Five years before the birth of Jesus Christ, a Greek author named Herodotus was born. He grew up to become the first author of a book whose matter of crux was history. Even the name of the book is History. The very book gives meticulous and thorough details of the wars between Greece and Persia.
The History is narrated by Herodotus as a story incorporating the plot with tasteful elements like humour, wit of conversation, tragedy and humour. With his great experience in travelling, his scrupulous nature and his great geographical flair, Herodotus was able to portray vivid details of all happenings that constituted this book. The very fact not only augmented the literary charm of the book but also made it a classically written piece of literature. Not only that but Herodotus was also the first writer of Europe to contribute straightforward prose to the collections of literature.
