Who was the first historian of Europe?

The title of the first historian of Europe is often attributed to Herodotus, a Greek historian from the 5th century BCE. Known as the "Father of History," he wrote "Histories," which chronicled the Greco-Persian Wars and offered insights into the cultures and events of the time. His method of collecting and verifying information laid the groundwork for future historical writing. While other cultures had records, Herodotus' work is considered the first comprehensive attempt at historical narrative in Europe.
