- Herodotus was the first historian who collected information-seeking answers to a particular question and then put it in chronological order. While doing this he did not bring in notions like a god, human destiny, etc.
- Putting historical events in a chronological sequence became an essential theme of history writing.
- This theme proved to be fundamental in the development of history writing as an independent discipline.
- Therefore, Herodotus is said to be the father of historiography.
