King Leonidas of Sparta and the Battle of Thermopylae, made famous by the blockbuster movie 300, began with Herodotus\' stories.
In the later part of his life he went to Italy where he did more work on his book and finally died there in 425 BC.
Finally he decided to write a book about them.
When he came back from his travels he went to Athens in Greece and gave lectures about the places he had visited.
Herodotus was a keen traveller who went all over the ancient world and was interested in everything he saw and heard.
Here his Stories are retold so that future generations can benefit from their wisdom and cultural richness.
He lived about 2,500 years ago, and was born at a place called Halicarnassus in Asia Minor.
That is why he is sometimes called the \'Father of History\'.
Herodotus wrote the first history book in the world.
