Herodotus - Father of History

Besides being the first and foremost Historian, 
He avidly contributed to Geography due to his wide travels.
A Verse to his Fame                               
                    Herodotus

My Scroll and staff is with me
Didn't you know how far I see

In yonder times Herodotus shined
For travels and observations which he signed
           
                  From Italy, Greece in the west
                  Went to Colchis, Susa in the east


And to Egypt, Libya in the south
But knew not much about the north
