Herodotus & Sheba Blake 
An Account of Egypt | The Pink Classics 

Herodotus was a 5th century Greek philosopher. He is the ’Father of History..’ Herodotus was the first historian to collect materials, check them for accuracy and them place them in chronological order. His writings give the reader a sense of the nature of the world and of science during his time. Herodotus wrote a nine volume series called The Histories. An Account of Egypt or Euterpe is the second in the series. This is an eyewitness account of life in Egypt written in a simple style which is pleasing to read.
