Answer:
Almost around 425 BC the Greek philosopher Herodotus first used the term history.
Before Herodotus no philosopher has ever done such a straight forward work related to events of past and soon others followed the venture.
Explanation:
- The Greek historian 'Herodotus' devoted his whole life on a single project named the accounts of origin and execution of Greco-Persian wars.
- This project was named as "The Histories" and thus giving the term 'history' that we know today.
- Herodotus is also called as the father of history and praised for his works related to the studies of past social events.
- In short, 'The Histories' was a detailed work of the wars. Also, it was also a step to conclude who cause the fight and who sacrificed what.
Hence, we can say that Herodotus was the first Greek philosopher to coin the term history.
