Question

Who were Herodotus's parents ? Where was he born?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Herodotus was born in about 485 B.C. in the Greek city of Halicarnassus, a lively commercial center on the southwestern coast of Asia Minor. He came from a wealthy and cosmopolitan Greek-Carian merchant family. ( The Carians, of Minoan descent, had arrived in that part of Asia Minor before the Greeks had. )
