Logographer (history)
The logographers (from the Ancient Greek λογογράφος, logographos, a compound of λόγος, logos, here meaning 'story' or 'prose', and γράφω, grapho, 'write') were the Greek historiographers and chroniclers before Herodotus, "the father of history". Herodotus himself called his predecessors λογοποιόι (logopoioi, from ποιέω, poieo, 'to make'). Thucydides applies the name to all who preceded him, including Herodotus (I, 21).
