Nearly two dozen eminent historians from eight countries have come to the Turkish Aegean for a workshop on Herodotus, known as the “Father of History.” Starting on Wednesday, the International Herodotus Workshop aims to make it better known that Herodotus hails from Bodrum, now the Turkish resort city of Bodrum. Herodotus, an ancient Greek historian, was born in Halicarnassus – now Bodrum – in the fifth century before Jesus. ECI reports, citing Anadolu agency.
