1. Migration to Athens

   0447-01-01 BC · Athens, Attica, Greece

   

   Herodotus migrated to Periclean Athens, where the biography places him among the city's people, institutions, topography, and leading families. The source dates the migration only 'sometime around 447 BC'; coordinates represent Athens generally.

2. Migration to Thurii

   0443-01-01 BC · Thurii, Calabria, Italy

   

   Herodotus joined the Athenian-sponsored colonial migration to Thurii in Magna Graecia and was later identified as Herodotus of Thurium. The source allows 443 BC or shortly afterward. The exact site of Greek Thurii is uncertain; coordinates are a representative point near the Sybaris archaeological area.
