Eratosthenes

According to most scholars, Eratosthenes is known as the father of Geography because he is considered to have been the first person to use the word 'Geography'.

The term geography was first coined by Eratosthenese, a Greek scholar (276¬194 BC.). The word has been derived from two Greek words geo (earth) and graphos (description). Put together, they mean description of the earth. The earth has always been seen as the abode of human beings and thus, scholars defined geography as, “the description of the earth as the abode of human beings”.
