Detailed explanation-1: -Hellenic historiography (or Greek historiography) involves efforts made by Greeks to track and record historical events. By the 5th century BC, it became an integral part of ancient Greek literature and held a prestigious place in later Roman historiography and Byzantine literature.
Detailed explanation-2: -’ The Development of Greek Historiography as Foundational for Later Historiographies. One might suggest it is a tautology to posit that the corpus of work produced by Greek historians in the fifth and fourth centuries BC as the foundation of later historiographies.
Detailed explanation-3: -Among the ancient Greek historians who created and defined the genre are Herodotus, Thucydides, and Xenophon.
