Hi
Eratosthenes is called as the father of geography.
He was the first who had used the word geography and he had a rough idea of the planet because of which he was able to determine the circumference of the earth and so he is known as the father of geography
Thankyou

Hi there,
The ancient Greek scholar Eratosthenes is commonly called the "father of geography" for he was the first to use the word geography and he had a small-scale notion of the planet that led him to be able to determine the circumference of the earth.
