Hi,


But even the Greeks did not write history as we think of it today, rather
they recorded past events as long as they made rollicking good stories—if
they were accurate, all the better, but strict accuracy took back seat to
narration.


This is especially true of Herodotus.

To be fair, though, Thucydides does make an attempt to appear a little more professional.
