I would just put it a bit differently: Ancient historians wanted to make their works edifying as well as accurate. Hence they sometimes thought it appropriate to fill in—or even rework—the details of the events they described if doing so would make for a more compelling "portrait" of what transpired. But this "historical license" was always limited, and different authors drew the line in different places.PHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12011728672116977010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-72729089880384912422011-10-05T19:25:55.997-04:002011-10-05T19:25:55.997-04:00My response is too long for a blog comment, so I t...My response is too long for a blog comment, so I turned it into a blog post of its own.
