I suppose it turns on what you deem a real historian.
Were Plutarch, Thucydides and Herodotus real historians?
What about Josephus?
What about Maqtal al-Husayn, Al Tarikh wa al-Maghazi, Beyhaqi or Ibn Khaldun?
Or Livy, Tacitus or Suetonius?
Do none of these non-real historians rely upon belief, myth or tradition? |
