Πῶς δεῖ Ἱστορίαν συγγράφειν

Πῶς δεῖ Ἱστορίαν συγγράφειν Lucian of Samosata
13 Most of our historians today are like that, courting private whim and the profit they expect from their history. One might well loathe them as blatant flatterers of no ability in their own time, while to posterity they make the whole business of written history suspect by their exaggerations. If anyone supposes that giving pleasure has to be mixed into all historical writing, there are other refinements of style that combine pleasure with truth. The run of historians neglect these and pile up tasteless incongruities one upon the other.
