A review by fictionesque
The Secret History by Prokopios

3.0

Do not get this edition, the introduction is hilariously woman-hating and often assumes that the author is completely truthful and objective, which to me seems unrealistic and oversimplified since the veracity of this text is so highly contested. The text itself is fascinating, though. Will be reading more on Theodora, hopefully from a more intelligent historian than wrote this intro.
