Suetonius was a biographer, I have no respect for him<br>
<br>
More seriously, biography and history were two vrey different arts in the ancient world, though both were corrupted (from our point of view) by what can be politely described as a lack of objectivity on the part of the authors. <p><i>Unless the Persians fly away like birds, hide in the earth like mice, or leap into a lake like frogs, they will never see their homes again, but will die under our arrows</i></p><i></i>
