Language: English.\u003c\/p\u003e\n \u003cp\u003eBy exposing the perversion, repression, corruption, and injustice at the heart of Justinian's regime, Prokopios' The Secret History destroyed forever that emperor's reputation as the great and benevolent ruler of a vast Byzantine state.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFaithfully rendered here in blunt and idiomatic English, Prokopios' tell-all is as shocking today as it was in the sixth century. Kaldellis' substantial Introduction addresses, among other topics, the historical background to The Secret History; Prokopios' literary style and major themes; and the relationships between Prokopios, Justinian, and Empress Theodora. Maps, genealogies, a glossary, and a selection of related texts (including excerpts from Prokopios' Wars and Buildings and several contemporary documents) enhance and support the reading of this scandalous and suspenseful book.\u003c\/p\u003e  ","brand":"Prokopios, Anthony Kaldellis","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46071299440874,"sku":"9781603841801","price":14.02,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/5301\/6298\/files\/61emvLQIKBL._SY522.jpg?v=1781293864","url":"https:\/\/textbookme.store\/products\/the-secret-history-with-related-texts-hackett-classics","provider":"TextbookMe","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
