Theseus
As geographers crowd into the edges of their maps parts of the
world which they do not know about, adding notes in the margin to
the effect that beyond this lies nothing but sandy deserts full of
wild beasts, unapproachable bogs, Seythian ice, or frozen sea, so,
in this great work of mine, in which I have compared the lives of
the greatest men with one another, after passing through those
periods which probable reasoning can reach to and real history
find a footing in, I might very well say of those that are farther
off, Beyond this there is nothing but prodigies and fictions; the
only inhabitants are the poets and inventors of fables; there is
no credit, or certainty any farther.
