Explain historical bias and interpretations under Greek and Roman times in one or two sentences.

1 answer

Historical bias in Greek and Roman times often stemmed from the perspectives of elite males, as their writings typically reflected their values, social hierarchies, and political agendas, leading to a skewed understanding of events and societies. This bias influenced interpretations of history, emphasizing the achievements and virtues of their own cultures while often marginalizing or misrepresenting those of women, non-citizens, and conquered peoples.
