The Secret History by Procopius

2.0

Without having read the rest of Procopius (which I'm not even sure still exists) there are lots of gaps in this history--it's meant as a supplement revealing the secrets behind the recorded information. The writing is overblown, the details are in many cases clearly skewed, and though I'm glad I have finally read it (my first attempt was probably 20 years ago) it's not really something I'd recommend.
