   Well, I kind of suspect that Herodotus, the Father of History,  never   
   actually saw the Ant-Men he wrote about.   
      
   And comparing his version of the Course of the Nile with reality   
   suggests he missed a turn somewhere in the Sudan, resulting in a Nile   
   that moves West directly below the Sahara instead of continuing on   
   South.   
      
   And Thucydides, in /The Peloponesian Wars/, explicitly states that all   
   those great speeches he gives were made up by him to suit the   
   situation.   
      
   And, despite Schliemann's literally digging Troy and Mycenae out of   
   the ground, many believe that Homer's accounts were not entirely   
   accurate.   
   --    
   "Here lies the Tuscan poet Aretino,   
   Who evil spoke of everyone but God,   
   Giving as his excuse, 'I never knew him.'"
