• Comnena (Anna), 1083-1153, The
Alexiad. The author of this
classic history was the daughter of 12th century Byzantine emperor
Alexius I. Her book covers her father's reign and the First Crusade
from the Byzantine point of view. Translated by E.R.A. Sewter
[Penguin Classics, 1969, p.17]. "The stream of Time, irresistible,
ever moving, carries off and bears away all things that come to birth
and plunges them into utter darkness, both deeds of no account and
deeds which are mighty and worthy of commemoration; as the playwright
[Sophocles] says, it "brings to light that which was unseen and
shrouds from us that which was manifest." Nevertheless, the science
of History is a great bulwark against the stream of Time; in a way
it checks this irresistible flood, it holds in a tight grasp whatever
it can seize floating on the surface and will not allow it to slip
away into the depths of Oblivion."
