Quote by Voltaire
All our ancient history, as one of our wits remarked, is no more than accepted fiction.
Summary
This quote suggests that much of what we perceive as ancient history is not entirely reliable or factual, but rather a collection of stories and narratives that have been commonly accepted over time. It implies that the historical accounts we have inherited might be biased, embellished, or even entirely fictional. It emphasizes the subjective nature of historical interpretation and encourages a critical approach to understanding the past.
