Procopius' account of the plague from his On the Wars II. 22-33. Provide your estimate of Procopius as a historian. Is his account based solely logic and reason? What information does he wish his audience to take away from his account?
What narrative elements does he include in his account that signal status as a member of elite society in sixth-century Constantinople? What do these elements suggest about his worldview? What narrative elements does he include in his account that suggest his views on religion or the supernatural?
