Why should we not take this to be true?
Off the top of my head: Plutarch is not attesting to the events he writes about. In his defense it was 400 years earlier.
So...that's actually 401 reasons.
So if he was attesting to the events he writes about and it was 50 years earlier, that would be 50 reasons. Are you willing to apply that reasoning elsewhere?
