Like most members of the reigning Imperial family, she received an excellent literary education. "I am not destitute of letters," she writes in her preface, "but have thoroughly studied classical Greek"; and she adds that she had applied herself diligently to the mathematical quadrivium, to rhetoric, the philosophy of Aristotle, and the dialogues of Plato... Her quotations show a wide range or reading. Her history contains citations from, or allusions to, Homer, Sappho, Sophokles, Euripides, Aristophanes, Herodotus, Thucydides, Plato, Aristotle, Demosthenes, the Tactics of Aelian, and the astronomer Eudoxos, while she repeats a whole sentence from Polybios and another from John of Epiphania, and shows, as Byzantine writers always do, great familiarity with the Bible.

作为您强调的注释研究当然不够,作为"古希腊历史学家的影响"那应该还算得上是有点痕迹的,比"一塌糊涂的很"应该也还是强一些的。
