    I would recommend you read some primary sources as well. It seems you are interested in classical antiquity, and if you want to expand oyur knowledge there is no better way than by reading what people living at the time actually wrote:

    U mean writings from historians such as Homer, Aristoles right? I have read a bit of their writings however one must remember that these people are not completely objective, as pointed out by modern historians.

    No historian is ever completely objective. As my signature says...

    I would actually say that a lot of modern historians are particularly subjective as well, substituting bias from pride for bias from political agendas

    No I think they are unintentionaly biased from a slight Ethnocentric point of veiw.
