Historical events or historical figures are often a source of literature. Writers have taken historical giants such as Julius Caesar to create plays about this figure as did Shakespeare in his epic play Julius Caesar.
Screen writing has given us films from Spartacus to Cleopatra.
The writer's purpose is not to be a historian but rather to enrich a story about love, power, and struggle.
