How could a historian like Procopius give two such different accounts of the same person?

Well, when Procopius gave his official account of Justinian (saying that he was serious, even-tempered, and worked from dawn to midnight), Justinian was probably in power, and if Procopius said what was really on his mind, he would have been killed (or at least exiled). Procopius decided to wait until after Justinian's death to publish "The Secret History" which portrays to the truth of Justinian's "deceitful, devious, false, hypocritical, two-faced, [and] cruel" ways (The Secret History).
