This dissertation has as its aim to better understand the historical reliability of the ancient biographical genre. In order to accomplish this aim I examine four works commonly thought to belong to said genre using a methodology that is a mixture of both classical and biblical scholarship. The primary goal of the methodology is to uncover the exact portions of the biographies that can be verified by other primary sources. This author believes that the identification of material verified by sources literarily independent of the biographies being surveyed brings us in contact with the bedrock of historically reliable material in those particular biographies and on the most solid footing upon which we can eventually make claims about the genre as a whole. The four biographies surveyed here include Xenophon's Agesilaus, Cornelius Nepos's Atticus, Tacitus's Agricola, and The Gospel According to John. The sample size is smaller than what I had previously envisioned, but the evaluation of each one of these biographies is extensive and actually exceeds the institutionally prescribed space limitations. The hope is that the findings herein will move forward the conversation about the historical reliability of the ancient biographical genre and that the methodology will be a tool that can be utilized by others interested in this same topic.
