ancient chronicles
Historical written accounts
Ancient chronicles are historical records from distant eras, typically written accounts documenting events, rulers, and significant occurrences of their time.
The phrase emphasizes both age and the narrative form of record-keeping: According to ancient chronicles, the dynasty lasted three centuries.
Chronicles differ from modern histories in their often uncritical mixing of fact, legend, and divine intervention.
