"Dani Levy's farcical romp My Führer: The Truly Truest Truth About Adolf Hitler may not deliver a Hitler with a song in his heart, but it certainly delivers a new Hitler for the millennium -- a clownish and sympathetic Führer in a lumpy jogging suit, whose execution of six million people and waging of total war is explained away by an abusive father and self-esteem issues." ... [6]. The superlative is not a Thucydidean idiosyncracy: cf., for example, Hdt. 7.233, where both anankê and the “truest logos” appear." "...truest cause [alêthestatê prophasis]...second appearance of the phrase alêthestatê prophasis (and its last appearance in all of Greek)...I have translated alêthestatê prophasis in these two passages as 'cause.'

ISBN: 978-0520207899.   "I have rendered the phrase alêthestatê prophasis as “the truest cause” because I wanted to stress the Greek superlative—if there are “truest” causes, then there presumably exist other causes that are true to a lesser degree, and indeed no single cause may even provide a single, comprehensive account.[6]  In rendering this phrase “real cause” Richard Crawley may slightly exaggerate, pushing Thucydides’ claim of intellectual authority from mere arrogance to absolute omniscience, but the phrase captures Thucydides’ goal, if not his claim.
