TBH this is a topic i have been wondering. i have read books from fiction (specifically a book series called Trials of Apollo) to non fiction.. but all of them all in common said, "Emperor Nero Blamed the burning of rome on christians even though it was him itself"

but did he really do it? or Was it actually the christans?

a real answer would be great thank you

Sadly there are high probabilities for 'Annals' by Tacitus to be a renaissance forgery by Poggio Bracciolini.

And since all the ancient historians' texts were transcribed by christian monks during middle age and no one of them has come to us in its original form, it go without saying that you should always trust archaeology more.

And this concerns everything that was written between Rome and Athens not only history, this is worth knowing.
 
Other than what others said, I suggest you read better books. Real mythology sounds a lot like stories but has deeper meaning in it. It's a great starting point. If you like Greek mythology, you can read the Iliad, Odyssey and Aeneid. You can also read Ovid, the Orphics, etc

All will deliver much better value than Rick Riordan both for entertainment and for more serious aspects.
