A biography (from Greek bÃos ["life"] + gráphÅ� ["write"]) is a (supposedly) factual accounting of the life of a real person. Biographies date back to the invention of the written word, making this Older Than Dirt. The word is derived from the classical Greek root words auto (self or "without external prompting"), bio (life) and graphy (to write about). Super-Trope to Autobiography—a biography written by the person it's about—and Biopic—a biography in movie form. |
