By: THUCYDIDES (ΘΟΥΚΥΔΊΔΗΣ) (c. 460 BCE - c. 395 BCE), translated by Richard CRAWLEY (1840 - 1893)
The History of the Peloponnesian War is an
account of the Peloponnesian War in Ancient Greece, fought between the
Peloponnesian League (led by Sparta) and the Delian League (led by
Athens) in the 5th Century BC. It was written by Thucydides, an Athenian
general who served in the war. It is widely considered a classic and
regarded as one of the earliest scholarly works of history. The History
is divided into eight books. These book divisions are the work of
editors in later antiquity.
W. R. Connor [...] describes Thucydides as "an artist who responds
to, selects and skillfully arranges his material, and develops its
symbolic and emotional potential."
