Extractions: Last updated: 12/04/2003 Many students of Herodotus will no doubt be aware of Thucydides, born c460 and died 401 BC. The man wrote his history of the Peloponnesian war between Athens and Sparta which took place between 431 and 404 BC. However Thucydides's work essentially starts where Herodotus left off, which today's scholars see as one of his greatest compliments to his predecessor. Thucydides's style is very much colder than Herodotus's, even to the extent that Meier describes Thucydides as "emotionally frigid" (Meier "Athens" 1999), which I think is a good epitaph for the historian's work. Thucydides tells us of his method : I do not think that one will be far wrong in accepting the conclusions which I have reached from the evidence which I have put forward. It is better evidence than that of the poets, who exaggerate the importance of their themes (T. is referring possibly to people such as Hessiod) , or of the logographers (eg Hecateus) who are less interested in telling the truth than in catching the attention of their public, whose authorities cannot be checked and whose subject matter, owing to the passage of time, is mostly lost in the unreliable streams of mythology. We may claim instead to have used only the plainest evidence and to have reached conclusions which are reasonably accurate, considering that we have been dealing with ancient history...

The Landmark Thucydides : A Comprehensive Guide To The Peloponnesian War
The Landmark thucydides A Comprehensive Guide to the Peloponnesian War. What makes thucydides even more compelling is that he was not some ashen academic.
http://www.historyofmilitary.com/The_Landmark_Thucydides__A_Comprehensive_Guide_

Extractions: I bought the Landmark Thucydides because it was the only hardback edition I could find. I was pleasantly surprised because it happens to be the best modern edition available. The editor, Robert Strasser, set out to make the most authoritative book on Thucydidess History of the Peloponnesian War, and I believe he has succeeded brilliantly. Strasser uses Richard Crawleys translation, apparently revised and updated. In any case the text is very good, though Thucydides syntax is sometimes complex and even a bit confusing. Strasser uses marginal notes besides each paragraph to summarize the events described in the text. The most valuable additions are the maps- there are maps every few pages, illustrating the geography described in the text as needed. Other welcome additions are a timeline, breaking down the events of the book according to date, appendices covering topics such as Athenian and Spartan government, trireme construction, land and naval warfare in ancient times, and even an essay on the monetary units and religious festivals used in the ancient world. There is also an introduction, discussing both the text and the author in detail and in the context of their time. There is also a full and complete index. If you want Thucydides, this is the book to buy!

Extractions: Click Up For Period Summary Contents Introduction The Early History of Greece Agamemnon The Funeral Oration of Pericles ... Source The Peloponnesian War started when the Spartans and their allies invaded Attica in the spring of 431 BCE. The Athenians held a funeral at the public charge for those who fell in the first year of the war. In the funeral oration that Thucydides attributes to Pericles, he portrays the Athenian democracy at its zenith, praising the interest of Athenians in public affairs and their respect for authority and for the laws, with special regard for those protecting the injured. This last is important, because Pericles also praised the Athenian s' practice of sending untrained troops into war. Eventually, they learned the truth of the observation by Confucius that to send untrained troops into war was to throw them away and resorted to use of a professional army to prevent further reduction of their population. Thucydides, an Athenian, wrote the history of the war in which the Peloponnesians and the Athenians fought against one another. He began to write when they first took up arms, believing that it would be great and memorable above any previous war. For he argued that both states were then at the full height of their military power, and he saw the rest of the Hellenes either siding or intending to side with one or other of them. No movement ever stirred Hellas more deeply than this; it was shared by many of the Barbarians, and might be said even to affect the world at large. The character of the events which preceded, whether immediately or in more remote antiquity, owing to the lapse of time cannot be made out with certainty. But, judging from the evidence which I am able to trust after most careful enquiry, I should imagine that former ages were not great either in their wars or in anything else.

The Limits Of Anachronism, By Bay Woods (h2so4)
Hobbes, thucydides, and Us. by Bay Woods 1. thucydides, the Ancient Greek historian of the Peloponnesian War, was also looking for the essence of conflict.
http://www.h2so4.net/politics/anachronism.html

Extractions: webmaster@h2so4.net by Bay Woods If we are to escape reducing our political decisions to the choice between Coke and Pepsi, we need to replace our anachronistic ideas with a new anachronism. Crisis creates comparison. Whenever something completely shatters our conceptual frameworks, we almost immediately rebuild them, stronger and more forcefully than ever. The less sure we are the more sure we want to seem. As a result we do not think with the kind of suppleness required by the situation at hand. As new situations arise we trap ourselves within the Coke/Pepsi dichotomy again, as if there were only two choices, and both were nothing at all new. Thus, at the time of this writing, war time, it is difficult to avoid such comparisons. These comparisons fall into two categories, both of which can be called anachronism. "Hawks" tend to equate bin Laden with Hitler, or the World Trade Center with Pearl Harbor. In either case these people are thinking within the framework of the Second World War. Doves, on the other hand, tend to make the comparison with Viet Nam on a variety of grounds. The most common of these grounds are either the colonial situation or the lack of a clear goal (and thus lack of chance of achieving it). It is possible, however, that the situation calls for neither hawk nor dove, but a new anachronism. Rather than allowing disaster to strengthen our old ways of thinking, we should allow those old frameworks to crumble so that we can think anew.

Extractions: The Melian Dialogue (Book 5, Chapter 17) Sixteenth Year of the War - The Melian Conference - Fate of Melos Athenians. Since the negotiations are not to go on before the people, in order that we may not be able to speak straight on without interruption, and deceive the ears of the multitude by seductive arguments which would pass without refutation (for we know that this is the meaning of our being brought before the few), what if you who sit there were to pursue a method more cautious still? Make no set speech yourselves, but take us up at whatever you do not like, and settle that before going any farther. And first tell us if this proposition of ours suits you. The Melian commissioners answered: Melians. To the fairness of quietly instructing each other as you propose there is nothing to object; but your military preparations are too far advanced to agree with what you say, as we see you are come to be judges in your own cause, and that all we can reasonably expect from this negotiation is war, if we prove to have right on our side and refuse to submit, and in the contrary case, slavery.
