    Extractions: The war between Athens and the Athenian empire versus Sparta, Thebes, Corinth, and other members of the Peloponnesian Confederacy 431 - 404 B.C.E. Large scale campaigns and heavy fighting took place from Sicily to the coast of Asia Minor and from the Hellespont and Thrace to Rhodes. It was the first war in history to be recorded by an eyewitness historian of the highest caliber. It has come down through history as the archetypal war between a commercial democracy and an agricultural aristocracy and a war between a maritime superpower and a continental military machine. Thycidides' history is itself a classic, which for generations was considered a foundation of a proper education. The cities of the Boetian Confederacy under Theban leadership were Sparta's allies from the first. Syracuse and other Sicilian cities gave active help in the last part of the war. Argos, her hand tied by a treaty with Sparta, remained neutral during the first ten years, but as a democracy, was benevolently inclined towards Athens. Persia at first held aloof, waiting for an opportunity to regain her dominion over the Greek cities of the Asiatic seaboard, which Athens had liberated, but finally provided the crucial financial and logistic support required by Sparta to conduct a maritime offensive. Athens, was unpopular with many members of her own empire, but held most under control by her maritime supremacy. The war may be divided into three major periods or five phases:

    Extractions: If you have any interest in ancient history, do yourself a favor and read all four volumes of Kagans four volume treatise on the Peloponessian War. This is history at its finest. His writing style gracefully combines detailed historical analysis with his own ideas on what the historical record leaves for our speculation. All of this in what reads like a narrative history. Having a copy of Thucydides handy will only add to the experience. Kagans one volume version is good, but reading the four volume series takes it to a level that any serious fan of ancient history will enjoy. Definitely worth the investment of time and money. This book, and the other three in the series, are for serious readers only. But presumably you know that, if youre reading this. Youll need to read Thucydides first, at least once; it wouldnt hurt to read Xenophons Hellenica as well, not to mention all the extant plays of Aristophanes. Oh, and maybe a history or two on the Greco-Persian Wars.

    Extractions: (431-404 BC), war fought between the two leading city-states in ancient Greece, Athens and Sparta. Each stood at the head of alliances that, between them, included nearly every Greek city-state. The fighting engulfed virtually the entire Greek world, and it was properly regarded by Thucydides , whose contemporary account of it is considered to be among the world's finest works of history, as the most momentous war up to that time. The Athenian alliance was, in fact, an empire that included most of the island and coastal states around the northern and eastern shores of the Aegean Sea. Sparta was leader of an alliance of independent states that included most of the major land powers of the Peloponnese and central Greece, as well as the sea power Corinth. Thus, the Athenians had the stronger navy and the Spartans the stronger army. Further, the Athenians were better prepared financially than their enemies, owing to the large war chest they had amassed from the regular tribute they received from their empire. Athens and Sparta had fought each other before the outbreak of the Great Peloponnesian War (in what is sometimes called the First Peloponnesian War) but had agreed to a truce, called the Thirty Years' Treaty, in 445. In the following years their respective blocs observed an uneasy peace. The events that led to renewed hostilities began in 433, when Athens allied itself with Corcyra, a strategically important colony of Corinth. Fighting ensued, and the Athenians then took steps that explicitly violated the Thirty Years' Treaty. Sparta and its allies accused Athens of aggression and threatened war.

It ruined Athens. The rivalry between Athens' maritime domain and Sparta's land empire was of long standing. Athens under Pericles (from 445 B.C. ) had become a bastion of Greek democracy, with a foreign policy of regularly intervening to help local democrats. The Spartans, however, favored oligarchies like their own. Cleon , won a great victory at Sphacteria (now SfaktiriA) and refused a Spartan bid for peace. The Spartan leader Brasidas now brilliantly surprised Athens with a campaign in NE Greece, taking (424) Athenian cities, including Olynthus and Amphipolis. Fighting went on over these even after an armistice (423) and ended in a decisive Spartan victory at Amphipolis, in which Brasidas and Cleon were both killed (422). The new Athenian leader, Nicias , arranged a peace (421), but his rival Alcibiades persuaded the Athenians to invade powerful Syracuse. In the greatest expeditionary force a Greek city had ever assembled, Alcibiades and Nicias both had (415) commands, but before the attack on Syracuse had begun, Alcibiades was recalled to Athens to face a charge of sacrilege. He fled to Sparta; at his advice the Spartans set up a permanent base at Decelea in Attica and sent a military expert, Gylippus, to Syracuse. The incompetent Nicias lost his chance to surprise Syracuse, and after two years his force was wiped out (413).

    Extractions: Donald Kagan, The Peloponnesian War (New York: Viking, 2003), 511 pp. It was Alfred North Whitehead who said that all Western philosophy is but a footnote to Plato. The same can be said about the Greek historian Thucydides and the study of international relations. As Robert Gilpin, author of many books on international relations theory, writes in War and Change in World Politics , "In honesty, one must inquire whether or not twentieth-century students of international relations know anything that Thucydides and his fifth-century B.C. compatriots did not know about the behavior of states." He concludes that it is hard to find any contemporary issue of statecraft and foreign relations that does not have an antecedent in Thucydides’ magisterial account of the Peloponnesian War. Indeed, the Peloponnesian War features everything one finds in modern international relations theory and practice: "international anarchy," the condition in which political entities (

Sumer Site Navigation (ca 450-400 BCE.) Thucydides was an Athenian who lived during the mid-to-late-fifth century BC. As a historian, Thucydides is famous for writing about the history of the Peloponnesian War, which took place during his lifetime. Before the onset of the Peloponnesian War, ancient Greece was an epicenter of great military, intellectual, cultural and political development; it was also a time of questioning and reexamination of religious and traditional beliefs. The 440s B.C. and the 430s B.C. are known as the height of the Athenian Empire. It is the war that Thucydides describes that brings the empire to an end. Thucydides is often compared to Herodotus , who wrote about the Persian Wars, which took place in the early fifth century BC. According to modern writers, there are three debts Thucydides owes to Herodotus and several differences between the two writing styles. Sign my Guest Book Section Navigation Send mail to L.C.Geerts

    Extractions: Written four hundred years before the birth of Christ, this detailed contemporary account of the struggle between Athens and Sparta stands an excellent chance of fulfilling the author's ambitious claim that the work "was done to last forever." The conflicts between the two empires over shipping, trade, and colonial expansion came to a head in 431 b.c. in Northern Greece, and the entire Greek world was plunged into 27 years of war. Thucydides applied a passion for accuracy and a contempt for myth and romance in compiling this exhaustively factual record of the disastrous conflict that eventually ended the Athenian empire.
