The History Of The Peloponnesian War By Thucydides
Thucydides On Aristogeiton and Harmodius, from The history of the PeloponnesianWar, 6th. Book Written ca. 431 BC Translated by Richard Crawley.
http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/pwh/thuc6.html

Extractions: During the Peloponnesian War, an group of vandals went around Athens knocking the phalluses off Hermes - the steles with the head and phallus of the God Hermes which were often outside houses. This incident, which lead to suspicions of the Athenian general Alciabiades, provided Thucydided with a spring board to recount the story of Harmodius and Aristogeiton, two homosexual lovers credited by the Athenians with overthrowing tyranny. At last the festival arrived; and Hippias with his bodyguard was outside the city in the Ceramicus, arranging how the different parts of the procession were to proceed. Harmodius and Aristogiton had already their daggers and were getting ready to act, when seeing one of their accomplices talking familiarly with Hippias, who was easy of access to every one, they took fright, and concluded that they were discovered and on the point of being taken; and eager if possible to be revenged first upon the man who had wronged them and for whom they had undertaken all this risk, they rushed, as they were, within the gates, and meeting with Hipparchus by the Leocorium recklessly fell upon him at once, infuriated, Aristogiton by love, and Harmodius by insult, and smote him and slew him. Aristogiton escaped the guards at the moment, through the crowd running up, but was afterwards taken and dispatched in no merciful way: Harmodius was killed on the spot.

Extractions: ISBN: 0-670-03211-5 Available for purchase at Amazon.com Introduction For almost three decades at the end of the fifth century b.c. the Athenian Empire fought the Spartan Alliance in a terrible war that changed the Greek world and its civilization forever. Only a half-century before its outbreak the united Greeks, led by Sparta and Athens, had fought off an assault by the mighty Persian Empire, preserving their independence by driving Persia's armies and navies out of Europe and recovering the Greek cities on the coasts of Asia Minor from its grasp. The Peloponnesian War not only brought this remarkable period to an end, but was recognized as a critical turning point even by those who fought it. The great historian Thucydides tells us that he undertook his history as the war began, in the belief that it would be great and noteworthy above all the wars that had gone before, inferring this from the fact that both powers were then at their best in preparedness for war in every way, and seeing the rest of the Hellenic people taking sides with one side or the other, some at once, others planning to do so. For this was the greatest upheaval that had ever shaken the Hellenes, extending also to some part of the barbarians, one might say even to a very large part of mankind.

Extractions: Ancient Greece Ancient Greece Greek Mythology Homer Sparta ... Alexander the Great The Peloponnesian War The Golden Age of Greece was short lived. Athens and Sparta were both powerful poli, and each wanted to spread their way of life. Sparta attacked Athens in 431 BC, beginning the brutal 27 year long Peloponnesian War. One out four people in Athens died shortly after the war began, but not because they were defeated in battle. When Sparta attacked, the Athenian people crowded behind the walls of the city. The cramped and dirty living conditions were an easy target for disease. A plague, or great sickness, spread through the city. Sickness claimed the life of Percales, the leader of Athens. Once Percales died, the people began to listen to demagogues. Demagogues were bad leaders who appealed to people's emotions rather than logic. Sparta eventually defeated Athens by building blockade around the walls of the city. This is called a siege. The people of Athens could not leave to get supplies or food from the countryside. Faced with starvation, Athens surrendered to Sparta in 404 BC.

Extractions: Funeral Oration of Pericles Athenians Since we are not allowed to speak to the people, lest, in truth, a multitude should be deceived by seductive and unanswerable arguments which they would hear set forth in a single uninterrupted oration (for we are perfectly aware that this is what you mean in bringing us before a select few), you who are sitting here may as well make assurance yet surer. Let us have no set speeches at all, but do you reply to each several statement of which you disapprove, and criticize it at once. Say first of all how you like this mode of proceeding. The Melian representatives answered:, "The quiet interchange of explanations is a reasonable thing, and we do not object to that. But your warlike movements, which are apparent not only to our fears but to our eyes, seem to belie your words. We see that, although you may reason with us, you mean to be our judges; and that at the end of the discussion, if the justice of our cause prevail and we therefore refuse to yield, we may expect war; if we are convinced by you, slavery." Athenians Nay, but if you are only going to argue from fancies about the future, or if you meet with any other purpose than that of looking your circumstances in the face and saving your city, we have nothing more to say; but if the good of your city is your intention, then we will proceed.

Extractions: History of the Peloponnesian War is an account of the battles, conflicts, and politics of the Peloponnesian War , fought between the Peloponnesian League Sparta ) and the Delian League Athens ), written by an Athenian general who served in the war, Thucydides . It is widely considered a classic and was one of the earliest scholarly works of history Thucydides' History begins almost exactly where Herodotus Histories leaves off. Unlike Herodotus, who openly admitted to recounting popular beliefs in cases when evidence was lacking or insufficient, Thucydides aimed to provide an accurate and detailed account, thoroughly citing his sources whenever he could not provide a first-hand account. Additionally, the gods play no role in Thucydides' work, unlike the many appearances they make in the writings of Herodotus (and their near ubiquity in Homer's work). Thucydides' masterpiece is divided into eight books and is roughly chronological, though the action jumps around sometimes between the various theaters of conflict. One major feature of the work are the dozens of speeches by the principle figures in the war. These include addresses given to troops by their generals before battles and numerous political debates, both amongst Athenian and Spartan leaders and between them. Of the speeches, the most famous is the funeral oration of Pericles , which is found in Book Two. Thucydides undoubtedly heard some of these speeches himself while for others he relied on eye witness accounts. Some of the speeches are probably fabricated according to his expectations of what must have been said.
