61. Robert Strassler And The Relevance Of Thucydides The nuances of thucydides thoughts and the milieu of the ancient world, long inaccessible to readers of thucydides in translation, have now been brought to http://www.alumni.hbs.edu/bulletin/1997/april/profile.html

Learning from the Past Insights into contemporary human behavior and society, written more than 2,400 years ago. A fter witnessing the civil war that has ravaged his country for almost three decades, an historian makes this observation about the moral decline of the nation: "The ancient simplicity into which honor so largely entered was laughed down and disappeared, and society became divided into camps in which no man trusted his fellow." "Revenge," he also writes, "was held of more account than self-preservation." The nuances of Thucydides' thoughts and the milieu of the ancient world, long inaccessible to readers of Thucydides in translation, have now been brought to life for readers of English through the efforts of businessman-scholar Robert B. Strassler (MBA '61). Published in 1996, The Landmark Thucydides: A Comprehensive Guide to the Peloponnesian War, which Strassler conceived and edited, is a 711-page work that includes an updated version of the classic Richard Crawley translation, 114 specially commissioned maps, and 11 explanatory appendices as well as numerous footnotes and other study aids. The volume's publication marks the realization of a long-held ambition for Strassler, who first became acquainted with English versions of Thucydides in high school and college. "Thucydides' history is a window on the world of Athens and Sparta," says Strassler. "But beyond that, it provides an extraordinary case study, as relevant today as it was then, of society breaking down under the brutalizing effects of war. For many subjects, from history to philosophy, from ethics to aesthetics, our intellectual inheritance from the ancient Greeks is so vital that those of us who are ignorant of their great works know themselves less well than they might, and to their cost."

THUCYDIDES THUCYDIDES It would be a hasty judgment which inferred from the omis 455. sions of the History that its authors interests were exclusively political. Thucydides was not writing the history of a period. His subject was an eventthe Peloponnesian Wara war, as he believed, of unequalled importance, alike in its direct results and in its political significance for all time. To his task, thus defined, he brought an intense concentration of all his faculties. He worked with a constant desire to make each successive incident of the war as clear as possible. To take only two instances: there is nothing in literature more graphic than his description of the plague at Athens, or than the whole narrative of the Sicilian expedition. But the same temper made him resolute in excluding irrelevant topics. The social life of the time, the literature and the art did not belong to his subject. exile. His own words make it clear that he returned to Athens, at least for a time, in 404, though the precise date is uncertain The older view (cf. Classen) was that he returned some si~ months after Athens surrendered to Lysander. More probabi) he was recalled by the special resolution carried by Oenobiu: Thucydides stands alone among the men of his own days, and has no superior of any age, in the width of mental grasp which could seize the general significance of particular events. The political education of mankind began in Greece, and in the time of Thucydides their political life was still young. Thucydides knew only the small city-commonwealth on the one hand, and on the other the vast barbaric kingdom; and yet, as has been well said of him, there is hardly a problem in the science of government which the statesman will not find, if not solved, at any rate handled, in the pages of this universal master.

THE PLAGUE IN ATHENS DURING THE PELOPONNESIAN WAR HISTORICAL BACKGROUND TO THUCYDIDES' DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAGUE Thucydides is our primary source for this war. He was an upper-class Athenian and lived through the war (or nearly though it it is unclear when he died, but he left his work unfinished). While serving as general he was exiled for coming late to an engagement, and as a result he spent much of the war in exile in the northern Aegean where his family had land the same territory in which the doctors who composed the Epidemics were traveling. He was highly aware of the intellectual currents of the time, and both medicine and rhetoric have influenced his presentation of the war. According to Thucydides, at first enthusiasm for the war was high. Large numbers of young men on both sides who had no experience of war saw it as an adventure and a potential source of profit. But even the first year of the war brought losses and hardship to the Athenians, much of it caused by the radical strategy advocated by the Athenians' current political leader, Pericles, to rely mainly on Athenian naval supremacy: bring all the people in Attica into the city and abandon the outlying countryside to destruction by the Spartans, relying upon the navy to supply the city with food and other necessities that would be carried through the fortified corridor from the port of the Pireus into the city itself (the Long Walls). By 415 the military rolls were full again (Thuc. 6.26), but the thirty-plus generation that filled offices and provided leadership had not yet been replenished.

71. THUCYDIDES AND THE PLAGUE IN ATHENS thucydides AND THE PLAGUE IN ATHENS. As thucydides notes, the Athenians had lost their faith in the gods and in the law as a result of their sufferings http://oll.temple.edu/ih/IH51/Greeks/Thucydides/ThucydidesFac7.htm

INTELLECTUAL HERITAGE 51 CLASSICAL GREEK RELIGIOUS HUMANIST ... Plato THUCYDIDES AND THE PLAGUE IN ATHENS by Steve Zelnick In his account of the Peloponnesian War, Thucydides describes the terrible plague that fell upon Athens when the Athenian people were gathered inside their walled city in a defensive strategy meant to frustrate the Spartans. Reading these passages we can better understand Sophocles' Oedipus , the King and the urgency with which the playwright addresses his fellow citizens. Where Pericles, in 'his "Funeral Oration" celebrated the self-sufficiency of man and never once mentioned the gods as a source of the city's grandeur and accomplishment, Sophocles reminds his audience that man is not the measure of all things and that catastrophes must be understood, through faith, as part of a larger story that human beings cannot know. As Thucydides notes, the Athenians had lost their faith in the gods and in the law as a result of their sufferings: The most terrible thing of all was the despair into which people fell when they realized that they had caught the plague; for they would immediately adopt an attitude of utter hopelessness, and, by giving in in this way, would lose their powers of resistance. Terrible, too, was the sight of people dying like sheep through having caught the disease as a result of nursing others ....When they did visit the sick, they lost their own lives, and this was particularly true of those who made it a point of honor to act properly.

Thucydides was a wealthy Athenian noble and the son of Olorus the King of Thrace . His wealth came from his family's goldmines at Scapte Hyle on the Tracian coast. Thucydides was connected through family to Miltiades and Cimon . Thucydides lived between his two homes, one in Athens and one in Thrace. His family connections brought him in to contact with the very men who were shaping the history he wrote about. Timeline of his life Before 431 he took no prominent part in Athenian politics. He was in his twenties when the Peloponnesian War occurred, and was in active service at the time. In 427 he caught the plague and recovered. In 424 (his mid thirties) he was appointed strategos . He failed to save Amphipolis from Brasidas during the War in 424. He was exiled for seven years. From 423 to 404 he lived in Thrace. During this time he travelled the Peloponnese, using his status as an exile from Athens to assimilate in to the Peloponnesian allies. He may have travelled to Sicily for the

A READER'S JOURNAL Thucydides Speeches of Pericles by H. G. Edinger Milestones of Thought Published by Frederick Ungar Pub. Co/NY "); // End > Search the Web   One cannot read the funeral oration of Pericles without having a sense of deja vu even if one had never read or heard of the speeches before. Here's a passage that affected me that way. It is the very opening words of his funeral speech. Read it and see if you have a similar sense: [page 32] "Many of those who have spoken here in the past have praised the custom of delivering this eulogy. They have felt it was right to make such a speech honoring the soldiers who have fallen in war. As for me, our performance of this burial suffices to show respect for the glories of these men, who have shown their bravery by their performance in battle. You have just seen the deep respect demonstrated in this burial solemnized by the state. Our belief in the valor of these men should not depend on whether one man's oratory is good or bad. The burial ceremony itself is preferable to the risk of putting the acts of bravery of numerous men into the custody of a single orator who might speak well or badly." Now read what a modern day Pericles wrote about soldiers who had fallen in war a short 140 years ago: "We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting-place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this. But in a larger sense, we cannot dedicate, we cannot consecrate, we cannot hallow this ground. The brave men, living and dead who struggled here have consecrated it far above our poor power to add or detract."

Thucydides Greek Commander and Historian [1] The modern Greeks claim that the ancient Macedonians were Greek based on the below passage of Thucydides: "The country by the sea which is now called Macedonia... Alexander, the father of Perdiccas, and his forefathers, who were originally Temenidae from Argos" (Thucydides 2.99,3) That this myth does not prove that the Macedonians were Greek I offer the extensive study conducted by the Macedonian specialist, Professor Eugene Borza. Analyzing the Temenidae myth transmitted by Herodotus and Thucydides, in details in two Chapters, Eugene Borza - In the Shadow of Olympus p.82-83 gives the following conclusion: a) "It is clear that the analysis of our earliest-and sole-source cannot produce a consistent and satisfactory sequence of events. My own view is that there is some underlying veracity to the Mt. Vermion reference (as evidenced by the Phrygian connections), that among the Makedones a family of Vermion background emerged as pre-eminent, but that the
