Description
Thucydides' account of the Peloponnesian War is considered one of the most famous works in the Western historical tradition. Written over two decades ago, it remains a valuable source of military, moral, political, and philosophical wisdom. This new edition of The Landmark Thucydides aims to make this ancient text more accessible to modern readers. It includes a range of features such as maps, informative appendices, explanatory marginal notes, and an index to help readers understand the context and geography of the conflict. With its updated translation and revised design, this edition provides a clearer narrative and a deeper understanding of the cultural context in which Thucydides wrote. By including these additional resources, readers can easily dip into the text at any point and be oriented with regard to the date, stage, and location of the conflict.
