Description
Thucydides' account of two decades of war between Athens and Sparta is considered one of the most famous works in the Western historical tradition. Written centuries before modern historiography, this narrative presents challenges to the uninitiated reader due to its non-continuous and linear structure. A new edition by Robert Strassler aims to address these omissions, providing a coherent narrative and reconstructing the lost cultural context that Thucydides shared with his original audience. This updated translation includes a range of features such as maps, informative appendices, explanatory marginal notes, and an index to enhance comprehension. With this edition, readers can easily orient themselves within the text by referencing geography, season, date, and stage of conflict, making it accessible for those new to the subject or seeking a deeper understanding.
