'The greatest historian that ever lived' Such was Macaulay's verdict on Thucydides (c. 460-400 BC) and his history of the Peloponnesian War, the momentous struggle between Athens and Sparta as rival powers and political systems that lasted for twenty-seven years from 431 to 404 BC, involved virtually the whole of the Greek world, and ended in the fall of Athens. Thucydides himself was a participant in the war; to his history he brings an awesome intellect, brilliant narrative, and penetrating analysis of the nature of power, as it affects both states and individuals. Of his own work Thucydides wrote: 'I shall be content if [my history] is judged useful by those who will want to have a clear understanding of what happened - and, such is the human condition, will happen again ...It was composed as a permanent legacy, not a showpiece for a single hearing.' So it has proved. Of the prose writers of Greece and Rome Thucydides has had more lasting influence on western thought than all but Plato and Aristotle. This new edition combines a masterly translation with comprehensive supporting material. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

读后感
看到第七卷。西西里远征。倾尽整个帝国力量的远征军全军覆灭。 撤退的时候，描写跟着军队被撤走的士兵看到被遗弃的活人，“全军上下泪水涟涟”。我不禁也是泫然欲泣了。——看历史的时候，我总是难以像平常那样产生共情的，毕竟两千多年前的事件，如果没有修昔底德或者其他史家...
评分有些艰难的读完了《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》，对着《政治学说史》看了看。感觉后者有一个很重要的问题没有提及。即修昔底德对民主政治的描述，《政治学说史》中鲍罗廷提到修昔底德对民主政治的态度时只列举了民主政治在组织米诺斯的大屠杀中的作用。然而，在我看来，修昔底德主要表...

评分又懒得开电脑写公众号了（常年如此），在这里整理一下第一天读修昔底德《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》的读书笔记。作为两千多年前的历史学家，修昔底德的记录、见识和方法在今天仍有强大的生命力。而“修昔底德陷阱”这个词今年因全球局势动态再度流行就是一个例证。 以下即使带引号的也...

still good, but it seems that this is not the best translated version
评分文字比landmark好读。此刻只想写完论文，但总觉得会写出一个似是而非东西，毕竟读不懂希腊语总是隔靴搔痒..
评分总觉得古希腊人活得好不真实...
评分非常优秀的英译本，以1942年Powell修订过的Jones校勘本为底本，比洛布依据的Hude本善，略逊于同样基于Jones但是参了不少Alberti本的Mynott本。序言不仅简明扼要地介绍了修昔底德的写作风格、史学价值与影响，以及修昔底德的接受史，还涉及了不少相关学术动态。译文比Crawley和Warner准确，理解起来也不算困难。尾注没Mynott详细但也还能接受。就是没有保留Section编码这点emmm。
评分still good, but it seems that this is not the best translated version
