'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.

总觉得古希腊人活得好不真实...
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。
