Thucydides called his account of two decades of war between Athens and Sparta "a possession for all time," and indeed it is the first and still most famous work in the Western historical tradition. Considered essential reading for generals, statesmen, and liberally educated citizens for more than 2,000 years, The Peloponnesian War is a mine of military, moral, political, and philosophical wisdom. However, this classic book has long presented obstacles to the uninitiated reader. Robert Strassler's new edition removes these obstacles by providing a new coherence to the narrative overall, and by effectively reconstructing the lost cultural context that Thucydides shared with his original audience. Based on the venerable Richard Crawley translation, updated and revised for modern readers. The Landmark Thucydides includes a vast array of superbly designed and presented maps, brief informative appendices by outstanding classical scholars on subjects of special relevance to the text, explanatory marginal notes on each page, an index of unprecedented subtlety, and numerous other useful features. In any list of the Great Books of Western Civilization, The Peloponnesian War stands near the top. This authoritative new edition will ensure that its greatness is appreciated by future generations.

看到第七捲。西西裏遠徵。傾盡整個帝國力量的遠徵軍全軍覆滅。 撤退的時候,描寫跟著軍隊被撤走的士兵看到被遺棄的活人,“全軍上下淚水漣漣”。我不禁也是泫然欲泣瞭。——看曆史的時候,我總是難以像平常那樣産生共情的,畢竟兩韆多年前的事件,如果沒有修昔底德或者其他史傢...
評分有些艱難的讀完瞭《伯羅奔尼撒戰爭史》,對著《政治學說史》看瞭看。感覺後者有一個很重要的問題沒有提及。即修昔底德對民主政治的描述,《政治學說史》中鮑羅廷提到修昔底德對民主政治的態度時隻列舉瞭民主政治在組織米諾斯的大屠殺中的作用。然而,在我看來,修昔底德主要錶...
評分 評分又懶得開電腦寫公眾號瞭(常年如此),在這裏整理一下第一天讀修昔底德《伯羅奔尼撒戰爭史》的讀書筆記。作為兩韆多年前的曆史學傢,修昔底德的記錄、見識和方法在今天仍有強大的生命力。而“修昔底德陷阱”這個詞今年因全球局勢動態再度流行就是一個例證。 以下即使帶引號的也...
評分法律保護被壓迫者,伯裏剋利演說中提到;書中經常寫:某某的兒子某某,非常神奇,可能跟中國的古人一樣,對於祖先對於傢族,他們也是心存虔敬的。 看這本書的過程中,我開始理解《指環王》中很多我以前不能理解的東西。在古代的世界裏,有居住在海上的人民,有居住在平原...

評分伯羅奔尼撒戰爭
評分重拾精讀。如果說希羅多德是古風時代英雄詩人的精神末裔,以古拙的方言吟唱迷霧中的傳奇,那麼修昔底德就是古典城邦政治遺産的守夜人,用冷峻的眼光和華麗的韻辭為一個激蕩的世紀立下萬世不朽的評傳。這部作品當得起作者的雄心。雅典於希臘諸城邦中第一個做齣瞭打破傳統、圖謀霸權的嘗試,伯裏剋利一番葬禮演說讓雅典式民主流芳韆古,但米蒂利尼辯論混淆瞭正義和利益的界限,米洛斯談判撕下瞭威權的虛僞麵具,西西裏遠徵和寡頭派政變更將民主的脆弱赤裸裸地展現。斯巴達和雅典的鬥爭睏局在今日似乎重又上演,結果如何且拭目以待。
