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 the 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. Written centuries before the rise of modern historiography, Thucydides' narrative is not continuous or linear. His authoritative chronicle of what he considered the greatest war of all time is rigorous and meticulous, yet omits the many aids to comprehension modern readers take for granted -- such as brief biographies of the story's main characters, maps and other visual enhancements, and background on the military, cultural, and political traditions of ancient Greece. Robert Strassler's new edition amends these omissions, and not only provides a new coherence to the narrative overall but effectively reconstructs 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 depth, and numerous other useful features. Readers will find that with this edition they can dip into the text at any point and be immediately oriented with regard to the geography, season, date, and stage of the conflict. In any list of the Great Books of Western Civilization, The Peloponnesian War stands near the top. This handsome, elegant, and authoritative new edition will ensure that its greatness is appreciated by future generations.
记得我初中作为一个军宅的时候,对希腊重装步兵战术不屑一顾。没有纵深,对投射武器毫无办法,所谓的骑士毫无战斗力。即使是前五世纪,装备短兵器和复合弓的骑兵也能屠杀他们。这学期几本书读下来,发现这种重步兵三排方阵的战术,能最大程度的弱化个人战力,而比较军队整体的战斗意志。这才是光荣雅典
评分西方最重要的政治史/戰爭史經典。修昔底德是嚴厲的導師,不費心苦讀是學不到東西的。此書最優越處在於詳盡的地圖,讀者在史事中不至迷惘於地理,且使用 Crawley 維多利亞風格的優美英譯 - 雖非理想但可讀性高。能傳達修昔底德冷硬不妥協風格的英譯非霍布斯(Thomas Hobbes)莫屬。
