'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.

評分其實拿這麼一本嚴肅的書耍流氓真的不是我的本意……但是修昔底德實在是太給大傢麵子瞭。 OK,基佬和女流氓們,既然你們已經來瞭,請翻開《伯羅奔尼撒戰爭史》下本的第517頁,也就是第六捲的第五章,從最後一段,也就是露著小雞雞的哈摩狄阿斯和阿裏斯托齋吞的那副圖片左下角開...

評分still good, but it seems that this is not the best translated version

評分文字比landmark好讀。此刻隻想寫完論文,但總覺得會寫齣一個似是而非東西,畢竟讀不懂希臘語總是隔靴搔癢..
