With this edition of Book I, P. J. Rhodes provides the 'prequel' to
his editions of Thucydides' books on the Archidamian War (II, III
and IV.1-V.24). As before, he provides an Introduction on
Thucydides' history and on the Peloponnesian War, a Greek text with
selective critical apparatus and facing translation, and a
commentary which will be useful both to specialists and to readers
with little or no Greek, and which assumes no previous acquaintance
with Thucydides. Matters of text and language are discussed where
necessary, but the emphasis is on Thucydides' subject-matter - the
Peloponnesian War presented as the greatest war in Greek history,
and accounts of the events directly leading to the war and of the
growth of Athenian power since the Persian Wars which explain why
this war between the two great powers of fifth-century Greece was
fought - and on the way in which he has treated it.
