This is the third and final volume (Vol. I 1991, Vol. II 1996) of a
historical and literary commentary on the history of the first 20
years of the twenty-seven-year 'Peloponnesian War' (between the
Athenians and Spartans and their respective allies) written by the
great fifth-century BC historian Thucydides. The present volume of
commentary covers the ten closely-narrated years 421-411 BC, and
nearly half of the total of eight 'books' (subdivisions) of
Thucydides' work. It includes one of the most famous sections of
ancient Greek literary writing, the lengthy and supremely dramatic
account of the disastrous Athenian expedition against Sicily
(415-413) in Books 6 and 7; but also the Melian Dialogue (Book 5),
a notorious document of Athenian imperialism; and the account of
the oligarchic revolution at Athens in 411 (Book 8). All Greek is
translated. There is a thematic General Introduction and two
Appendixes.
