This powerful translation by Thomas Hobbes has long been considered
the truest to the original Greek. Hobbes's eloquent and lucid style
captures Thucydides' use of language in recreating the
Athens-Sparta conflict. It is Thucydides special ability to portray
and enliven that has provided us with the most revealing accounts
of the people and events in that long war: Pericles' funeral
oration, the plague, the civil war in Corcyra, the debate between
Cleon and Diodotus over the fate of Mitylene, the Melian Dialogue,
and above all the ruin of the Sicilian translations that are works
of art in their own right.
