The Structure of Thucydides' History

Más información sobre el libro

Hunter Rawlings presents a provocative analysis of Thucydides' history of the Peloponnesian War, arguing that the author intentionally structured the narrative into two distinct ten-year conflicts, separated by a brief period of nominal peace. This interpretation challenges traditional views and invites readers to reconsider the complexities of Thucydides' work, shedding light on the strategic and thematic elements of the war's depiction.
