The Structure of Thucydides' History

En savoir plus sur le livre

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 offers fresh insights into the complexities of the war's timeline and Thucydides' narrative techniques.
