The History of the Peloponnesian War By Thucydides Book II, Pericles' Funeral Oration In the same winter the Athenians gave a funeral at the public cost to those who had first fallen in this war. It was a custom of their ancestors, and the manner of it is as follows. Three days before the ceremony, the bones of the dead are laid out in a tent which has been erected; and their friends bring to their relatives such offerings as they please. In the funeral procession cypress coffins are borne in cars, one for each tribe; the bones of the deceased being placed in the coffin of their tribe. Among these is carried one empty bier decked for the missing, that is, for those whose bodies could not be recovered. Any citizen or stranger who pleases, joins in the procession: and the female relatives are there to wail at the burial. The dead are laid in the public sepulchre in the Beautiful suburb of the city, in which those who fall in war are always buried; with the exception of those slain at Marathon, who for their singular and extraordinary valour were interred on the spot where they fell. After the bodies have

431 BC HISTORY OF THE PELOPONNESIAN WAR by Thucydides CHAPTER XVII. Sixteenth Year of the War - The Melian Conference - Fate of Melos Athenians . Since the negotiations are not to go on before the people, in order that we may not be able to speak straight on without interruption, and deceive the ears of the multitude by seductive arguments which would pass without refutation (for we know that this is the meaning of our being brought before the few), what if you who sit there were to pursue a method more cautious still? Make no set speech yourselves, but take us up at whatever you do not like, and settle that before going any farther. And first tell us if this proposition of ours suits you. The Melian commissioners answered: Melians . To the fairness of quietly instructing each other as you propose there is nothing to object; but your military preparations are too far advanced to agree with what you say, as we see you are come to be judges in your own cause, and that all we can reasonably expect from this negotiation is war, if we prove to have right on our side and refuse to submit, and in the contrary case, slavery. Athenians . If you have met to reason about presentiments of the future, or for anything else than to consult for the safety of your state upon the facts that you see before you, we will give over; otherwise we will go on.

Tax Law History of the Peloponnesian War is an account of the battles, conflicts, and politics of the Peloponnesian War , fought between the Peloponnesian League (led by Sparta ) and the Delian League (led by Athens ), written by an Athenian general who served in the war, Thucydides . It is widely considered a classic and regarded as one of the earliest scholarly works of history Thucydides' History begins almost exactly where Herodotus Histories leaves off. Unlike Herodotus, who openly admitted to recounting popular beliefs in cases when evidence was lacking or insufficient, Thucydides aimed to provide an accurate and detailed account, thoroughly citing his sources whenever he could not provide a first-hand account. Additionally, the gods play no role in Thucydides' work, unlike the many appearances they make in the writings of Herodotus (and their near ubiquity in Homer's work).

Sumer Site Navigation THUCYDIDES (ca 450-400 BCE.) BIOGRAPHY Thucydides was an Athenian who lived during the mid-to-late-fifth century BC. As a historian, Thucydides is famous for writing about the history of the Peloponnesian War, which took place during his lifetime. Before the onset of the Peloponnesian War, ancient Greece was an epicenter of great military, intellectual, cultural and political development; it was also a time of questioning and reexamination of religious and traditional beliefs. The 440s B.C. and the 430s B.C. are known as the height of the Athenian Empire. It is the war that Thucydides describes that brings the empire to an end. Thucydides is often compared to Herodotus , who wrote about the Persian Wars, which took place in the early fifth century BC. According to modern writers, there are three debts Thucydides owes to Herodotus and several differences between the two writing styles. Section Navigation Site Navigation Send mail to L.C.Geerts

CONTACT William Smith, A Smaller History of [Ancient] Greece CHAPTER IX From the end of the Persian Wars to the beginning of the Peloponnesian War, B.C. 479-431 Having thus secured the city from all danger of an immediate attack, Themistocles pursued his favourite project of rendering Athens the greatest maritime and commercial power of Greece. He erected a town round the harbour of Piraeus, distant between four and five miles from Athens, and enclosed it with a wall as large in extent as the city itself, but of vastly greater height and thickness. Meanwhile an event occurred which secured more firmly than ever the maritime supremacy of Athens, by transferring to her the command of the allied fleet. In the year after the battle of Plataea a fleet had been fitted out and placed under the command of the Spartan regent, Pausanias, in order to carry on the war against the Persians. After delivering most of the Grecian towns in Cyprus from the Persians, this armament sailed up the Bosporus and laid siege to Byzantium, which was garrisoned by a large Persian force. The town surrendered after a protracted siege; but it was during this expedition that the conduct of the Spartan commander struck a fatal blow at the interests of his country. This event was not a mere empty question about a point of honour. It was a real revolution, terminated by a solemn league, of which Athens was to be the head. Aristides took the lead in the matter, for which his proverbial justice and probity eminently qualified him. The league obtained the name of "the Confederacy of Delos," from its being arranged that deputies of the allies belonging to it should meet periodically for deliberation in the temple of Apollo and Artemis (Diana) in that island. Each state was assessed in a certain contribution, either of money or ships, as proposed by the Athenians and ratified by the synod. The assessment was intrusted to Aristides, whose impartiality was universally applauded. Of the details, however, we only know that the first assessment amounted to 460 talents (about 106,000L sterling), that certain officers called Hellenotamiae were appointed by the Athenians to collect and administer the contributions, and that Delos was the treasury.

CONTACT William Smith, A Smaller History of [Ancient] Greece CHAPTER XI The Peloponnesian War. - First Period, from the commencement of the War to the Peace of Nicias, B.C. 431-421 Such were the results of the first campaign. From the method in which the war was conducted it had become pretty evident that it would prove of long duration; and the Athenians now proceeded to provide for this contingency. It was agreed that a reserve fund of 1000 talents should be set apart, which was not to be touched in any other case than an attack upon Athens by sea. Any citizen who proposed to make a different use of the fund incurred thereby the punishment of death. With the same view it was resolved to reserve every year 100 of their best triremes, fully manned and equipped. Towards the winter Pericles delivered, from a lofty platform erected in the Ceramicus, the funeral oration of those who had fallen in the war. This speech, or at all events the substance of it, has been preserved by Thucydides, who may possibly have heard it pronounced. It is a valuable monument of eloquence and patriotism, and particularly interesting for the sketch which it contains of Athenian manners as well as of the Athenian constitution. But he was not destined long to enjoy this return of popularity. His life was now closing in, and its end was clouded by a long train of domestic misfortunes. The epidemic deprived him not only of many personal and political friends, but also of several near relations, amongst whom were his sister and his two legitimate sons Xanthippus and Paralus. The death of the latter was a severe blow to him. During the funeral ceremonies, as he placed a garland on the body of this his favourite son, he was completely overpowered by his feelings and wept aloud. His ancient house was now left without an heir. By Aspasia, however, he had an illegitimate son who bore his own name, and whom the Athenians now legitimised and thus alleviated, as far as lay in their power, the misfortunes of their great leader.

Miss Megan Wilde | The Website | Essays | Tragedy And History Of Peloponnesian W In The history of the peloponnesian war, Thucydides builds upon these similarities between history and tragedy by employing the central structural elements http://www.wildewildeweb.com/personal/schoolessays/thucydides.html

home about essays work ... links Tragedy and The History of the Peloponnesian War Fall 01 by Megan Wilde History and tragedy have much in common. History is a record of "human action and life and happiness and misery" (Aristotle 6.49), a description Aristotle uses to characterize tragedy. Looking back through history, one knows what events will transpire, just as an audience viewing a tragedy already knows the outcome. The pleasure that arises from a tragedy is in many ways the same pleasure that comes from a history. In The History of the Peloponnesian War, Thucydides builds upon these similarities between history and tragedy by employing the central structural elements of tragedy - reversal, miscalculation, suffering, and recognition. In doing so, he creates a poetic work that not only documents a great historical event but also reveals larger truths about the human condition. A primary feature of tragedy is that the stories are already well known by the audience. The events of a tragedy are already determined. In Oedipus Rex, the audience already knows that Oedipus killed his father and married his mother. In Hippolytus, the audience is aware of Phaedra's and Hippolytus's unhappy fates. In a history, the events are also already determined and known. A reader of The History of the Peloponnesian War already knew that the Lacedaemonians were victorious and that Athens suffered a dismal loss.

In his speech, Pericles honored the Athenians who had been first to die in the Peloponnesian War, a destructive war begun that same year between confederacies headed by Athens and by Sparta.

What better way to express the lessons of life that history encompasses than via the medium of epic poetry? This is what the ancient Greeks thought when considering Homer's Iliad (Knox 23). Indeed, even in the work of the seminal Greek historian Thucydides, credited by contemporary historians with "sweep[ing] myth away from old stories" (Woodruff ix), the comparison is made that his History of the Peloponnesian War bears strong resemblance to creations of the "tragic poets" (Woodruff ix). Taking the Greek orientation to history and epic poetry as a starting point, then, it is not a difficult stretch of the imagination to consider this proposition: What Athens was to the Peloponnesian War, Achilles was in The Iliad. Homer is.."
