The Classical Origins of Western Culture The Core Studies 1 Study Guide by Roger Dunkle Brooklyn College Core Curriculum Series THE PELOPONNESIAN WAR Genre - History What we refer to as myth or legend was considered historical fact by most Greeks down into and even beyond the fifth century B.C. For example, the Homeric poems were taken seriously as an historical record of the past. Indeed, as modern archaeology has shown, there is a kernel of historical truth in the Iliad that is, a war did take place at the site of Troy in approximately the same period as was assigned to it by legend. Nevertheless, it is clear that the overall account of the Trojan war in the Iliad is the result of imaginative embellishment of a story told again and again by generations of poets. It was not until more than two centuries after the composition of the Homeric poems that a more scientific form of history developed. Rational analysis, which had begun in Ionia with the Milesian philosophers with reference to the universe, gradually extended to include the recording of human events. Historie , the Greek word from which our word "history" is derived, means `inquiry' and indicates the nature of this new way of dealing with the past. The recording of human events is no longer the uncritical retelling of traditional myths and legends, but an account which is the result of critical evaluation applied to what the author himself and others have seen and heard.

Thoughtful well chosen words Cons People had the same virtues and vices then as they do now. The Bottom Line Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War is an essential book for all persons who wish to be well educated. Provides thought provoking material for many disciplines. Full Review History of the Peloponnesian War, by Thucydides Why should anybody want to read a 2,500 year-old book about a far off place with names that are difficult to pronounce? Well, a couple of reasons spring to mind: First, that a book written four centuries before Christ still exists is an endorsement that the material is important - Somebody had to think enough of the text to keep copies through all the intervening centuries. Remember, until recent years books were hand produced and very costly. Thucydides has stood the test of time.

I'm only about a quarter of the way in, still in the escalation to war between Sparta and Athens, the alliance and superpower, respectively, of their day, and page after page have played out in the news.

Owens Donald Kagan, The Peloponnesian War (New York: Viking, 2003), 511 pp. It was Alfred North Whitehead who said that all Western philosophy is but a footnote to Plato. The same can be said about the Greek historian Thucydides and the study of international relations. As Robert Gilpin, author of many books on international relations theory, writes in War and Change in World Politics , "In honesty, one must inquire whether or not twentieth-century students of international relations know anything that Thucydides and his fifth-century B.C. compatriots did not know about the behavior of states." He concludes that it is hard to find any contemporary issue of statecraft and foreign relations that does not have an antecedent in Thucydides’ magisterial account of the Peloponnesian War. Indeed, the Peloponnesian War features everything one finds in modern international relations theory and practice: "international anarchy," the condition in which political entities (

69. History As Tragedy: The Peloponnesian War: Archive Entry From Brad DeLong's Webj The man wrote a 4volume scholarly history of the peloponnesian war, for goodness sake. Does Mendelsohn have the credentials to make the sort of criticisms http://www.j-bradford-delong.net/movable_type/2003_archives/002995.html

Semi-Daily Journal The Semi-Daily Journal of Economist Brad DeLong: Fair and Balanced Almost Every Day Main January 06, 2004 History as Tragedy: The Peloponnesian War The Thirteen-Year-Old got Donald Kagan 's (2003) Peloponnesian War (one volume) for Christmas. Now I find that the New Yorker's Daniel Mendelsohn doesn't think much of it: Daniel Mendelsohn: Critic at Large: Kagan... informs us that... he wants his work to "meet the needs of readers in the 21st century"... "an uninterrupted account will better allow readers to draw their own conclusions." Uninterrupted, yes, but not unbiased... you tend to come away from his history with an entirely different view of the war than the one you take away from Thucydides.... The only way to do this, unfortunately, is [for Kagan] to flatten Thucydides's presentation of the Peloponnesian War, stripping away the many voices and points of view that [Thucydides] worked so hard to include.... Thucydides tends to be shy about overtly intruding.. not so Kagan. This is most apparent in [Kagan's] revisionist championing of Cleon and other Athenian hawks, whose policies he consistently presents as the only reasonable choice. "It is tempting to blame Cleon for the breaking off of the negotiations," goes a typical bit of rhetorical strong-arming. "But what, realistically, could have been achieved?" Anyone who hasn't read Thucydides will be inclined to agree. [Thucydides's own] explanation of the Athenians' distaste for peace was that "they were greedy for more."

Back to People With a History Thucydides: On Aristogeiton and Harmodius, from The History of the Peloponnesian War , 6th. Book Written ca. 431 B.C. Translated by Richard Crawley During the Peloponnesian War, an group of vandals went around Athens knocking the phalluses off Hermes - the steles with the head and phallus of the God Hermes which were often outside houses. This incident, which lead to suspicions of the Athenian general Alciabiades, provided Thucydided with a spring board to recount the story of Harmodius and Aristogeiton, two homosexual lovers credited by the Athenians with overthrowing tyranny. Pisistratus, the son of Hippias, Sent up this record of his archonship In precinct of Apollo Pythias. At last the festival arrived; and Hippias with his bodyguard was outside the city in the Ceramicus, arranging how the different parts of the procession were to proceed. Harmodius and Aristogiton had already their daggers and were getting ready to act, when seeing one of their accomplices talking familiarly with Hippias, who was easy of access to every one, they took fright, and concluded that they were discovered and on the point of being taken; and eager if possible to be revenged first upon the man who had wronged them and for whom they had undertaken all this risk, they rushed, as they were, within the gates, and meeting with Hipparchus by the Leocorium recklessly fell upon him at once, infuriated, Aristogiton by love, and Harmodius by insult, and smote him and slew him. Aristogiton escaped the guards at the moment, through the crowd running up, but was afterwards taken and dispatched in no merciful way: Harmodius was killed on the spot.

Finley - Introduction Book: Paperback 'My work is not a piece of writing designed to meet the taste of an immediate public, but was done to last for ever.' Written four hundred years before the birth of Christ, this detailed contemporary account of the long life-and-death struggle between Athens and Sparta stands an excellent chance of fulfilling its author's ambitious claim. Thucydides himself (c.460-400 BC) was an Athenian and achieved the rank of general in the earlier stages of the war. He applied thereafter a passion for accuracy and a contempt for myth and romance in compiling this factual record of a disastrous conflict.

Only a half-century before its outbreak the united Greeks, led by Sparta and Athens, had fought off an assault by the mighty Persian Empire, preserving their independence by driving Persia's armies and navies out of Europe and recovering the Greek cities on the coasts of Asia Minor from its grasp. The Peloponnesian War not only brought this remarkable period to an end, but was recognized as a critical turning point even by those who fought it. The great historian Thucydides tells us that he undertook his history as the war began, in the belief that it would be great and noteworthy above all the wars that had gone before, inferring this from the fact that both powers were then at their best in preparedness for war in every way, and seeing the rest of the Hellenic people taking sides with one side or the other, some at once, others planning to do so. For this was the greatest upheaval that had ever shaken the Hellenes, extending also to some part of the barbarians, one might say even to a very large part of mankind.
