Riassunto

Badian (history, Harvard) has revised five previous essays and written a sixth to explore the crucial but little documented half century of Greek history between the Persian and Peloponnesian Wars. Among the questions he addresses are the interwar relations between Athens and Persia, and the supposed impartiality of Thucydides on the outbreak of the Peloponnesian War.

Recensione:

"Badian not only attempts to reconstruct the often intractable history of this period, but he also provides the reader with important guidelines on how to read Thucydides' crucial narrative on the Pentecontaetia... The whole book is a delight for anyone with an interest in antiquity, as it shows Badian doing what he does best, namely, utilizing the ancient sources by asking questions of them that had not been asked before." -- New England Classical Newsletter and Journal
