Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book describes the Peloponnesian War, fought between the Peloponnesian League and The Delian League led by Athens. The war lasted for 27 years, and Thucydides, an active participant in the war, chronicles the war, its causes, and its aftermath, up until the year 411 BC in considerable depth. The first book of the eight-volume work comprises 235 chapters, setting out the background and the events leading to this conflict between the two prominent powers in Greece in the 5th century BC. Thucydides provides a dispassionate account of the period, thereby establishing a foundation for the study of scientific history. This book, then, should be of interest to anyone seeking an understanding of one of the most important conflicts of the ancient world, described by an eyewitness.
