A Commentary on Thucydides: Volume III: Books 5.25-8.109

Autor Simon Hornblower
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 11 noi 2010
This is the third and final volume (Vol. I 1991, Vol. II 1996) of a historical and literary commentary on the history of the first 20 years of the twenty-seven-year 'Peloponnesian War' (between the Athenians and Spartans and their respective allies) written by the great fifth-century BC historian Thucydides. The present volume of commentary covers the ten closely-narrated years 421-411 BC, and nearly half of the total of eight 'books' (subdivisions) of Thucydides' work. It includes one of the most famous sections of ancient Greek literary writing, the lengthy and supremely dramatic account of the disastrous Athenian expedition against Sicily (415-413) in Books 6 and 7; but also the Melian Dialogue (Book 5), a notorious document of Athenian imperialism; and the account of the oligarchic revolution at Athens in 411 (Book 8). All Greek is translated. There is a thematic General Introduction and two Appendixes.

Recenzii

Hornblower's erudition is immense and illuminating, he's not afraid to use his imagination, and the political no less than the academic world will be in his debt for generations. That is no small achievement.
The effort [Hornblower] has put into explicating Thucydides' text is monumental, and the historian is fortunate to have found a commentator of such devotion.
This immensely learned tome represents a fine and weighty ... summation of Hornblower's I^magnum opus
