Excerpt from Notes on Thucydides: Original and Compiled
One help towards overcoming the difficulty might perhaps be found, if competent persons were to collect, within moderate compass, so much matter bearing upon the various works, or portions of works, taken up for examination, as would afford a reasonable amount of incidental information, and at the same time convey an adequate notion of the way in which these subjects have been treated by the great masters of classical criticism.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of Thucydides, an influential historian of the Peloponnesian War. The author notes that, while Thucydides had great impact as a historian, there are many misconceptions about his work circulated by later commentators. To challenge these misconceptions, the author provides insights into his writing style, historical biases, and the interplay between his work and that of other Greek historians. This book is groundbreaking in its wide-ranging examination of Thucydides' contributions to the study of history, notably his role in establishing the importance of understanding human nature as a driver of historical events.
