History of the Peloponnesian War

"This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice. An enduring masterpiece of historical writing by the ancient Greek historian Thucydides, translated by Richard Crawley. This seminal work, written in the 5th century BCE, chronicles the protracted conflict between Athens and Sparta—and their respective allies—that lasted from 431 to 404 BCE. Widely regarded as a cornerstone of classical literature and historiography, Thucydides’ account is notable for its meticulous attention to detail, critical analysis, and pioneering approach to the study of history. Thucydides was a contemporary of the events he described, having lived through the war and even participated as a general for Athens until he was exiled. His personal experiences, coupled with extensive research and interviews, lend a remarkable immediacy and depth to his narrative. Unlike his predecessor Herodotus, often called the 'Father of History,' Thucydides adopted a more empirical and analytical approach. Thucydides’ history examines several key themes that resonate through time: - The Nature of Power and Imperialism: A recurring theme is the relationship between power, politics, and morality. - Human Nature and Behavior in Crisis: Thucydides delves into how individuals and societies behave under the pressures of war, plague, and civil strife. - Realism and Political Analysis: The work is often regarded as a foundational text for the realist school of political thought. - The Fragility of Democracy: The Athenian democracy’s vulnerabilities are exposed throughout the narrative. Thucydides’ History of the Peloponnesian War is widely studied for its profound insights into the human condition and the nature of political power. It has influenced thinkers across centuries, including Machiavelli, Hobbes, and modern political scientists."

The History of the Peloponnesian War

"The History of the Peloponnesian War is a historical account of the Peloponnesian War (431–404 BC), which was fought between the Peloponnesian League (led by Sparta) and the Delian League (led by Athens). It was written by Thucydides, an Athenian historian who also served as an Athenian general during the war. His account of the conflict is widely considered to be a classic and regarded as one of the earliest scholarly works of history. The History is divided into eight books. Analyses of the History generally occur in one of two camps. On the one hand, some scholars such as J. B. Bury view the work as an objective and scientific piece of history. The judgment of Bury reflects this traditional interpretation of the History as 'severe in its detachment, written from a purely intellectual point of view, unencumbered with platitudes and moral judgments, cold and critical.' On the other hand, in keeping with more recent interpretations that are associated with reader-response criticism, the History can be read as a piece of literature rather than an objective record of the historical events. This view is embodied in the words of W. R. Connor, who describes Thucydides as 'an artist who responds to, selects and skillfully arranges his material, and develops its symbolic and emotional potential."

Thucydides (Author), Liam Johnson (Narrator)
