  • 一场终结了雅典的古典时代和希腊的民主时代的战争。

    Written four hundred years before the birth of Christ, this detailed contemporary account of the struggle between Athens and Sparta stands an excellent chance of fulfilling the author's ambitious claim that the work "was done to last forever." The conflicts between the two empires over shipping, trade, and colonial expansion came to a head in 431 b.c. in Northern Greece, and the entire Greek world was plunged into 27 years of war. Thucydides applied a passion for accuracy and a contempt for myth and romance in compiling this exhaustively factual record of the disastrous conflict that eventually ended the Athenian empire.

  • 内容简介
  • 《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》讲述了伯罗奔尼撒战争是以雅典为首的提洛同盟与以斯巴达为首的伯罗奔尼撒联盟之间的一场战争,几乎涉及了当时整个希腊世界。作为战争的亲历者,修昔底德详细地记录了伯罗奔尼撒战争事件,并分析了这场战争的原因和背景。

    Thucydides believed that the Peloponnesian War represented an event of unmatched importance.As such, he began to write the History at the onset of the war in 431. His intention was to write an account which would serve as "a possession for all time".The history breaks off near the end of the 21st year of the war and does not elaborate on the final conflicts of the war. This facet of the work suggests that Thucydides died whilst writing his history and more so, that his death was unexpected.

  • 作者简介
  • 修昔底德(希腊文Θουκυδίδης 、英文Thucydides,约公元前460--公元前400/396年),雅典人,古希腊历史学家、文学家和雅典十将军之一,以其所著《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》而在西方史学史上占有重要地位。

    Thucydides ( c. 460 – c. 400 BC) was an Athenian historian and general. His History of the Peloponnesian War recounts the 5th-century BC war between Sparta and Athens until the year 411 BC. Thucydides has been dubbed the father of "scientific history" by those who accept his claims to have applied strict standards of impartiality and evidence-gathering and analysis of cause and effect, without reference to intervention by the gods, as outlined in his introduction to his work.
