Thucydides called his account of two decades of war between Athens and Sparta "a possession for all time," and indeed it is the first and still most famous work in the Western historical tradition. Considered essential reading for generals, statesmen, and liberally educated citizens for more than 2,000 years, The Peloponnesian War is a mine of military, moral, political, and philosophical wisdom. However, this classic book has long presented obstacles to the uninitiated reader. Robert Strassler's new edition removes these obstacles by providing a new coherence to the narrative overall, and by effectively reconstructing the lost cultural context that Thucydides shared with his original audience. Based on the venerable Richard Crawley translation, updated and revised for modern readers. The Landmark Thucydides includes a vast array of superbly designed and presented maps, brief informative appendices by outstanding classical scholars on subjects of special relevance to the text, explanatory marginal notes on each page, an index of unprecedented subtlety, and numerous other useful features. In any list of the Great Books of Western Civilization, The Peloponnesian War stands near the top. This authoritative new edition will ensure that its greatness is appreciated by future generations.

图挺多的，偶尔也比较有帮助，翻译质量不高，和希腊文原文差距太大。

"I have written my work, not as an essay which is to win the applause of the moment, but as a possession for all time." 原文和版本都可以给十星了。

Western pol thought I教材，读的真的要死了但是能支离破碎地感受到文辞之美。这本书让我对雅典的印象改变了很多，怪不得 plato会觉得democracy不算一种好制度。Percicles的两次演说与Nicias的撤退很有冲击

十年后终于读了可以一一对应地图的英文版，版本可以打五星。Crawley的演讲翻译说是深得演讲学的精髓，但是不太好读

上个月节选看完了，记得最后一节seminar最后半个小时大家一直在聊what is true liberty，让人想起来上学期读herodotus好像也有类似的conversation
