by Thucydides

Thucydides' *Histories* is a seminal work of ancient Greek historiography, focusing on the first 20 years of the Peloponnesian War, a devastating conflict between Athens and Sparta. The work goes beyond a mere chronicle of events, offering insightful analyses of the causes, motivations, and consequences of the war. Thucydides, a general who participated in the war, provides a nuanced and often chilling account of the conflict, exploring themes of power, ambition, political intrigue, and the complexities of human nature. His work remains a vital resource for understanding not only the history of Ancient Greece but also the enduring nature of war and its impact on societies.
