This volume completes Simon Hornblower's most excellent commentary on Thucydides. It supplements and makes notable advances on the continuation of the work of A.W. Gomme, by A. Andrewes and K.J. Dover: A Historical Commentary on Thucydides. In the introduction to Volume II, Hornblower recognized the strengths of Gomme and stated his areas of difference, which were his desire to address an audience with less Greek and to focus more on matters of religion and narrative art; he noted also the availability of new research tools. In Volume III he recognizes the strengths of Andrewes and Dover as well, and he continues to pursue his difference; but another most obvious advance on all his predecessors is his lucid and judicious and fair-minded summary reviews of the vast scholarship that has appeared since their time.

This is the third and final volume (Vol. I 1991, Vol. II 1996) of a historical and literary commentary on the history of the first 20 years of the twenty-seven-year 'Peloponnesian War' (between the Athenians and Spartans and their respective allies) written by the great fifth-century BC historian Thucydides. The present volume of commentary covers the ten closely-narrated years 421-411 BC, and nearly half of the total of eight 'books' (subdivisions) of Thucydides' work. It includes one of the most famous sections of ancient Greek literary writing, the lengthy and supremely dramatic account of the disastrous Athenian expedition against Sicily (415-413) in Books 6 and 7; but also the Melian Dialogue (Book 5), a notorious document of Athenian imperialism; and the account of the oligarchic revolution at Athens in 411 (Book 8). All Greek is translated. There is a thematic General Introduction and two Appendixes. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |
