Description
Book SynopsisThis edition of Thucydides’
History Book II provides an introduction, Greek text with facing translation, and a commentary that caters for both specialists and readers with little or no Greek. Matters of text and language are discussed where necessary, but the emphasis is on the Archidamian War and Thucydides’ treatment of this subject.
Trade Review‘The work is of such high quality... meticulous scholarship and lucid un-fussy style... it will serve a very wide range of readers very well.’
