This edition presents Thucydides' Book VI, meticulously edited from Bekker's text and accompanied by detailed notes by P. Frost. Thucydides, one of history's foremost historians, offers invaluable insights into the Peloponnesian War and the complexities of ancient Greek politics and society. Book VI delves into the Sicilian Expedition, a pivotal moment in the war that reveals the ambitions, miscalculations, and ultimate consequences of Athenian imperialism.
Frost's notes provide essential context, linguistic analysis, and historical commentary, making this edition accessible to both students and scholars. Readers will gain a deeper understanding of Thucydides' narrative style, his exploration of themes such as power, justice, and human nature, and the enduring relevance of his work to understanding conflict and international relations. This volume is an essential resource for anyone studying ancient history, classical literature, or the art of historical writing.
