This volume presents a complete English translation of Thucydides' account of the Peloponnesian War, a foundational text in the study of history and political science. Thucydides meticulously chronicles the decades-long conflict between Athens and Sparta, offering insights into the strategies, alliances, and human costs of war. His work is celebrated for its objectivity, analysis of power dynamics, and exploration of the moral dimensions of political decisions.

Included with the translation is an essay on inscriptions relevant to Thucydides' work and a note on the geography of the regions discussed, providing valuable context for modern readers. "Thucydides" remains an essential resource for understanding ancient Greece and the enduring lessons of its history.
