The bitter rivalry between the two chief city-states, Athens and Sparta, and their respective allies ended with the ruin of Athens' naval hegemony and what the Greek historian Thucydides (ca. 460-400 b.c.e.) called a \"convulsion\" affecting all humankind.Thucydides recreates the often savage events of the war and brings to life its chief protagonists: Pericles, Nicias, Cleon, Alcibiades, and others. The first of the \"scientific\" historians, Thucydides makes use of documentary material and relies on eyewitness accounts; even where direct documentary evidence is lacking, his keen understanding of human nature helps him to uncover the truth of what actually happened.","brand":"Prometheus","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47215978119423,"sku":"9781573922166","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/Jacket_cf54d974-db0f-40c1-9f03-65967a6d8fc7.jpg?v=1772040811","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/products\/9781573922166","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
