Πελοποννησιακός Πόλεμος, Τόμος τρίτος

by Thucydides

Translated by I. Zervos

"Πελοποννησιακός Πόλεμος, Τόμος τρίτος" by Thucydides is a historical account written during the 5th century BC. This work chronicles the devastating Peloponnesian War between Sparta's Peloponnesian League and Athens' Delian League. Written by an Athenian general who fought in the conflict, it employs rigorous chronology and includes dramatic speeches from military and political leaders. The unfinished narrative ends abruptly in 411 BC, leaving the war's conclusion untold. Regarded as one of history's earliest scholarly works, it presents human choices rather than divine intervention as the driving force of events.
