Thucydides: Ancient Greek Historian

Library Binding (Compass Point Books Sept. 1, 2006)
Growing up wealthy in ancient Greece, Thucydides’ future was filled with promise. His prominent family ties led him into the respected position of an Athenian general. His life took an unfortunate turn after he lost in battle to a Spartan army and was forced to leave Athens. Thucydides used his unique situation to interview soldiers on both sides of the war and to write detailed accounts of battles as they happened. Thucydides’ dedication to accurately record the Peloponnesian War forever changed the way history is written.
