Description: The enduring account of the clash between two great powers.

"My work is not a piece of writing designed to meet the taste of an immediate public, but was done to last for ever."

Written four hundred years before the birth of Christ, this detailed contemporary account of the struggle between Athens and Sparta stands an excellent chance of fulfilling the author's ambitious claim that the work "was done to last forever." The conflicts between the two empires over shipping, trade, and colonial expansion came to a head in 431 B.C. in Northern Greece, and the entire Greek world was plunged into twenty-seven years of war. Thucydides applied a passion for accuracy and a contempt for myth and romance in compiling this exhaustively factual record of the disastrous conflict that eventually ended the Athenian empire.

"Arguably the greatest historical work of classical times."
--Steven Weinberg, University of Texas
