Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thucydides and the History of His Age IT is only fair to any one who may read any part of this book that he should be enlightened beforehand as to the origin of certain peculiarities which will be found in it. It presents the history of the fifth century before Christ under a somewhat novel aspect, in that it depicts the Greeks generally, and the Athenians in particular, as moving in a material rather than an ideal world. I have sought to get at the reality of life as it was lived by the mass of the Hellenes of two thousand years ago, - the men whose con dition, passions, and emotions made the political, as distinct from the intellectual, history of their race. When first I formed this idea of composing a historical edition of Thucydides, I had no intention of presenting Greek history under this aspect, though I was quite aware from my experience of those persistent inquirers, my Oxford pupils, that there was much in it, as commonly represented, for which it was not possible to provide a satisfactory explanation. In point of fact, I had no idea as to where the explanation lay. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories From Thucydides N a former volume we have traced the course I of events which ended in the complete over throw of Xerxes and his great army. Our present task is to describe the chief incidents in the cruel and devastating war, commonly known as the Peloponnesian War, which lasted for twenty-seven years, and finally broke up the Athenian Empire. The cause of that war was the env and hatred excited in the other states of Greece by t e power and greatness of Athens and in order to make our story intelligible we must indicate briefly the steps by which she rose to that dangerous eminence, and drew u n herself the armed ho-: ility of half the Greek wor d.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thucydides and History Herodotus breaks out to record his personal dissent from the ntild and abstract proposition of some contemporary Darwin that man is only an animal and need not he more careful of his behaviour in temples and holy places than animals are seen to be. The proposition is displeasing to me he tells us: Thucydides will not let his personal disgust he seen even when infants are butchered. It seems to be beneath the dignity of history: to be an unworthy concession to popular feeling and superficial sentiment, to be a playing to the gallery and the ground lings.
