Thucydides called his account of two decades of war between Athens and Sparta "a possession for all time," and indeed it is the first and still most famous work in the Western historical tradition. Considered essential reading for generals, statesmen, and liberally educated citizens for more than 2,000 years, The Peloponnesian War is a mine of military, moral, political, and philosophical wisdom. However, this classic book has long presented obstacles to the uninitiated reader. Robert Strassler's new edition removes these obstacles by providing a new coherence to the narrative overall, and by effectively reconstructing the lost cultural context that Thucydides shared with his original audience. Based on the venerable Richard Crawley translation, updated and revised for modern readers. The Landmark Thucydides includes a vast array of superbly designed and presented maps, brief informative appendices by outstanding classical scholars on subjects of special relevance to the text, explanatory marginal notes on each page, an index of unprecedented subtlety, and numerous other useful features. In any list of the Great Books of Western Civilization, The Peloponnesian War stands near the top. This authoritative new edition will ensure that its greatness is appreciated by future generations.
(原载2012年4月号《文景》) 公元前431年,希腊世界爆发了一场规模空前的战争。战争在两大军事同盟之间展开,一边是以雅典为首的提洛同盟,另一边是以斯巴达为首的伯罗奔尼撒同盟。这两大军事同盟的历史至少要追溯到约半个世纪以前乃至更早。伯罗奔尼撒同盟是斯巴达在伯罗奔...
评分有些艰难的读完了《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》,对着《政治学说史》看了看。感觉后者有一个很重要的问题没有提及。即修昔底德对民主政治的描述,《政治学说史》中鲍罗廷提到修昔底德对民主政治的态度时只列举了民主政治在组织米诺斯的大屠杀中的作用。然而,在我看来,修昔底德主要表...

评分又懒得开电脑写公众号了(常年如此),在这里整理一下第一天读修昔底德《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》的读书笔记。作为两千多年前的历史学家,修昔底德的记录、见识和方法在今天仍有强大的生命力。而“修昔底德陷阱”这个词今年因全球局势动态再度流行就是一个例证。 以下即使带引号的也...
评分《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》第二卷第二章,叙述了战争刚刚开始的情况。当时双方尚未正式接战,斯巴达人和盟友们陈兵于科林斯地峡,派了一个叫米利西佩斯的人前往雅典,探寻对方在大兵压境的逼迫下是否有和谈的意愿。米利西佩斯来到雅典城外,见到了雅典的市民和官员,却被禁止进城。...

评分注释可以看这个版本。据任军锋老师说,目前最好的英译本是Jeremy Mynott翻译的Thucydides: The War of the Peloponnesians and the Athenians, Cambridge University Press 2013年出版
评分真业界良心。要是有一个这样的史记或左传读本就好了!
评分重拾精读。如果说希罗多德是古风时代英雄诗人的精神末裔,以古拙的方言吟唱迷雾中的传奇,那么修昔底德就是古典城邦政治遗产的守夜人,用冷峻的眼光和华丽的韵辞为一个激荡的世纪立下万世不朽的评传。这部作品当得起作者的雄心。雅典于希腊诸城邦中第一个做出了打破传统、图谋霸权的尝试,伯里克利一番葬礼演说让雅典式民主流芳千古,但米蒂利尼辩论混淆了正义和利益的界限,米洛斯谈判撕下了威权的虚伪面具,西西里远征和寡头派政变更将民主的脆弱赤裸裸地展现。斯巴达和雅典的斗争困局在今日似乎重又上演,结果如何且拭目以待。
