'The greatest historian that ever lived' Such was Macaulay's verdict on Thucydides (c. 460-400 BC) and his history of the Peloponnesian War, the momentous struggle between Athens and Sparta as rival powers and political systems that lasted for twenty-seven years from 431 to 404 BC, involved virtually the whole of the Greek world, and ended in the fall of Athens. Thucydides himself was a participant in the war; to his history he brings an awesome intellect, brilliant narrative, and penetrating analysis of the nature of power, as it affects both states and individuals. Of his own work Thucydides wrote: 'I shall be content if [my history] is judged useful by those who will want to have a clear understanding of what happened - and, such is the human condition, will happen again ...It was composed as a permanent legacy, not a showpiece for a single hearing.' So it has proved. Of the prose writers of Greece and Rome Thucydides has had more lasting influence on western thought than all but Plato and Aristotle. This new edition combines a masterly translation with comprehensive supporting material.

看到第七卷。西西里远征。倾尽整个帝国力量的远征军全军覆灭。 撤退的时候,描写跟着军队被撤走的士兵看到被遗弃的活人,“全军上下泪水涟涟”。我不禁也是泫然欲泣了。——看历史的时候,我总是难以像平常那样产生共情的,毕竟两千多年前的事件,如果没有修昔底德或者其他史家...
評分(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...
評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...

評分在大学第一学期的《外交学概论》课上,老师说学这个你们读好三本书就行了,修昔底德的《伯罗奔尼撒战争史》,汉斯摩根索的《国家间政治》和肯尼斯沃尔斯的《人、国家与战争》。当时不知所然,也没想过找来读读。直到今天才算都翻过了,还不敢说读过。 而真正激发我读...
非常優秀的英譯本,以1942年Powell修訂過的Jones校勘本為底本,比洛布依據的Hude本善,略遜於同樣基於Jones但是參瞭不少Alberti本的Mynott本。序言不僅簡明扼要地介紹瞭修昔底德的寫作風格、史學價值與影響,以及修昔底德的接受史,還涉及瞭不少相關學術動態。譯文比Crawley和Warner準確,理解起來也不算睏難。尾注沒Mynott詳細但也還能接受。就是沒有保留Section編碼這點emmm。
评分文字比landmark好讀。此刻隻想寫完論文,但總覺得會寫齣一個似是而非東西,畢竟讀不懂希臘語總是隔靴搔癢..

评分still good, but it seems that this is not the best translated version
