The History of the Peloponnesian War

The History of the Peloponnesian War

By Thucydides Ancient History 04/08/2025

Written by the Athenian general and historian Thucydides, The History of the Peloponnesian War recounts the 27-year struggle (431–404 BCE) between the Athenian empire and the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta. A masterwork of political and military history, it presents a meticulously researched, eyewitness account of battles, sieges, alliances, and betrayals, as well as vivid portraits of key figures such as Pericles and Alcibiades. Thucydides departs from the mythic style of his predecessors, grounding his narrative in factual accuracy, critical inquiry, and timeless reflections on power, ambition, and the fragility of civilization.
