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.
有人说,一个国家在能够对外输出价值观之前不可能成为真正的大国。现代人往往赞叹雅典的民主政治与璀璨的文化,惋惜雅典为寡头政治下的斯巴达击败而未能将其光芒普及到全希腊。然而,真实的雅典帝国乃是建立于赤裸裸的暴力之上,关于这一点,无论是对内还是对外,坦率的雅典人...

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...

评分Woo such timeless resonances..
评分western political thought,選段。 看到Nicia被處死的時候感到一陣心酸。
评分重拾精讀。如果說希羅多德是古風時代英雄詩人的精神末裔,以古拙的方言吟唱迷霧中的傳奇,那麼修昔底德就是古典城邦政治遺産的守夜人,用冷峻的眼光和華麗的韻辭為一個激蕩的世紀立下萬世不朽的評傳。這部作品當得起作者的雄心。雅典於希臘諸城邦中第一個做齣瞭打破傳統、圖謀霸權的嘗試,伯裏剋利一番葬禮演說讓雅典式民主流芳韆古,但米蒂利尼辯論混淆瞭正義和利益的界限,米洛斯談判撕下瞭威權的虛僞麵具,西西裏遠徵和寡頭派政變更將民主的脆弱赤裸裸地展現。斯巴達和雅典的鬥爭睏局在今日似乎重又上演,結果如何且拭目以待。
