22. Thucydides In The Modern World thucydides, the Ancient Greek historian of the fifth century B.C., is not only the father of scientific history, but also of political realism, the school http://www.hri.org/por/thucydides.html

The Influence of Thucydides in the Modern World The Father of Political Realism Plays a Key Role in Current Balance of Power Theories By Alexander Kemos Thucydides' realism has had a timeless impact on the way contemporary analysts perceive international relations. Adding to the works of Gilpin and Waltz, Leo Strauss of the University of Chicago viewed The Peloponnesian War as containing propositions that could be brought into a coherent framework and identified as "Thucydides' political philosophy" or serve even as the basis for a series of laws about the science of modern politics. In fact, political scientists have treated the work of Thucydides as a coherent attempt to communicate silent universals that have served as the basis for American foreign policy and security doctrine in the post World War II era. Thus, on one hand, Thucydides was the first to describe international relations as anarchic and immoral. The "Melian dialogue" best exemplifies Thucydides' view that interstate politics lack regulation and justice. In the "Melian dialogue," he wrote that, in interstate relations, "the strong do what they have the power to do and the weak accept what they have to accept." For him, international relations allow the mighty do as they please and forfce the weak to suffer as they must. On the other hand, Thucydides illustrated the Cold War phenomenon of "polarization" among states, resulting from their strategic interaction.

Democritus [ Thucydides ] Hippocrates Tamil Poets Click Up For A Summary Of Each Author Contents Introduction The Early History of Greece Agamemnon The Funeral Oration of Pericles ... Source Introduction Thucydides (c. 460-c. 399 BCE) was elected by the Athenians to the position of army general in 424 BCE. The results of this democratic approach to warfare were not always happy, and the Athenians abandoned it to raise a professional army after heavy losses reduced their population. After Thucydides lost the city of Amphipolis, the most important stronghold in Thrace, he was banished for 20 years from Athens. During this time he wrote a history of the Peloponnesian Wars, in which he was able to describe the great skill of the general who defeated him. His work, along with that of Heroditus, formed the beginning of historical writing that sought to inquire into such information as may lead to the facts concerning the past. The new historical writing was a process that required careful collection of information, judgment of sources, and the application of reason. That is, Thucydides attempted to develop history from a scientific rather than a mythical basis, rejecting the supernatural and composing a history that revealed underlying social pressures and political principles. He was a mature man when the Peloponnesian War broke out in 431 BCE, and realizing its importance, he kept a record of events. On these notes he based his voluminous history.

25. Thucydides (460-400 BC); A Short Biography A short biography of thucydides (460400 BC), the famous ancient Greek who wrote The Peloponessian War . http://www.ourcivilisation.com/decline/thcydds.htm

Thucydides (460-400 BC) The Author of " The Peloponessian War Thucydides the son of Olorus was born probably about 460 BC and died about the year 400 BC. When the Peloponnesian War broke out in 431 B.C Thucydides probably took part in some of its early actions. Some time between 430 and 427 he fell ill in the plague, but recovered. In 424 he was appointed general, but his small squadron of ships arrived too late to save the important Athenian colony of Amphipolis from the Spartan commander Brasidas, though he successfully held the nearby port of Eion against Brasidas's attacks. In consequence he was exiled, not returning until twenty years had passed, only to die a few years later. For much of the period he describes The Peloponnesian War is the only source that survives. The verity of his reports and the justice of his perceptions have been the cause of controversy amongst scholars for centuries. But it is certain that he used his historical imagination to reconstruct only as a last resort. When the various parts of the history were composed, which of these he revised, and whether their chronological inconsistencies are due to later editing - these questions are still unsolved.

Thucydides From LoveToKnow 1911 THUCYDIDES (00vrcv60ns), Athenian historian. Materials for his biography are scanty, and the facts are of interest chiefly as aids to the appreciation of his life's labour, the History of the Peloponnesian War The older view that he was probably born in or about 471 B.C., is based on a passage of Aulus Gellius , who says that in 431 Hellanicus " seems to have been" sixty-five years of age, Herodotus fifty-three and Thucydides forty ( Noct. att. xv. 23). The authority for this statement was Pamphila, a woman of Greek extraction, who compiled biographical and historical notices in the reign of Nero . The value of her testimony is, however, negligible, and modern criticism inclines to a later date, about 460 1 (see Busolt, Gr. Gesch. iii., pt. 2, p. 621). Thucydides' father Olorus, a citizen of Athens , belonged to a family which derived wealth and influence from the possession of gold -mines at Scapte Hyle, on the Thracian coast opposite Thasos , and was a relative of his elder namesake, the Thracian prince, whose daughter Hegesipyle married the great Miltiades , so that Cimon , son of Miltiades, was possibly a connexion of Thucydides (see Busolt, ibid., p. 618). It was in the

Index Biography of Thucydides Thucydides. Greek historian. Born at Athens about 471 B.C. Is said to have been descended from Olorus, King of Thrace. At the outbreak of the Peloponnesian War Thucydides received a command, but failed to relieve Amphipolis when besieged by Brasidas, and was banished (423 B.C.). After 20 years of exile, during which he is supposed to have written his "History of the Peloponnesian War," Thucydides returned to Athens about 403. Died about 400 B.C.

30. Thucydides, C.460-c.400 B.C. Living in the Athens of Pericles, thucydides regarded the motives of statesman and the actions of government as the essence of history. http://www.historyguide.org/ancient/thucydides.html

Thucydides, c.460-c.400 B.C. The Greek historian of the Peloponnesian War, Thucydides was the son of Olorus, an aristocrat, and was born near Athens around 460 B.C. He suffered in the plague that devastated Athens in 430, but managed to recover and command an Athenian squadron of seven ships at Thasos (424). Failing to relieve Amphipolis, he was condemned to death. He took refuge in exile and retired to his Thracian estates. Thucydides lived in exile for the next twenty years and probably did not return to Athens until 404. Living in the Athens of Pericles, Thucydides regarded the motives of statesman and the actions of government as the essence of history. He did not simply categorize facts. Instead, Thucydides sought out those general principles that those facts illustrated. He searched for the truth underlying historical events and learned that the motives of men follow certain patterns. Therefore, the proper analysis of the Peloponnesian War would reveal those general principles that also govern human behavior. In The Peloponnesian War , Thucydides writes: Of the events of the war I have not ventured to speak from any chance information, nor according to any notion of my own; I have described nothing but what I either saw myself, or learned from others of whom I made the most careful and particular inquiry. The task was a laborious one, because eyewitnesses of the same occurrences gave different accounts of them, as they remembered or were [partial to] one side or the other. And very likely the strictly historical character of my narrative may be disappointing to the ear. But if he who desires to have before his eyes a true picture of the events which have happened, and of the like events which may be expected to happen hereafter in the order of human things shall pronounce what I have written to be useful, then I shall be satisfied. My history is an everlasting possession, not a prize composition which is heard and forgotten.

home index ancient Greece Thucydides Thucydides (Altes Museum, Berlin) Thucydides (c.460-c.395): Athenian general and historian, author of the History of the Peloponnesian War Being exiled because he had during the Archidamian War been unable to defend Amphipolis against the Spartan commander Brasidas , the former Athenian general Thucydides wrote the history of the wars fought between Athens and Sparta in the years 431-404. And nothing else. Because of the absence of romantic digressions, the History of the Peloponnesian War is less easy to read than the Histories of Herodotus , but Thucydides offers an in-depth analysis of the mechanisms of war, which -he oped- would be useful in all ages. And indeed, his description of the changing use of language in times of war has become a classic. Although he does his best to remain objective, Thucydides can not always hide his personal judgment. For example, his account of the plague at Athens in 429 slowly develops into a shocking story about moral corruption. His judgment of people like Pericles Cleon and Nicias is, according to modern historians, hardly accurate, and the last word has not yet been spoken about his dismissal of the

Kilcullen Books VI and VII: The Sicilian Expedition In V.25-6 Thucydides explains that the peace of Nicias was only an interval in what was really one war. Athens and Sparta drifted back into war (although it was almost seven years before Athenians and Spartans directly fought one another; V.25, VII.18). In book VI Thucydides describes the next major Athenian action, an attack on Syracuse, a democratic city in Sicily, not allied with Sparta. Ostensibly the Athenians went there to aid certain allies, and to cut off possible help for Sparta from the cities of the western Mediterranean. Thucydides suggests that their real aim was to extend their empire (contrary to Pericles' advice not to try to add to the empire during the war, II.65). Read VI.8-18 Compare Nicias and Alcibiades on the rationality of taking risks in extending the empire. Which is right? Just before the departure of the Sicilian expedition Alcibiades was accused of impiety (certain statues had been desecrated), and was later recalled from Sicily to face the charge. Instead he went to Sparta and offered his services. Read VI.89-92

The Classical Origins of Western Culture The Core Studies 1 Study Guide by Roger Dunkle Brooklyn College Core Curriculum Series THE PELOPONNESIAN WAR Genre - History What we refer to as myth or legend was considered historical fact by most Greeks down into and even beyond the fifth century B.C. For example, the Homeric poems were taken seriously as an historical record of the past. Indeed, as modern archaeology has shown, there is a kernel of historical truth in the Iliad that is, a war did take place at the site of Troy in approximately the same period as was assigned to it by legend. Nevertheless, it is clear that the overall account of the Trojan war in the Iliad is the result of imaginative embellishment of a story told again and again by generations of poets. It was not until more than two centuries after the composition of the Homeric poems that a more scientific form of history developed. Rational analysis, which had begun in Ionia with the Milesian philosophers with reference to the universe, gradually extended to include the recording of human events. Historie , the Greek word from which our word "history" is derived, means `inquiry' and indicates the nature of this new way of dealing with the past. The recording of human events is no longer the uncritical retelling of traditional myths and legends, but an account which is the result of critical evaluation applied to what the author himself and others have seen and heard.

Suddenly falling upon Athens, it first attacked the population in Piraeus- which was the occasion of their saying that the Peloponnesians had poisoned the reservoirs, there being as yet no wells there- and afterwards appeared in the upper city, when the deaths became much more frequent. All speculation as to its origin and its causes, if causes can be found adequate to produce so great a disturbance, I leave to other writers, whether lay or professional; for myself, I shall simply set down its nature, and explain the symptoms by which perhaps it may be recognized by the student, if it should ever break out again. This I can the better do, as I had the disease myself, and watched its operation in the case of others.

Explore full text using Google Book Search Description Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian War is the earliest surviving realist text in the European tradition. As an account of the Peloponnesian War, it is famous both as an analysis of power politics and as a classic of political realism. From the opening speeches, Thucydides' Athenians emerge as a new and frightening source of power, motivated by self-interest and oblivious to the rules and shared values under which the Greeks had operated for centuries. Gregory Crane demonstrates how Thucydides' history brilliantly analyzes both the power and the dramatic weaknesses of realist thought. The tragedy of Thucydides' history emerges from the ultimate failure of the Athenian project. The new morality of the imperialists proved as conflicted as the old; history shows that their values were unstable and self-destructive. Thucydides' history ends with the recounting of an intellectual stalemate that, a century later, motivated Plato's greatest work.
