The latest in the Oxford Readings in Classical Studies series collects previously published essays which give a rounded picture of Thucydidean scholarship, with classic studies joined by recent interpretations. Introductory essays by Connor, Dover and Hornblower evaluate the move in the latter half of the twentieth century towards a more critical approach to Thucydides as a source, and a greater focus on the literary context of Thucydides' text. The main body of the volume is organised book by book, examining the key episodes and controversies in the work including Thucydides' authorial voice, his use of speeches, his relationship to Herodotus, his portrayal of the Athenian Empire, and of Pericles, the fate of Mytiline and the nature of Athenian democracy, the Melian dialogue and the Battle of Syracuse. Three closing chapters look at the reception of Thucydides and his influence on later political and philosophical thought.
