Book VI of Thucydides deals, through its speeches in particular, with Athenian motivation towards sending the great expedition to Sicily, with the attitudes of various factions involved, and with the seeds of the expedition's ultimate disastrous conclusion. It contains memorable sections on Alcibiades, on the Athenians' excitement at the sailing, on the mutilation of the Herms and a digression on the fall of Athenian tyranny a century earlier.

This edition, with introduction and notes, is designed to help senior school and university students read, understand and enjoy Thycydides. Its notes aim to assist translation, draw attention to features of language and style characteristic of the author, make explicit what the author took for granted in his original Greek audience, comment on the historical background, and offer grounds on which to reach decisions as to whether the author's historical statements are true or false.

Verk�uferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen

Bristol Classical Press, London, 2002. 1st ed. XXIX,(72),111p. Paperback. Blind tooling ex libris stamp on title page. Spine with reading trace. 'A very high standard of scholarship is maintained throughout this edition. (.) Dover seems to be a specialist on every aspect of his work. He is as much at home when dealing with linguistic peculiarities and textual difficulties as when discussing problems of topography (.) or the technological obscurities of Greek naval architecture. (.). The long discussion of the Peisistratic digression (VI 54-59) is valuable, especially in pointing out that the motive of Thucydides is to correct historical error even at the cost of irrelevance, an essential factor underlying all the major digressions (.). Among the most welcome features of this edition is that Dover faces squarely some historical problems to which little or no attention has hitherto been paid.' (H.D. WESTLAKE in The Classical Review, 1966, p.26-28). Artikel-Nr. 60972
