Autorenporträt
Thucydides (c. 460 – c. 395 BCE) was an ancient Greek historian and Athenian general whose work, 'Stories from Thucydides', primarily refers to his seminal historical account, 'The History of the Peloponnesian War', which provides a detailed chronicle of the 27-year conflict between Athens and Sparta. Thucydides is celebrated for his complex analysis and rigorous methodology, rejecting myth and legend to focus on empirical evidence and a rational approach to historical narrative. His work has been pivotal in shaping the historiography of classical antiquity and continues to be studied for its meticulous approach to documenting the politics, society, and warfare of his time. Thucydides' critical approach to history, insistence on cause and effect relationships, and exploration of power dynamics remain influential, setting a high standard for historical inquiry. His narrative is marked by a dramatic yet impartial style, providing insights into human nature and the recurrent patterns in the history of nations. Thucydides' influence extends beyond history to the realms of political science and international relations, where his analysis of the Peloponnesian War offers timeless observations on the behavior of states.
