How are you doing so far? This is definitely a heady read. I realized I began this book and didn't finish as indicated by the bookmark that was in my copy from where I left off before! This of course is the history of the great war between Athens and Sparta that lasted 27 years - from 431 to 404 BC. Spoiler alert: it resulted in the fall of Athens. Thucydides participated in the war himself, so he brings an interesting perspective to the narrative. Enjoy and let me know your thoughts and incites in the comments below.
