    Description

    Leather Binding

    In the original Greek.

    In two volumes, being Volumes I and II of a total III volumes.

    Thucydides' important history of the Peloponnesian War, a classic and early scholarly work on history.

    A historical account of the war, which raged from 431-404BC, between the Peloponnesian League, led by Sparta, and the Delian League, led by Athens.

    Thucydides served as an Athenian general during the war, thus this is an interesting first-hand account of the conflict.
