Commentary on Thucydides: Volume I: Books i-iii - Hornblower, Simon (Fellow and Tutor in Ancient History, Fellow and Tutor in Ancient History, Oriel College, Oxford)

This is the first volume of a three-volume historical and literary commentary on the eight books of Thucydides, the great fifth-century BC historian of the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta. All Greek is translated, to that the work is accessible to those with little or no knowledge of the ancient language.
