Commentary on Thucydides: Volume II: Books iv-v.24 - Hornblower, Simon (Professor of Classics and Ancient History, All Souls College, Oxford)

This is the second volume of a three-volume historical and literary commentary on Thucydides, the great fifth-century BC Greek historian. Books iv-v.24 contain the Pylos-Sphakteria narrative and Brasidas' operations in the north of Greece. All the Greek is translated and there is a full index. A new feature is the provision of a thematic introduction.
