This useful companion, keyed by bold lemmata to the Penguin translation, identifies the basic issues and raises key questions. The reader is aided by frequent cross-references and succinct comments on Thucydides' choices regarding selection and placement of material. The book is especially useful for Greekless readers of ancient history, political science or international relations coming to the work of Thucydides for the first time.
N.K. Rutter is Emeritus Professor of Classics, University of Edinburgh.
