EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative image, the ancient Greek historian Thucydides is depicted in deep contemplation, seated before a parchment scroll and surrounded by the bustling atmosphere of the Roman Capitol. The historic setting serves as a poignant reminder of Thucydides' own tumultuous past. Born in Athens around 460 BC, Thucydides is considered one of the greatest historians in Western civilization. He is best known for his magnum opus, "The History of the Peloponnesian War," an account of the conflict between Athens and Sparta that lasted from 431 to 404 BC. However, Thucydides' own involvement in military affairs led to his exile. According to tradition, he was exiled for his perceived role in the military failure at Amphipolis in 460 BC. The failure of the Athenian forces under his command was a significant blow to Athens, and Thucydides was held responsible. Despite this setback, Thucydides chose to dedicate the rest of his life to the pursuit of historical truth. Thucydides' "History" is renowned for its objective and meticulous approach to historical research, setting a standard for future historians. He traveled extensively to gather firsthand accounts of events and meticulously recorded the speeches of key figures, providing invaluable insights into the motivations and thought processes of ancient Greek leaders. In this image, Thucydides' intense focus on his scroll reflects his unwavering commitment to his work, even amidst the bustling activity of the Roman Capitol. The historic setting serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring impact of Thucydides' work on the study of history and the human condition. This photograph captures the essence of Thucydides as a historian, military leader, and exile, offering a glimpse into the complexities of ancient Greek history and the enduring legacy of one of its greatest chroniclers.
