EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the illustration of "Thucydides in Exile" from Hutchinsons History of the Nations, dating back to 1915. The lithograph, created by Prescott-Davies, depicts Thucydides (c. 460-396 BC), a political realist and Greek historian, during his twenty-year exile. In 424 BC, Thucydides faced banishment for his inability to save Amphipolis, an Athenian city. It was during this period that he penned his renowned work, The History of the Peloponnesian War. This historical masterpiece chronicles the conflict between Athens and Sparta during the classical period of ancient Greece. The illustration captures a momentous discussion among ancient Greeks dressed in traditional togas. Thucydides stands as a central figure with an air of wisdom and resilience surrounding him. His presence exudes authority as he engages in intellectual discourse with fellow writers and thinkers. This image not only pays homage to Thucydides' contribution to literature but also serves as a reminder of his enduring legacy as one of history's greatest historians. Through his meticulous documentation and analysis, he provided invaluable insights into human nature, politics, war strategies, and diplomacy. Preserved within this private collection is a piece that encapsulates the essence of ancient Greece's intellectual prowess and artistic expression. As we gaze upon this enchanting engraving from over a century ago, we are transported back in time to witness firsthand the brilliance
