[I-kai · Rating 5 out of 5]

one of the excellent commentaries of this series. Rusten maintains almost a perfect balance between clarification of T.'s tortuous grammar, info on contemporary historical research and explanation of philological issues. Constant references to Smyth and Denniston really helps. Not the best place to start, though, more suitable for intermediate level readers...

Έναρξη του πολέμου, εκστρατεία των Πελοποννησίων στην Αττική, ναυτικές επιχειρήσεις των Αθηναίων στην Πελοπόννησο, λοιμός στην Αθήνα (πανώλη;), Περικλής και θάνατός του, πολιορκία των Πλαταιών και της Ποτίδαιας, πρώτες ναυμαχίες των Αθηναίων εναντίων των Πελοποννησίων με νικητές τους πρώτους. Και το ταξείδι συνεχίζεται...

Η αρχή του πολέμου, η εισβολή στις Πλαταιές, ο λοιμός στην Αθήνα, η εισβολή των Σπαρτιατών στην Αττική , λεηλασίες της Πελοποννήσου από τους Αθηναίους, ο επιτάφιος του Περικλή.

Thebes and Petaea get into it, one of them calls up Athens, Athens is like remember the Greco- Persian Wars? Good times. And then the Peloponnesians (or is it the Athenians?) invade Attica and the plague hits. So the Peloponnesians invade Petaea and are momentarily waylaid by Phormio’s navy. At which point I’m pretty sure it was Athens started calling up the Thracians.

Mucho más interesante que Herodoto. Se centra en los hechos y no en la mitología

Hi ha parts en que dona moltissima informació, però n'hi ha d'altres que són tan gracioses

Hi ha dos discursos de Pèricles que són per emmarcar. També, batalles lliurades amb molt d'enginy.
