Thucydides, Book 7 is a historical text written by the ancient Greek historian Thucydides. This book is part of his larger work, The History of the Peloponnesian War, which chronicles the conflict between Athens and Sparta from 431 to 404 BCE. Book 7 covers the years 415 to 413 BCE, a period that saw Athens launch a disastrous expedition to conquer Sicily. Thucydides provides a detailed account of the political and military events leading up to the expedition, as well as its disastrous outcome. He also explores the internal politics of Athens and the growing tensions between the democratic government and the oligarchic opposition. Thucydides’ writing is known for its objective and analytical approach, as well as its emphasis on the importance of power politics and the role of human nature in shaping historical events. This edition of the book was translated into English in 1893 and includes detailed notes and commentary to help readers understand the historical context and significance of Thucydides’ work.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
