Review


"A model for anyone who wants to get to grips with that great historian: detailed scholarship combined with breadth and lucidity, and the Greek translated into English, too.... It is the model on which all future commentaries should be based."--Peter Jones, The Times [London]


"Research students and others who can take what H. has to offer will find it both informative and stimulating, and an excellent starting-point for further work. I look forward eagerly to the second volume."--P.R. Rhodes, The Classical Review


"The translation is intended to bring out the essence of the Greek and is not simply a word-for-word rendering. In most cases, it is both smooth and precise; Hornblower has done an excellent job."--Times Literary Supplement


"Faculty, undergraduate majors in classical studies or ancient history, and general readers interested in the Peloponnesian War and its historian will find this work useful."--Choice


"The presentation of recent scholarship is fair, clear and comprehensive. One of the benefits of a full commentary is that it is so easy to examine his remarks on other sections of Thucydides. Hornblower strikes an acceptable balance between summarizing scholarly debate and repeating material treated more fully elsewhere."--Classical World


"For its attention to detail, its balanced judgements, and its broad scope, this commentary will become a standard work....It is historically authoritative and historiographically penetrating. Readers at all levels have much to learn from this book, and will appreciate its clear and careful discussions of the many literary masterpieces in Thucydides."--The Classical Journal
