Selected Internet Sites on Thucydides

The Perseus site at Tufts University is a huge resource for classics. This site includes the entire text for The History of the Peloponnesian War and numerous essays by contemporary scholars about Thucydides and the history of his time. Go to this section of the Perseus site for a non-Thucydidean account of the Peloponnesian war for a different view of what happened.

Reed College, Humanities 110: This site, entitled Generic Revolution, contains some helpful notes on Thucydides' The History of the Peloponnesian War.

Demos: Classical Athenian Democracy (recommended by Professor Mitchell-Boyask): describes Athenian Democracy of the 5th and 4th centuries BCE, how it worked, its institutions, and its important historical figures. Demos does not stop with a simple description but intends to allow all of its readers, whatever their background, to have access to the real evidence on which our knowledge of Athenian Democracy is based. Go explore for yourselves!
