| Summary | "Πελοποννησιακός Πόλεμος, Τόμος πρώτος" by Thucydides is a historical account written in the 5th century BC. This work is a detailed narration of the conflict between the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta and the Delian League led by Athens. Thucydides aims to analyze the causes, events, and consequences of the war, which he perceives as a significant event that will be remembered for its impact on Greek states and their interactions. The opening of the text discusses the background and preparation leading up to the Peloponnesian War. Thucydides reflects on the fragmented nature of early Greek settlements and their susceptibility to conflict and migration. He emphasizes the importance of unity among the city-states and contrasts this with the previous disorganization seen before the war. Thucydides also sets the stage for the historical significance of the war, indicating that it was a turning point in Greek history, not only due to its scale but also because of the lessons it could teach future generations about human nature and conflict.
