Thucydides has earned his place amongst the great writers of the world by a single work - the eight books of his 'History of the Peloponnesian War'. In this, the account of the struggle between Athens and Sparta, each with its allies, in the fifth century B.C., he not merely made the first effort known in Europe to achieve a truly scientific history; he constructed a complete and revealing picture of the intellectual background of the war, and the clash of ideas that made it inevitable. The speeches which he makes his characters deliver-though, strictly speaking, unhistorical - are invaluable for an understanding of the policy of the different statesmen and states. The Funeral Oration of Pericles, in particular, has become one of the most- famous prose elegies of all time.
