"When Thucydides set out to compose his work the writing of warfare was already a notable tradition launched with a bang by the legendary Homer about three centuries earlier.He was followed 300 years later by Herodotus who gave an account of the Persian Wars similarly rich in iconic battles and larger than life personalities on both sides of the conflict. With Thucydides the writing of war took a new direction. In contrast to the wars of Homer and Herodotus the armed conflict that concerned Thucydides was fought primarily among Greeks. It also involved events which occurred within the author's lifetime which introduced a contemporary dimension to the genre. Thucydides focused on offering a strong and authoritative account of the war its causes and its behind the scenes negotiations. To this end he largely left out the gods and religious explanations more generally.Instead he offered a deel analysis of human factors and motivations" Finley. In this sense Thucydides did more than leave historians with an account of the war published close to its conclusion; he created a new expectation for the genre of history and the work of historians.

Hobbes published his translation of Thucydidesâ€™ masterpiece in 1629 when he was in his early forties. Yet he tells us in the introduction that the translation once completed â€œlay long byâ€ him indicating that it had been completed much earlier. â€œHobbes was interested in Thucydides less for his style than his subject matter. Nor did he take up the study and translation of the Greek historian simply with a scholarâ€™s antiquarian interest but with the humanist desire to learn and pass on the lessons of history to his contemporaries. He is not shy of speaking of the utility of history. He talks of Thucydidesâ€™ writings â€˜as having in them profitable instruction for Noblemen and such as may come to have the managing of great and weighty actions.â€™ It is in the history of Thucydides that the purposes of history are most finely embodied: â€˜For the principall and proper worke of History being to instruct and enable men by the knowledge of Actions past to beare themselves prudently in the present and providently towards the Future there is not extant any other merely humane that doth more fully and naturally performe it then this of my Author.â€™â€¦ â€œHobbes had very definite ideas about the conclusions to be drawn from Thucydides. In the long introductory essay â€˜Of the Life and History of Thucydidesâ€™ he derives from the history an account of the political opinions of its author: â€˜For his opinion touching the government of the State it is manifest that he least of all liked the Democracy. And upon divers occasions hee noteth the emulation and contention of the Demagogues for reputation and glory of wit; with their crossing of each others counsels to the damage of the Publique; the inconstancy of Resolutions caused by the diversity of ends and power of Rhetorique in the Orators; and the desperated actions undertaken upon the flattering advice of such as desired to attaine or to hold what they had attained of authority and sway amongst the common people. Nor doth it appeare that he magnifieth anywhere the authority of the Few; amongst whom he saith every one desireth to be chiefe; and they that are undervalued beare it with lesse patience than in a Democracy; whereupon sedition followeth and dissultion of the government. Hee prayseth the government of Athens when it was mixed of the Few and the Many; but more he commendeth it both when Pisistratus raigned saving that it was an usurped power and when in the beginning of this Warre it was Democraticall in name but in effect Monarchicall under Pericles.â€™ â€œThucydides here is represented as a closet royalist. The passage to which Hobbes is directly referring which must have been written after the final defeat of Athens in 404 is Thucydides summary account of the causes of her downfall in Book II. This is a long but crucial passage in Hobbesâ€™ translation a shortcut to the lessons to be learnt from the larger narrative. While there are many factors that contributed to the political philosophy later developed by Hobbes not least his experience of civil disorder in Britain it might be argued that the political analysis here of the weakness of the Athenian democracy was influential in defining a problem to which the doctrine of Leviathan was the solution.â€Robin Sowerby â€œThomas Hobbesâ€™ Translation of Thucydidesâ€ "The historical methods of Thucydides who lived in the fifth century B.C. have never been bettered. His severe standard of historical truth coupled with his passionate belief in the general significance of particular events have given his history of the tragic war between Athens and Sparta a universal value to statesmen and historians alike."

Ownership inscription dated 1595 of the German jurist political philosopher and seven-time rector of the University of TÃ¼bingen Christoph Besold 1577-1638. Besold was a close friend of Johannes Kepler whom he met while studying at TÃ¼bingen at which time he purchased this book. Besold championed Kepler's theories while at TÃ¼bingen and in 1626 he participated in the trial of Kepler's mother who was accused of witchcraft and ultimately acquitted. As a political philosopher Besold proposed a form of mixed constitution in which the 'rights of majesty' are divided between the prince and the assembly of estates. For his evolving views see his "De consilio politico axiomata"1622 "De statu reipublicae mixtu"revised ed. 1625 and "Principium et finis politicae"1626. For his views on Democracy in particular see his 1623 "Discursus politici" esp. Chapter III "De Democratia". 2.

This volume collects all of the surviving state funeral orations from classical Athens. Like tragedy these speeches present an image of an idealized Athens. The narratives of past Athenian glories found in these speeches feature many of the same mythical tales that were also presented on stage. Like many of the plays the funeral orations emphasize important themes such as Athenian unity their aid to suppliants and their willingness to drive away foreign invaders to protect the other Greeks. The selective version of more recent history found in the funeral orations also highlights these same qualities by focusing on the role of Athens during the Persian Wars 490-479 when the city helped save the other Greeks from invading foreigners and by passing over other events such as the Peloponnesian War 431404 in which Athens opposed fellow Greeks. Although nearly all of the surviving Greek tragedies are set in the distant mythical past the significant exception is Aeschylus Persians the audience in the theater would recognize aspects of contemporary Athens in the depiction of ancient Athenian heroes such as Theseus. The funeral orations draw similar connections more explicitly by presenting a continuous narrative tying the present generation with the great heroes of long ago." -- with a bonus offer-- .
