Thucydides: Narrative and Explanation - Oxford Classical Monographs
Rood, Tim (Junior Research Fellow, Junior Research Fellow, The Queen's College, Oxford)
This book analyses the narrative technique of Thucydides, the historian of the war between Athens and Sparta in the fifth century BC. It relates his shifting uses of various techniques to his explanatory aims, and shows how he narrates the progression of one war and at the same time exposes various truths about the human condition.
