Thucydides, as revealed by the interesting texts in this volume, remains timeless and relevant. The author decrypts some unknown aspects of the work of the great historian, making us participants in his long-term research.
He also approaches topics from ancient poetry: Homer, Sappho, ancient drama (tragedy-comedy).
And he enriches his texts with place names of the Aegean, with historical issues about Athens, Macedonia, Messenia, Sparta, and Crete, as well as with Socrates as a subject of sculpture, the summer solstice, and many other interesting things.
