Hello everyone! I’m looking to read some Thucydides soon and I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about some notable passages of his besides Pericles’ funeral oration. I’m open to anything at all. Thanks!
Preparation for the Sicilian Expedition? How long are you looking for - you could start with all the ‘rationale’ at the beginning of Book 6, or just the events immediately preceding sail (Mutilation of the Herms, the grand and tragic scene at the Piraeus; 6.29-32).
