Thucydides: The Great Historian of Ancient Greece (Thucydides, Pt. 1)
New lecture series on Thucydides, author of The History of the Peloponnesian War. In part one, we will explore why many academics view Thucydides as the first scientific historian, owing, chiefly, to his empirical, historical method of evaluating and scrutinizing primary sources and mining for data and evidence. In this video, we contrast Thucydides with another great historian, Herodotus. Herodotus wrote on the Greco-Persian Wars; Thucydides wrote on the epic conflict between Athens (the Delian League) and Sparta and her allies (the Peloponnesian League).
