This is perhaps about the most disturbing thing that he says; and, after all, if Thucydides had been making a speech, even that criticism would have been quite true. Dionysius did not understand how history should be written; but he did most thoroughly understand the qualities of the austere style in composition and he appreciated the best qualities of Thucydides on the artistic side - his consummate power in narrative, his fertile inven tion in the speeches, his dignity and unsurpassed pathos. Modern editors, even Poppo, owe a debt to him that they do not always acknowledge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thucydides: Book Vi But in 422 fresh troubles between Leontini and Syracuse were reported at Athens. The Leontines, in order to increase their security against Syracuse, had enrolled new citizens, and proposed to provide them with land at the expense of the rich aristocrats. These latter protested, and obtained help from Syracuse. This gave Athens a pretext for sending out Phaeax, who was to attempt the formation of an anti-syracusan party in Sicily, ostensibly with the purpose of saving Leontini. But his efforts failed; and Syracuse actually appropriated Leontini and divided its land. In the winter of 416 Segesta took advantage of the alliance concluded in 426 to ask for Athenian help against her neighbour Selinus, with whom she was at war. Selinus had already received the support of Syracuse. The result of this request was the great sicilian expedition, which was opened with the most brilliant splendour in June 415, and came to its awful close in September 413.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories From Thucydides N a former volume we have traced the course I of events which ended in the complete over throw of Xerxes and his great army. Our present task is to describe the chief incidents in the cruel and devastating war, commonly known as the Peloponnesian War, which lasted for twenty-seven years, and finally broke up the Athenian Empire. The cause of that war was the env and hatred excited in the other states of Greece by t e power and greatness of Athens and in order to make our story intelligible we must indicate briefly the steps by which she rose to that dangerous eminence, and drew u n herself the armed ho-: ility of half the Greek wor d.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Thucydides: Book II To-day quite other views of the end of learning are making way; according to which views, if I understand them, education ought to teach one kind of thing, and one only, that is to say, that kind of thing which will help the learner to make money. The supporters of these views hold that literature may be advantageously neglected, and something called 'useful knowledge' substituted for it. It is unlikely that any one who shares the new views on education will read these pages, because Greek is not placed by the apostles of this New Learning in the category of 'useful knowledge, ' the omission seeming to involve the conclusion that the Renaissance, the former revival of learning, and especially of Greek learning, was a great mistake, a delusion of foolish men who did not understand what was useful know ledge.' But if any who use this book are drifting about in uncertainty, and asking themselves, 'to what end Z they will do well to ponder those words of Milton.
