A. He trusts his sources completely, without question...which is one great reason to mistrust a lot of things Thucydides wrote about. One example of this is his story about where the bricks for the Giza pyramid came from--They are roughly car-sized rocks. He then mentions a princess, who demanded as the price for every man she slept with...a brick for the pyramid. About 2 million! He writes this story not as a joke, not as rumours about the princess's promiscuity, not as hearsay. but treats it as a fact; as valid as any other. In short, he believed all of his sources, without questioning them at all.

Herodotus or Thucydides: Who is the better historian? ?
Q. I know they both have their strong points and weaknesses, but who would you say was better overall?
Asked by empress_kassie - Thu Sep 11 00:32:12 2008 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Thucydides had many faults, but he marked a vast improvement over Herodotus. Herodotus would refer to the supernatural as the basis for historical events, he would often refer to here-say, and aimed to make his history exciting like the epic poetry of Homer's Illiad, therefor diminishing its objective nature. Herodotus is referred to the Father of History, however, Thucydides is referred to as the Father of Scientific History. He strove for greater objectivity and tried to verify his facts from a variety of sources. He criticised Herodotus' use of myth and elaborate language, and tried to develop a move analytical style of history closer to our own.

Q. Suppose the city of Sparta to be deserted, and nothing left but the temples and the ground-plan, distant ages would be very unwilling to believe that the power of the Spartans was at all equal to their fame. Whereas, if the same fate befell the Athenians, the ruins of Athens would strike the eye, and we should infer their power to have been twice as great as it really is.

A. Look in the index of the book for Pericles and go directly to the speech. J/S Another distinctive feature of the work is Thucydides' inclusion of dozens of speeches assigned to the principal figures engaged in the war. These include addresses given to troops by their generals before battles and numerous political speeches, both by Athenian and Spartan leaders, as well as debates between various parties. Of the speeches, the most famous is the funeral oration of Pericles, which is found in Book Two. Thucydides undoubtedly heard some of these speeches himself while for others he relied on eyewitness accounts. Some of the speeches are probably fabricated according to his expectations of, as he puts it, "what was called for in each situation"… [cont.]

The Athenians reply that the favor of the gods will be equal because athenian aims/actions are consistent with the beliefs about gods, that it is a law of nature to "rule whatever one can."

The point of the Melian dialogues is to demonstrate that belief in moral factors is misplaced in international relations. Justice and honor entail risks. Self interest for a security-maximizing society always entails avoiding risk.

A. No one knows this for certain. The "history" includes events up to at least 411BC - though of course Thucydides had no notion of BC and AD at that time. It doesn't really matter when exactly he wrote this. I feel sure that it was a work in progress over a number of years. All writing was done by hand in those days. There were no computers or word processors - as you know. Writing was a slow. painstaking, and laborious process mechanically. (Good writing is still a slow, painstaking process mentally today.) You could guess 410 to 400 BC for a completion date and be fairly close. I think you will never find one specific year for this superb writing.
