A participant in the war himself, Thucydides sought to explain events through political decisions, military strategy and human behaviour rather than mythology. His analysis of power, fear, ambition, leadership and the pressures of war has made the work both a fundamental source for ancient Greek history and one of the foundational texts of political and historical analysis.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216470131027,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421144334675,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1085\/2951\/6883\/files\/894.jpg?v=1792531696","url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/the-peloponnesian-war-1994-folio-society-894","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
