- Discussing the ancient Greek historian Thucydides. In the fifth century BC Thucydides wrote The History of the Peloponnesian War, an account of a conflict in which he had himself taken part. This work is now seen as one of the first great masterpieces of history writing, a book which influenced writers for centuries afterwards. Thucydides was arguably the first historian to make a conscious attempt to be objective, bringing a rational and impartial approach to his scholarship. Today his work is still widely studied at military colleges and in the field of international relations for the insight it brings to bear on complex political situations.

Thanks!
lovely content, voice and knowledge. and im a sucker for ancient greece =)
AHH this takes me back to the old B B C
I see none of those things coming to haunt us again...
Is it just me or does history seem to repeat itself over and over and over again
It's because the same type of turds always float to the top in quest of power and ownership, only the vicissitudes of predicament and individual proclivity over the ages give it a different shade
Marcus Aurelius : " The same scenes are played out over and over : it is only the actors who change. "
The conversationalists here make referece to what Thucydides called "the human thing" - the reason why these patterns are universal and Thucydides' account of war and the reasons for it is remains so relevant.
"Those who cannot learn from history are doomed to repeat it." George Santayana
thanks James
Thucydides was a Laconaphile.He spent several years in Sparta and was a great admirer of the Spartan socio/political system.
Thank you for putting this up. MITAA.😄👍👍
Thucydides was an Athenian general. He says so in the very first line of his work
@@RenatusChristoph I'm very aware he was Athenian but when I say Spartanite I meaned an admirer of Sparta and its political system.When he fell out of favour in Athens which was very easy to do he stayed in Sparta for a couple of years.I understand that my use of the word Spartanite threw you.i should have said Laconaphile!😁👍
@@RenatusChristoph I've rectified it lol.Besides since when have you ever heard anyone from Sparta referred to as a Spartanite???🤣😒
Enough Already 👂Listen 💭💭💭
You should do more content. :)
Greeks fighting Greeks: that’s how we roll.
AND, Thucydides, The General, said, Peracleze reply to his upcoming marriage, reply, said,"die rather....."...
why don't they answer the bloody question
Obviously you have very little experience of academics / philosophers : ' on the one hand....blah, blah , ....on the other...
blah , blah....'.
Βen Usher-Barrass - What question?
Love the upper-class snooty British accents. They are really easy to understand, despite the hyperbolic emotional emphases. Kinda Shakespearian in how they present. I guess they learn this in British upper-class school.
Not really, they just speak properly.
Well it is kinda their language. Lol
I guarantee you these guys went to the more prestigious colleges . Absolutely nothing wrong with that.I admire fellow Brits who use our language properly.
If they did it in Newcastle accent
you probably wouldn't understand
a word. Also , speaking clearly
and using long words is nothing to
do with being ' Posh ' !
It's mainly thanks to left liberal
inspired class hatred that speaking properly is something to
be ashamed of. ' innit..mate ?
Know wot I mean..?
Athens created the first NATO...so Sparta -Russia had to do something about it😀

There's a Common Motif,
The Trojan War =
The Judgement of Paris (Ares vs CADMUS) at The Wedding of Zeus =
The Bible
Thus, connects with
Egyptian History
(After War They fled to Egypt
She married Amenhotep III killed in battle against Achilles
TutMoses took over Helen & Aryan
Aryan = Argon = Argos, Jason)
Helen became Nefertiti after Thebes conquered The Spartans
