A detailed historical account by the ancient Greek historian Thucydides, chronicling the 5th-century BCE conflict between Athens and Sparta (431404 BCE). The work, divided into eight books, explores not only military events but also political intrigue, shifting alliances, the moral and psychological toll of war, and the decline of Athenian democracy. Thucydides, an Athenian general himself, aimed for objective reporting, emphasizing rational analysis over myth or divine intervention, which makes his work a foundational text in both history and political science.
