Stories From Thucydides is a collection of historical tales written by H.L. Havell. The book is based on the works of Thucydides, a Greek historian who chronicled the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta in the 5th century BC. Havell's book presents a condensed version of Thucydides' writings, focusing on the most significant events and personalities of the war. The stories are written in a simple and engaging style, making them accessible to readers of all ages. The book is a great introduction to ancient Greek history and provides valuable insights into the politics, society, and culture of the time. Overall, Stories From Thucydides is an enjoyable and informative read for anyone interested in history or the ancient world.The second invasion of the Peloponnesians was prolonged for forty days, and the whole Attic territory was laid waste. Pericles again refused to venture a pitched battle against them, knowing well that the Athenian army was no match for them in the open field. But a powerful fleet was sent to cruise round Peloponnesus, which inflicted much damage on the coast districts. It was a welcome relief to the Athenians selected for this service to escape for a time from the plague-stricken city; but unhappily they carried the infection with them, and the crews were decimated by the same disease.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
