The History of the Peloponnesian War

The History of the Peloponnesian War is an account of the
Peloponnesian War in Ancient Greece, fought between the Peloponnesian League
(led by Sparta) and the Delian League (led by Athens). It was written by
Thucydides, an Athenian general who served in the war. It is widely considered a
classic and regarded as one of the earliest scholarly works of history. The
History was divided into eight books by editors of later antiquity.
