Thucydides
This entry is about Thucydides’ work, significance, and its impact. It aims especially to bring out the innovative features of his history of the Peloponnesian War so that readers will have a sense of where he fits into the nascent genre of historical writing, in particular the attention to demonstrating his awareness that speeches ( logoi ) as well as events ( erga ) were equally part of the writing of history.
The Athenian Empire
Coinage played a central role in the history of the Athenian naval empire of the fifth century BC. It made possible the rise of the empire itself, which was financed through tribute in coinage collected annually from the empire's approximately 200 cities. The empire's downfall was brought about by the wealth in Persian coinage that financed its enemies. This book surveys and illustrates, with nearly 200 examples, the extraordinary variety of silv…

The Pentecontaetia
The term “Pentecontaetia” refers both to the narrative in Thucydides’ History for the fifty-year period between the Persian and Peloponnesian Wars, 478–431 bce (1.89–118) and to the historical period during that time. This chapter aims above all to further appreciation of how Thucydides understood this crucial period in Greek history that saw the emergence of the Athenian empire. Themes and emphases include the origins of the Delian League and th…
Thucydides
Thucydides, an Athenian, composed the history of the Peloponnesian War fought by Athens and Sparta and their respective allies from 431 to 404 BCE .
The Athenian Economy
Then, listen, pop, and relax your frown a bit. First of all, calculate roughly, not with counters but on your fingers, how much tribute we receive altogether from the allied cities. Then make a separate count of the taxes and the many one-percents, court dues, mines, markets, harbors, rents, proceeds from confiscations. Our total income from all this is nearly 2000 talents. This passage, from Aristophanes' Wasps (655-60, trans. Henderson), perfor…
The Cambridge Companion to the Age of Pericles
Mid-fifth-century Athens saw the development of the Athenian empire, the radicalization of Athenian democracy through the empowerment of poorer citizens, the adornment of the city through a massive and expensive building program, the classical age of Athenian tragedy, the assembly of intellectuals offering novel approaches to philosophical and scientific issues, and the end of the Spartan-Athenian alliance against Persia and the beginning of open…
Thucydides’ Workshop of History and Utility outside the Text
Thucydides' famous sentence about utility of his work to those future readers who will want to examine carefully clearness is one of most frequently discussed in entire History . His view of utility shows that work is didactic, so in this respect relationship between text and reader is that of teacher and student. Harvey Yunis points out that, the didactic payoff offered by Thucydides' text requires reader to interpret text critically. A full exa…
Thucydides and Internal War
Epigraphic Geography
In this article, the author examines fragments of the Athenian tribute quota lists assigned to 421/0-415/4 B.C., the period preceding the elimination of tribute in ca. 413. The epigraphical and historical arguments employed previously in the reconstruction of these lists are on the whole not cogent. Moreover, in some cases, epigraphic anomalies such as differences in lettering and the uncertainty of joins may challenge the association of fragment…

The Diseased Body Politic, Athenian Public Finance, and the Massacre at Mykalessos (Thucydides 7.27–29) Lisa Kallet In the midst of his account of the Sicilian expedition Thucydides pauses to describe the economic and financial effects of the Spartan fortification of Dekeleia in Attica in 413 (7.27–28); one result of signal importance for the empire was Athens' decision to abolish tribute, and in its place to levy a harbor tax, the eikostē.

The Athenian Empire Restored
Money, Expense, and Naval Power in Thucydides' History 1-5.24
Thucydides has been found guilty of indifference toward financial matters without a consideration of all the evidence. Lisa Kallet-Marx redirects the approach to Thucydides' treatment of financial resources by studying his comments on finance in the context of the whole work and scrutinizes other, chiefly epigraphic, evidence as well. Her comprehensive inspection of the Archaeology, Pentekontaetia, and history of the Archidamian War demonstrates …
