In this paper I elaborate on the very issue of ‘Thucydides and religion’ from the ancient reader’s perspective. Stepping on the concept of the ‘implied reader’, introduced by the reader-response criticism, I am trying to explain that the ancients grasped the supernatural dimension of Thucydides’ History more than we nowadays do. Specifically, I focus on three test cases, the plague excursus (2, 47-54), the siege of Plataea (2, 71-78) and the narrative in 3, 104-5, 32, 1 concerning the Athenian greed. I am trying to construct the implied ancient reader on the basis of ancient - literary or not - sources
