Near the end of Book 7, Thucydides paints a wonderful scene of Athenian soldiers standing at the edge of the great harbor of Syracuse, watching the unfolding of the sea-battle in front of them that will determine whether they can escape home to Athens. Their bodies torque in agony as they watch, some of them shouting, “We are winning!,” some shouting, “We are losing!,” depending on what part of the battle each man is looking at.
