Studying the different terms describing the written conventions (σπονδαί, ξύμβασις, ἀνοκώχη, ἐκεχειρία) shows that they point to different degrees of stability and duration; now Thucydides plays on the words he uses in order to bring his reader to view the peace of Nicias (421), concluded for fifty years, as a mere cessation of hostilities. He thus highlights the confrontation that were taking place during that purely nominal peace. Through a game of mirror with the entry into war (431), Thucydides conveys to us his interest in the confused period that preceded the official opening of the war; he denounces the gap between written convention and reality and shows how the breach of law must be assumed and interpreted in order to be conducive to the breach of a treaty
