Description
P. J. Rhodes continues his edition of Thucydides’ Histories with Book III, providing an introduction, Greek text with facing translation, and a commentary aimed at both specialists and readers with little or no Greek. Matters of text and language are discussed, but the emphasis is on the Peloponnesian War and Thucydides’ treatment of this subject.
P. J. Rhodes was Professor of Ancient History and is now Honorary Professor and Emeritus Professor at Durham University. He has edited and translated four volumes of Thucydides’ Histories in the Aris & Phillips Classical Texts series, as well as two volumes on the Athenian Constitution.

He was President of the Classical Association from 2014–15 and was awarded the Chancellor’s Medal, University of Durham, in 2015.
