It also features chapters on Thucydides intellectual context and ancient reception. The creative juxtaposition of historical, literary, philosophical, and reception studies
allows for a better grasp of Thucydides complex project and its intellectual context, while at the same time providing a comprehensive introduction to the authors ideas. The volume is organized into four sections of papers: History, Historiography, Political Theory, and Context and Reception. It
therefore bridges traditionally divided disciplines. The authors engaged to write the forty chapters for this volume include both well-known scholars and less well-known innovators, who bring fresh ideas and new points of view. Articles avoid technical jargon and long footnotes, and are written in
an accessible style. Finally, the volume includes a thorough introduction prefacing each paper, as well as several maps and an up-to-date bibliography that will enable further study. The Oxford Handbook of Thucydides offers a comprehensive introduction to a thinker and writer whose simultaneous
depth and innovativeness have been the focus of intense literary and philosophical study since ancient times.
