Read by <a href="http://librivox.org/" rel="nofollow">Librivox</a> volunteers <i>The History of the Peloponnesian War</i> is an account of the Peloponnesian War in Ancient Greece, fought between the Peloponnesian League (led by Sparta) and the Delian League (led by Athens) in the 5th Century BC. It was written by Thucydides, an Athenian general who served in the war. It is widely considered a classic and regarded as one of the earliest scholarly works of history. The History is divided into eight books. These book divisions are the work of editors in later antiquity. W. R. Connor […] describes Thucydides as “an artist who responds to, selects and skillfully arranges his material, and develops its symbolic and emotional potential.” (Summary from Wikipedia) For more free audiobooks, or to become a volunteer reader, please visit <a href="http://librivox.org/" rel="nofollow">librivox.org</a>. librivox; audiobook; history; ancient history; Sparta; Athens; audiobook; librivox 2006-08-21 23:49:03 info@librivox.org ARossi librivoxbooks 2006-08-21 23:49:23 2006-12-11 14:20:08 LibriVox Librivox recording of a public-domain text 2009-02-25 09:07:23 librivoxbooks
