About Thucydides
Thucydides (c. 460 – c. 400 BC) was an ancient Greek historian best known for his work "History of the Peloponnesian War," which chronicles the conflict between Athens and Sparta. Often regarded as the father of scientific history, Thucydides emphasized empirical evidence and critical analysis in his writing, making him a foundational figure in the study of history and political thought. His insights into power dynamics and human nature continue to influence historians and political theorists to this day.
