About this audiobook
The History of the Peloponnesian War 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."

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Book: A classic and for good reason. A great read all around.
Audio: Very uneven due to different readers for different chapters. Some were good, some were uneven and a couple were awful. But it was done by volunteers for free, so I can't really complain. - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Lots of people and places; needs following along with a reference tool. Also several different readers.
