Book excerpt: Excerpt from Lectures on Ancient History, Vol. 2 of 3: From the Earliest Times to the Taking of Alexandria by Octavianus; Comprising the History of the Asiatic Nations, the Egyptians, Greeks, Macedonians and Carthaginians The Peloponnesian war, which in some respects resembles that against Hannibal, is the most immortal of all wars, be cause it is described by the greatest of all historians that ever lived. Thucydides has reached the highest attainable point in historiography, both in regard to the positive historical cer tainty, and to the animated style of his work. In the latter point, Tacitus might perhaps be compared with him, if we pos sessed the lost books of his Historize; for in those which have come down'to us, he did not yet take an active part in public matters, as Thucydides did in the time which he describes. Tacitus, however, is not so unrestrained nor so graphic. Thu cydides is, as it were, present everywhere, and sees what he relates. In this respect he is unique it is possible that Livy, in his last books, was similarly graphic, though in quite a diffe rent way. Sallust has it in his speeches, and may have had it also elsewhere in his lost books. The charge which was for merly brought against Thucydides is of the most absurd kind; in him and in Demosthenes every word has its full weight.

Download or read book The History of the Ancient World From the Earliest Accounts to the Fall of Rome written by Susan Wise Bauer and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2007-03-17 with total page 897 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A lively and engaging narrative history showing the common threads in the cultures that gave birth to our own. This is the first volume in a bold series that tells the stories of all peoples, connecting historical events from Europe to the Middle East to the far coast of China, while still giving weight to the characteristics of each country. Susan Wise Bauer provides both sweeping scope and vivid attention to the individual lives that give flesh to abstract assertions about human history. Dozens of maps provide a clear geography of great events, while timelines give the reader an ongoing sense of the passage of years and cultural interconnection. This old-fashioned narrative history employs the methods of “history from beneath”—literature, epic traditions, private letters and accounts—to connect kings and leaders with the lives of those they ruled. The result is an engrossing tapestry of human behavior from which we may draw conclusions about the direction of world events and the causes behind them.
