Thucydides Peloponesian War
#1
Since the Peloponessian War is an extreme fascination of mine and since i've had this book and just haven't begun reading it I thought I would get everyone who cares to share their opinion on the book. How credible is Thucydides, I know he was one of the first greek historians, but I have talked to professors before and some have thought him a credible source, wheras others have found him too biased, as he was an Athenian general. So please share your opinions if you have read this book.<br>

Peace<br>
