Book V. 1-24
Simon Hornblower is Professor of Classics and History, University College London.
`Review from previous edition No one will dispute the brilliance of
the author; few, if any, would have contemplated such a task, or
done it better ... H.'s commentary is of enormous value, and will
very likely last as long as Gomme's commentary, if not longer, as a
primary point of reference for any serious endeavour to understand
individual Thucydidean passages, as well as in this volume offering
a valuable methodological approach that will give
continuing impetus to further analysis ... for years to
come, we will all turn to H. when we want to understand more about
Thucydides, and much else besides.
'
The Classical Review
`The commentary offers many valuable insights and observations ...
scholars and students will consult H. with profit
'
Journal of Hellenistic Studies
`Few, if any, can be more knowledgeable or versatile: every page
pullulates with original, apposite and enlightening comments and
ideas. No teacher of Thucydides or Greek history can afford to be
without this book to hand. H's productive capacity and up-to-date
mastery of the field is phenomenal ... school teachers have every
reason to be indebted to him.
