It was probably his death that did not let him finish his History. Although the Peloponnesian War took place in the years 431–404BC, Thucydides’ History ends in 411BC. Thucydides is famous for his masterpiece about the history of the Peloponnesian War (the War between the Peloponnesian League led by the oligarch Sparta and the Delian League led by the democratic Athens).
I will not make an extensive introduction about Thucydides, because it may be boring for some people, so I will give more details about him and his books later in the articles.
This is the first of some articles that will be about the most important historian of the antiquity, Thucydides.
