In the first of two brief notes, an attempt is made to show that Protagoras draws on Homeric ideas when claiming that he does not know whether gods do or do not exist, and that Thucydides likewise draws on these Homeric ideas in the Melian dialogue. In a second note, Thucydides is shown to have influenced what authors such as Cicero later regarded as essential features of an ideal orator.

This article attempts to prove that the most important shade of meaning of αρετή in THUC. VIII,68,1 is “a willingness to face the consequences of one’s efforts in the face of mortal danger”. Further, arguments are presented for holding on to the traditional picture of Antiphon as an éminence grise who coordinated oligar- chic clubs to prepare a bloody putsch in Athens in 411 BC. When the oligarchy collapsed, he was brought to trial, where he probably did not seek to justify his involvement in the coup, but tried to deny it outright. This strategy, which, it is argued, does not contradict the definition of αρετή suggested above, proved unsuccessful, despite Antiphon’s masterly rhetoric.

The aim of this article is to revive the opinion that the Four Hundred sent only two embassies to Sparta. The author suggests that the first embassy is mentioned in THUC. VIII,71,3, 86,9 and 90,1, that it was sent to Sparta in early July 411, but its members were arrested in Argos while on their way from Sparta to Athens. This chronology corresponds with the contemporary events on Samos.

This article discusses the tradition of the Ionian colonisation preserved in ancient literary sources. The author focuses on the time and circumstances in which the view that the Athenians were responsible for the Ionian colonisation emerged. He also examines whether there is any support in the sources for the opinion expressed by some historians that such a belief was already strong in the Archaic period.

Dwa modele postrzegania historii. Herodot Cypriana Norwida i Tukidydes Zbigniewa Herberta

The article presents and compares historiosophical conceptions of Cyprian Norwid and Zbigniew Herbert based on particular notes and pieces of both poets. It shows that the author of Vade-mecum sees history by – say – methodology of Herodotus, and the author of Pan Cogito creates vision of history like in Thucydides’s one. Both perspectives are valuable and stem from different original presuppositions, nonetheless both of them lead to the same aim, which is understanding of mechanisms ruling human history.

In this essay the author reflects on a monograph by Krzysztof Łęcki, Według Tukidydesa. Rozważania socjologa literatury nad ‘Wojną peloponeską’ [According to Thucydides: Reflections on the Sociological Literature about The Peloponnesian War] (2019), and seeks themes in it that extend beyond the sociology of literature. He concludes that Łęcki’s analysis convincingly adds to the body of knowledge on Thucydides’s text in philosophy and the sociology of politics. The book touches on many themes relevant to historical sociology or the sociological (and politological) understanding of rules governing the mechanisms of politics and international relations.

The aim of this article is to reconstruct the most plausible chronology of the events of the Ionian War between the second and the third treaty between Sparta and Persia, concentrating on the Spartan and Persian sides of the war. It is claimed that the eighth book of Thucydides, if interpreted correctly, presents us with plausible and sufficient temporal indications and that we do not need to postulate long stretches of inactivity not mentioned or hinted at by the historian.

'War is hell’ is one of the mantras used to offer an explanation for the lack of ethical guidance in the radical antagonism involved in that human conflict known as war. Throughout the history of mankind, there has been an effort to introduce ethical considerations in war-waging. However, humanity has assisted, defenseless, to the greatest injustices and disasters once and again. This situation highlights the problematic issues and paradoxes of the concept of “just war”. Our purpose here is to analyze the origins of this concept in the Greek ethical reflection during the Peloponnesian War and in the justification of the Roman expansion during the founding of the Roman Empire.
