章節(jié)摘錄

Reading PreludeThucydides was an Athenian general and historian. He is known for his History of the Pelloponesian War,the struggle between Athens and Sparta (431－404 BC). His emphasis on accuracy and his impartial attitude in reporting events and drawing conclusions won him the title "father of scientific history".Thucydides believed that studying events of the past could help men understand similar events in the future and perhaps avoid similar mistakes. He saw and reported the greed of power as the underlying cause of this war. Thucydides included facts he knew to be true, either from his own experience of the war or from interviews with persons who had participated in other actions. In his History of the Pelloponesian War, we find not only an exacting account of the details of the conflict, but also his own detailed analysis of human nature, as a means of understanding why events happen as they do.The famous "Funeral Speech of Pericles" is extracted from Book Vl. In spite of the fact that this speech was delivered at the annual public funeral ceremony in 431 BC honoring all Athenian soldiers who had died that year in the war against the Spartans (whom Pericles refers to as the Lacedaemonian), it does not say much about the dead. Instead, Pericles' oration overflows with praise for Athenian power and national character. He praises the freedom of the individual enjoyed by Athenian citizens, and he celebrates Athens' destiny to be an example and an "education" to other Greek cities. While reading the extract, please notice the things to which Thucydides/Pericles attributes Athenian greatness and the many civic virtues of individual Athenian citizens.
