Wish you weren't here: The Sicilian Expedition

Jun 28, 2018

To what extent does Thucydides alter and tweak his account of the Athenian disaster? In this episode I look at some of the arguments which suggest Thucydides amended and changed his account to align with his views through subtle and none-too-subtle techniques.

I also point out why Nicias would be an ideal guest at a poker night.
