Author : Thucydides

Thucydides (c. 460 B.C. – c. 400 B.C.) was an Athenian historian and general whose influential work, *History of the Peloponnesian War*, chronicles the conflict between Sparta and Athens up to 411 B.C. Recognized as the father of "scientific history," Thucydides rigorously applied standards of impartiality and analytical reasoning, emphasizing evidence and causality without invoking divine influence. He is also regarded as a pioneer of political realism, focusing on the roles of fear and self-interest in shaping human behavior and international relations. His writings, including the notable Melian Dialogue and Pericles' Funeral Oration, remain essential readings in political theory, history, and international studies. Thucydides’ exploration of human nature during times of crisis has continued to resonate through centuries, making his insights relevant in contemporary discussions of conflict and governance.
