==Comments==

"... Thucydides aimed to provide an accurate and detailed account, thoroughly citing his sources whenever he could not provide a first-hand account."

Line 20 ⟶ 41:

This article was in serious need of organization, so I've added subject headings. Obviously there needs to be some more organization and certainly expansion/referencing (citation of sources) of these sections, but at least there is something of a framework to work on.

==Section Entitled "The Role of Religion"==

I have once deleted the link to free will since it is idiosyncratic and not realy essential to understanding the ''History''. It was returned. Any objections to removing it again?[[User:James Sullivan|Jim]]

:It's significatn, but I'm not sure it merits its own section . . . [[User:UnDeadGoat|UnDeadGoat]] 23:26, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

==Image==

I have restored the image of the tenth-century Manuscript. The manuscript is obviously public ___domain, but so is the book, E.M. Thompson's Introduction to Greek and Latin Palaeography, OUP 1912.

== Demosthenes ==

This page has a link regarding the Athenian general Demosthenes, yet it links to the page of Demosthenes the orator. However, the orator is born some 30 years after the events described by Thucydides, and it doesn't seem to me like this can therefore be the same person.

== reader-response criticism? ==

Doesn't this school of thought hold that the reader creates meaning, making the author (essentially) irrelevant? The Connor quotation re: Thucydides seems inappropriate in this context. Any English PhDs out there? [[User:Ifnkovhg|Ifnkovhg]] ([[User talk:Ifnkovhg|talk]]) 10:29, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

==Fair use rationale for Image:Greek Hoplite2.jpg==

[[Image:Nuvola apps important.svg|70px|left]]

'''[[:Image:Greek Hoplite2.jpg]]''' is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under [[Wikipedia:Fair use|fair use]] but there is no [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline|explanation or rationale]] as to why its use in '''this''' Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the [[Wikipedia:Image copyright tags/Fair use|boilerplate fair use template]], you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with [[WP:FU|fair use]].

Please go to [[:Image:Greek Hoplite2.jpg|the image description page]] and edit it to include a [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline |fair use rationale]]. Using one of the templates at [[Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline]] is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Images.2FMedia|criteria for speedy deletion]]. If you have any questions please ask them at the [[Wikipedia:Media copyright questions|Media copyright questions page]]. Thank you.<!-- Template:Missing rationale2 -->

== literature ==

I am not sure that anyone has ever considered the writing to be a chronicle. I see no reason why the designation 'literature' should prevent Thuycdides' history from being as truthful an account as possible (which I take to be the meaning of the obscure term 'objective'([[User:Pamour|Pamour]] ([[User talk:Pamour|talk]]) 12:34, 10 October 2012 (UTC)).

==Outline Section. Book 6==

One of the events in Book 6 is described as "Parties at Syracuse". I didn't find anything that would fit this heading, should it refer to the "pro-Syracusan party" at Catana instead?(6.50-6.51). I also could not find anything in Book 6 that would fit the description "Investment of Syracuse" so I removed it. If anyone disagrees with these changes, revert away.

== Chronology ==

"Thucydides is one of the first western historians to employ a strict standard of chronology, recording events by year, with each year consisting of the summer campaign season and a less active winter season. This method contrasts sharply with Herodotus' earlier work The Histories, which jumps around chronologically and makes frequent and roundabout excursions into seemingly unrelated areas and time periods and has set the standard for historiographical rigor to this day."

This section is ambiguous and confusing. The second sentence needs to make it clear whether "and has set the standard for historiographical rigor to this day" refers to HotPW or Herodotus. I _think_ it refers to HotPW but this is not clear. [[User:PateraIncus|PateraIncus]] ([[User talk:PateraIncus|talk]]) 10:38, 17 June 2014 (UTC)

== When was it published? ==

Could someone please add the approximate date of its publication/finalized creation to the infobox I added to the page? --[[User:DawnDusk|DawnDusk]] ([[User talk:DawnDusk|talk]]) 19:14, 28 January 2021 (UTC)
