EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph depicts Thucydides in Exile, a pivotal moment in the life of the renowned Greek historian. Following his defeat in Amphipolis, Thucydides was banished in 424 BC and spent approximately twenty years living in exile. Despite being stripped of his power and influence, Thucydides used this time to make an indelible mark on history with his pen rather than a sword.
Thucydides' magnum opus, the History of the Peloponnesian War, is celebrated for its impartiality, profound insights, and vivid descriptions of ancient Greece. Through his writings, he not only chronicled the tumultuous events of his era but also provided invaluable lessons that continue to resonate today.
In this lithograph by Prescott-Davies from the early 20th century, we see Thucydides portrayed as a figure of contemplation and resilience. The artist captures the essence of a man who turned adversity into opportunity and left behind a lasting legacy that transcends time.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of Thucydides' enduring impact on our understanding of history and human nature. His story serves as a testament to the power of intellect over force and underscores the timeless relevance of wisdom born out of hardship.
