Summary

This book, like its companions Thucydides I and IV, is published primarily for students approaching a book of Thucydides for the first time or studying the Peloponnesian War in a more general way. The text and notes are those of E. C. Marchant, originally published in 1891 and the introduction by Thomas Wiedemann which takes into the account the needs of the modern student and up-to-date research on Thucydides.
