The Peloponnesian War might just be one of the first moments in history that's recounted with all the nuance and clarity of a current event, and yet it took place over 2400 years ago. That's one millennium before the events of Beowulf. There are myths and legends that have formed in less time. We owe a debt of gratitude to Thucydides.

Itā€™s so strange when you think of Sparta you think war like people who always wanted a good fight. Then you hear about them constantly being the ones trying to deescalate the tension between everyone fighting. Seems so much more level headed then they are normally portrayed

Talking about Thucydides, his work and essentially his exile always reminds me about the reflections of Polish poet Zbigniew Herbert, expressed in his poem "Why the classics?": "in the fourth book of the Peloponnesian War Thucydides tells among other things the story of his unsuccessful expedition among long speeches of chiefs battles sieges plague dense net of intrigues of diplomatic endeavours the episode is like a pin in a forest the Greek colony Amphipolis fell into the hands of Brasidos because Thucydides was late with relief for this he paid his native city with lifelong exile exiles of all times know what price this is generals of the most recent wars if a similar affair happens to them whine on their knees before posterity praise their heroism and innocence they accuse their subordinates envious colleagues unfavourable winds Thucydides says only that he had seven ships it was winter and he sailed quickly (...)"

Iā€™m a little embarrassed that this may be my first time posting on one of your vids b/c Iā€™ve watched SO many (& likedā¤ļø them). But OMG you are literally one of my favorite content creators! Iā€™ve learned so much about ancient Mesopotamia, Greece, Egypt etc. from your vids & recommendationsšŸ¤Æ I just wanted to say Iā€™m a huge fan of your work. I can only imagine the labor put into the research. It is appreciated!šŸ’—

I would never accuse Cy of being topical, but I can't help but think that there are some valuable insights to be learned about the pitfalls and complexities of military alliances from the Peloponnesian War (indeed of ancient Greek history in general) that are still relevant today as of certain recent events.

The Peloponnesian war deserves a series. It could easily have 10 seasons

I am so glad I found your channel Cy!! I am currently learning about Iranian history as well as beginning to learn Persian and your videos (especially about the Achaemenid Empire) have been so insightful and helpful to me. Keep up the great work, it is very much appreciated (as well as really enjoyable to watch)!

What a great video. So far youā€™ve touched on exactly the right points. Iā€™m glad youā€™ve elected to actually quote Thucydides to great length when needed. Other channels neglect to give the viewer the actual words by which the video is basing its knowledge on.

That was mainly a war between Dorians and Ionians. The separation between the cities was dictated always by tribal relations. The Peloponesian and the Thebans were Dorians while the Athenians were Ionians.

Superb. Just remembering all this from Donald Kagan's book "The Pelloponesian War" I read years ago (definitely recommended). The actions of some of the nations in todays world mirror those in 5th century BC Greece with uncanny similarity. and all those centuries ago. Astounding.
