Herodotus, a collector of information, readily shares such with his audience, while Thucydides, a disciplined researcher and teacher, deliberately selects his historical data in order to educate his readers. Like the dramatists, Thucydides has a point to make and makes it. His account of the Sicilian Expedition serves as an outstanding example of this. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Stele: A Student Journal of Antiquity, v.4, p. 32-46 | Publisher: | University of New England | Place of Publication: | Australia | ISSN: | 1324-728X | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 200305 Latin and Classical Greek Languages 210306 Classical Greek and Roman History 200510 Latin and Classical Greek Literature |
