All the events and issues? What's your topic?

EDIT: Yes, I did wantonly assume that this was to do with your project rather than the core course, why do you ask?

Why would you possibly need a summary of all events

 

[circusmind]

There is no way you need to actually read this shit. It's enough to know vaguely what he wrote about...all you need to know in depth is how he did it. Method/tone/philosophy/etc.

I agree. In the end, all he'll really be is a paragraph or two in your final exams.

Even if it's just that, the events he records aren't nearly as important as his method in approaching history. I really don't see the importance of reading Thucydides in its entirety, focusing on events.
