The introduction to this volume is very thorough … Pelling takes up all major and some minor aspects of the book and gives them full treatment …' Hunter R. Rawlings III, Histos 'Anyone reading Thucydides' books VI and VII can, perhaps even should, benefit from the deep knowledge of and understanding for the text Pelling displays.' Jan P. Stronk, Exemplaria Classica 'The Introductions serve as warm and erudite welcomes into a text often represented as cold and formidable … The commentaries are extremely rich … Pelling's volumes facilitate greater access to Thucydides, while his insightful readings demonstrate the way that Thucydides' authorial choices leave the reader with a sense of the tragedy of the Peloponnesian War.'
