L'Antiquité fascine, intrigue et suscite de nombreuses idées reçues héritées de l'histoire et de vagues restes d'un apprentissage scolaire rapide : "La Mésopotamie est le croissant fertile de l'Orient ancien", "La civilisation crétoise se résume à Minos et à ses palais", "Le Nil est au coeur de la civilisation de l'Égypte antique", "Les Phéniciens étaient un peuple de marins-marchands", "Alexandre le Grand a répandu la culture grecque par ses conquêtes", "César est un dictateur qui a fondé un empire", "Vercingétorix est à la tête de la résistance gauloise face à César", "L'Empire romain s'est effondré sous le coup des invasions barbares"... Balayant quatre millénaires de l'histoire occidentale, Pierre Cabanes présente ici une synthèse érudite et vivante de l'Antiquité et de ses principaux personnages.

Plus qu'un simple état de la science sur les Cyclades antiques, ce livre entend interroger les perspectives géopolitiques, économiques, diplomatiques et culturelles induites par le rapport entre les Cyclades - comprises comme un ensemble cohérent dans ses diversités - et les différents pouvoirs ayant dominé la région égéenne au cours du millénaire envisagé ici. C'est ainsi face aux pouvoirs naxien, parien, samien, athénien, lagide, rhodien puis finalement romain que l'histoire des îles cycladiques est interrogée par les vingt contributeurs que réunit cet ouvrage, dans une approche fondée sur la convergence des sources historiques et archéologiques

The Peloponnesian War was really three conflicts (431-421, 415-413, and 413-404 BCE) that Thucydides was still unifying into one account when he died some time before 396 BCE. Although unfinished and as a whole unrevised, in brilliance of description and depth of insight this history has no superior. Thucydides of Athens, one of the greatest of historians, was born about 471 BCE. He saw the rise of Athens to greatness under the inspired leadership of Pericles. In 430, the second year of the Peloponnesian War, he caught and survived the horrible plague which he described so graphically. Later, as general in 423 he failed to save Amphipolis from the enemy and was disgraced. He tells about this, not in volumes of self-justification, but in one sentence of his history of the war--that it befell him to be an exile for twenty years. He then lived probably on his property in Thrace, but was able to observe both sides in certain campaigns of the war, and returned to Athens after her defeat in 404. He had been composing his famous history, with its hopes and horrors, triumphs and disasters, in full detail from first-hand knowledge of his own and others. The war was really three conflicts with one uncertain peace after the first; and Thucydides had not unified them into one account when death came sometime before 396. His history of the first conflict, 431-421, was nearly complete; Thucydides was still at work on this when the war spread to Sicily and into a conflict (415-413) likewise complete in his awful and brilliant record, though not fitted into the whole. His story of the final conflict of 413-404 breaks off (in the middle of a sentence) when dealing with the year 411. So his work was left unfinished and as a whole unrevised. Yet in brilliance of description and depth of insight this history has no superior. The Loeb Classical Library edition of Thucydides is in four volumes.
