"On the basis of a major re-evaluation of the evidence, Ste. Croix presents a wide-ranging reappraisal of Thucydides' historical method and his view of the world around him. He offers a highly original explanation of the Megarian decree, and treats Spartan policy and the workings of the Peloponnesian League in great detail."
