Peloponnesian Wars

If Herodotus is known as the "Father of History", Thucydides is also considered the "Father of History".

Unlike his predecessors, Thucydides, who described the Peloponnesian Wars between the Athenians and Spartans in great detail, created a brand new experience thanks to his focus on a specific subject, his emphasis on chronology, his cause-effect relationships of events, and his absence of supernatural forces in his work. He became the founder of the understanding of history.

“Thucydides of Athens will tell about the war between the Athenians and the Peloponnesians. The reason he tells everything from the beginning is because he believes that this war is much more important than the others. Moreover, both the Athenians and the Peloponnesians were living their heyday during this period. Other cities supported one of the two sides. This war was such a war that both the Hellenes and some of the barbarians were affected by it. In short, it was a war that affected the whole world.”
