Examining what seems to be a paradox of ancient Greek character, political scientist Clifford Orwin argues that Thucydides's obvious humanity in the face of his unflinching realism is not a reflection of the Greek's temperament but an aspect of his thought, above all of his articulation of the central problem of political life, the tension between right and compulsion.
