With this edition of Book I, P. J. Rhodes provides the 'prequel' to his editions of Thucydides' books on the Archidamian War (II, III and IV.1-V.24). As before, he provides an Introduction on Thucydides' history and on the Peloponnesian War, a Greek text with selective critical apparatus and facing translation, and a commentary which will be useful both to specialists and to readers with little or no Greek, and which assumes no previous acquaintance with Thucydides.
