Manage episode 230723974 series 2498995
To what extent does Thucydides alter and tweak his account of the Athenian disaster? In this episode I look at some of the arguments which suggest Thucydides amended and changed his account to align with his views through subtle and none-too-subtle techniques.
I also point out why Nicias would be an ideal guest at a poker night.
