ACOUP - A Trip Through Thucydides (Fear, Honor and Interest)

This time, I’m tackling Bret’s “A Trip Through” series of posts, a format in which Bret takes a look at passages from various historical authors in order to highlight key or important ideas set forward in their writing. To begin, Bret pulls a passage from Thucydides’ history of the Peloponnesian War, specifically the arguments by Athenian envoys against Sparta’s decision to go to war, to examine Thucydides’ formulation of a theory of international relations. And how that formulation remains relevant today.
