Reading' Thucydides in antiquity may have differed significantly from our own modern experience. Although it is natural for us to speak of 'readers,' this book demonstrates that Thucydides is a transitional figure between the predominantly oral culture of fifthcentury BCE Athens and the more literate culture that followed. Thucydides describes his work as 'a possession forever,' yet he acknowledges that those listening may find it 'less than delightful.' Is he writing, therefore, for readers or listeners?In Reading Thucydides, James V. Morrison proposes a 'hybrid' reception model, arguing that Thucydides' History may be regarded as a pivotal work that seeks to recreate the earlier world of spoken argument, yet it does so as a text that may be read and rereadand heard and heard again.Thucydides challenges his readers in many ways. Morrison finds the reader's experience to be the result of deliberate strategies on Thucydides' part. Indeed, the History is an interactive work that engages readers by encouraging them to adopt the position of figures within the work, to project themselves into the past, and to view what is past as part of an indeterminate future. The 'participatory' nature of Thucydides' narrative, like Plato's dialogues a generation later, reflects the transition from orality to the rise of public and private reading.Reading Thucydides brings clarity to the historian's working methods in a highly readable, accessible style. Thus it will appeal not only to scholars but to advanced undergraduate and graduate students in history and classics..
