You know those situations where you completely burn your brain out on an overcomplicated project you never should have undertaken in the first place so you rearrange your schedule to give yourself a super easy back-pocket win that requires only a reasonable amount of research investment and mapmaking instead of three straight weeks?

No, just me? Okay.

Today we'll take a look at the foundational work of my entire career path — Thucydides' History of the Peloponnesian war, a book that almost single-handedly set the standard for how we engage in historical inquiry. Also it has the added benefit of being about Ancient Greece so win-win! SOURCES & Further Reading: "History of the Peloponnesian War" by Thucydides, "Histories" by Herodotus, "Hellenica" by Xenophon, and the 4 straight years I spent studying this in university — Boy do I love doing a video about a topic I'm specifically trained in.
