English summary: In his history of the Peloponnesian war, Thucydides intended not only to describe the conflict between the Athens and Sparta, but also to offer his readers an education that would last. Thucydides poses the foundations of historical method: search for the truth, then understand the logic behind the events. French description: En composant La Guerre du Peloponnese, l’historien athenien Thucydide n’entendait pas seulement faire le recit du conflit qui, de 431 a 404 avant notre ere, avait oppose les deux plus puissantes cites grecques, Athenes et Sparte, mais aussi procurer a ses lecteurs un enseignement pour toujours . Il ne s’agissait pas seulement d’etablir les faits de la facon la plus sure, mais encore d’en eclairer le sens par les discours pretes aux differents protagonistes. En suivant l’ordre chronologique, et en menant une enquete contradictoire, Thucydide a pose les fondements de la methode historique : d’abord rechercher la verite, ensuite degager la logique des evenements. Livres I et II : expose de la methode. Implication de Sparte dans le conflit en reaction au developpement de l’imperialisme athenien (cause reelle de la guerre pour Thucydide). Exigences des Lacedemoniens auxquelles Athenes, conduite par Pericles et forte de la superiorite de sa flotte, replique. Oraison funebre des morts de la premiere annee prononcee par Pericles. Peste a Athenes et mecontentements croissants apres la mort de Pericles auquel Thucydide rend un hommage appuye.
