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 III a V: annees 427-416. Extension du conflit, developpement des crises internes, Athenes et Sparte concluent une paix partielle en 421. Debut d’une periode confuse dominee par les intrigues d’Alcibiade et la rebellion de l’ile de Melos. Celebre dialogue entre Atheniens et Meliens, qui fournit a Thucydide l’occasion de denoncer les exces de la domination athenienne.
