This volume explores the relationship between Thucydides and ancient Greek historiography,
sociology, and culture. Presenting a new interpretation of the Peloponnesian War and
its historian, it focuses on the role of emotions and ethics in the context of political
history and ethnic conflicts. Drawing on modern anthropological enquiries on kinship
and the sociology of ethnicity and emotions, and on scholarly work on kinship diplomacy
and Greek ethnicity, it argues that inter-communal kinship has a far more pervasive
importance in Thucydides than has so far been acknowledged. Through close readings
and contextualization of a variety of sources, Fragoulaki discusses the various ways
in which ancient Greek communities could be related to each other (colonization, genealogies,
belonging to the same ethnic group, socio-cultural symbols, political mechanisms,
and institutions) and the largely cultural, emotional, and ethical expression of these
ties
