How did the first democracy die?
Lawrence Sammons II
Right. That's true. But I'll also just add in Thucydides' defense that he did have a dark view of human nature. So do I. but that no historian believes that mankind is completely irredeemable. Because you would never write about the past if you didn't think a better future was actually possible. Thucydides had to believe a better future is actually possible.
