How did the first democracy die?
PJ Vogt
Thucydides was an elite in Greek society, a general who was exiled from Athens after losing a big battle. He ended up spending time in enemy land, the only place he was welcome for much of his life. Exile is hard on people, but it can be useful for writers, and Thucydides took the opportunity to try to understand Athenian society from his new position outside of it.
