Luckily I have my pocket Thucydides with me too.)
. . ."a new comment on your post "Dateline Milna 7-15

Actually, it was Thucydides in the History of the Pelopnnesian War who
began his study of the 20 some year conflict between Sparta and Athens
with a review of early Greek History.
At times we need to be careful what artists say over dinner. Maybe Chaz
mixed up his Historians after yet another libation.
Some will argue that History began with Thucydides others claim oral
History ended with Thucydides. I prefer to believe he was only
attempting to give an understanding of the incomparable struggle between
two states so close and yet so far apart.
