Thucydides

Thucydides was an Athenian historian whose account of the Peloponnesian War is considered one of the earliest works of rigorous historical analysis. He introduced the concept of seeking evidence and causation rather than attributing events to the gods, establishing a model for modern historiography. His History of the Peloponnesian War remains a foundational text in political science and military history.
