Carlo Marcaccini (coord.), Antonis Tsakmakis (coord.)

• Thucydides was born when Aeschylus dominated the tragic scene, young Sophocles had for the first time defeated him and Pericles was starting his political career; he was about twenty years younger than Euripides, Herodotus, and Protagoras, and a contemporary of Socrates, Democritus, and Hippocrates.
