Aims & Scope
The Global Thucydides project offers the first comprehensive mapping of
Thucydides’ receptions on a global scale. It explores the contexts, modes,
and motivations that made Thucydides a subject of enduring scholarly
interest and a shared cultural reference worldwide.
The database is one of the project's key outcomes. It provides a continuously
expanding catalogue of translations and commentaries on Thucydides
produced since the late fourteenth century. It also includes concise
biographies of translators and scholars, alongside an interactive map that
enables a diachronic reconstruction of Thucydides’ global receptions.
