Thukydides, Politische Reden. Ausgewählt, übersetzt und eingeleitet von Otto Regenbogen

Otto Regenbogen (1891-1966), classical philologist and a leading proponent of the Dritten Humanismus, a German intellectual movement in the early 20th century that sought to revive classical Greek and Roman ideals as a cultural and moral foundation for modern society. From 1925, Regenbogen served as Professor of Classical Philology at the University of Heidelberg. In 1935, he was forcibly suspended by the Nazi regime for failing to promptly report his wife's Jewish ancestry. After World War II, he played an active role in rebuilding the university and resumed his professorship. Regenbogen's research focused on ancient science and medicine, Lucretius, Senecan tragedy, Aeschylus, Homer, and Plato. DB
