ALTERNATIVE FOR 9/16 // DUE MIDNIGHT
This is your assignment in lieu of class attendance on 9/16. Remember it is due by midnight on Tuesday. (It is separate from the regular discussion due Thursday midnight.)
The Peloponnesian Wars (Ist–460-445; GPW–435-404are a study in variable and failed diplomacy, intrigue, multiple alliances, and sheer destructiveness. It seems as if the many efforts of the leading states and their allies amounted to nothing by 335. Where did they go wrong? Did anyone come out ahead after all of this? Who lost the most? What lessons do you think the Hellenes’ experiences have for us in the twenty-first century?
