Ramsay – Campion Great Books Podcast: Thucydides’ History of the Peloponnesian Wars

The Ramsay Centre and Campion College

Welcome to the 2022 Ramsay-Campion Great Books Podcast Series.

The series on the Greeks continues as we turn from Homeric epic and Sophoclean tragedy to Thucydides’ History of the Peloponnesian War, a work that not only helps establish the contours of a new literary genre, the History, but in doing so becomes one of the most influential works of political theory in the Western canon. 

In this fifth podcast Dr Stephen McInerney is joined by Professor Simon Haines, CEO of the Ramsay Centre and Dr Jeremy Bell, Lecturer in History and Philosophy at Campion College, Sydney.
