Notes on the current edition

History of the Peloponnesian War

1. Thucydides refers to thes spiritual no less than to the physical products which the greatness of Athens attracts to her, to the poetry, music, and art which find there a congenial home as well as to articles of commerce. On these latter compare a passage in the pseudo-Xenophontic Constitution of the Athenians, written somewhat earlier than this portion of Thucydides' history:
Whatever desirable thing is found in Sicily, Italy, Cyprus, Egypt, Lydia, the Pontus, the Peloponnesus, or anywhere else, all these things are brought together at Athens on account of her mastery of the sea.
Ps. Xen. Const. Ath. 2.7
