Und diesen hat Thukpdides aus Athen ebenfalls beschrieben,
so wie es von Jahr zu Jahr nach Sommern und Wintern darin
zugegangen ist, bis die Lakedämonier und ihre Bundesgenossen
der Herrschaft der Athener ein Ende machten und sich der langen
Mauern und des Peiraieus bemächtigten. Bis dahin dauerte der
Krieg im ganzen siebenundzwanzig Jahre. Wollte man die in der
Mitte liegenden Friedensjahre nicht als Kriegszeit ansehen, so
wäre das nicht richtig. Es genügt ein Blick auf die Ereignisse,
wie ich sie dargestellt, um sich zu überzeugen, daß man nicht
füglich von Frieden reden kann in einer Zeit, wo beide Teile
weder alles Herausgaben noch wiederbekamen, wie es in dem
Vertrage ausgemacht war, und sich außerdem im mautineishcen
und epidaurischen Kriege und auch sonst noch über ihn hinweg
setzten, die vorderthrakischen Bundesgenossen nach wie vor eine
feindliche Haltung behaupteten und die Böotier es bei einem
von zehn zu zehn Tagen verlängerten Waffenstillstände be
wenden ließen. Rechnet man aber den ersten zehnjährigen
Krieg, die darauf folgende kritische Friedenszeit und die späteren
Kriegsjahre zusammen, so kommen bis auf wenige Tage so viel
Jahre heraus, und das ist denn in der Tat auch das einzige,
was für Leute, die noch an Orakel glauben, wirklich ein
getroffen ist. Denn ich erinnere mich noch recht gut, wie von
Anfang bis zu Ende des Krieges vielfach prophezeit wurde,
er würde dreimal neun Jahre dauern. Ich habe den ganzen
Krieg miterlebt und während meiner besten Jahre die Er
eignisse aufmerksam genug verfolgt, um genau Bescheid zu
wissen. Dazu kam, daß ich nach der Zeit meines Oberbefehls
bei Amphipolis zwanzig Jahr außer Landes leben mußte und
Gelegenheit hatte, mir die Dinge hüben und drüben anzusehen,
infolge meiner Verbannung grade auch auf peloponnestscher
Seite, und mir um so eher ein unbefangenes Urteil darüber zu
bilden. Damit wende ich mich nun zu den Streitigkeiten nach
den zehn Jahren, dem Bruch des Friedens und den weiteren
Ereignissen des Krieges.

[1] This also hath the same Thucydides of Athens written from point to point, by summers and winters, as everything came to pass, until such time as the Lacedaemonians and their confederates had made an end of the Athenian dominion and had taken their long walls and Pieraeus. To which time, from the beginning of the war, it is in all twenty-seven years.

[2] As for the composition between, if any man shall think it not to be accounted with the war, he shall think amiss. For let him look into the actions that passed as they are distinctly set down and he shall find that that deserveth not to be taken for a peace, in which they neither rendered all nor accepted all, according to the articles. Besides, in the Mantinean and Epidaurian wars and in other actions, it was on both sides infringed; moreover, the confederates on the borders of Thrace continued in hostility as before; and the Boeotians had but a truce from one ten days to another.

[3] So that with the first ten years' war, and with this doubtful cessation, and the war that followed after it, a man shall find, counting by the times, that it came to just so many years and some few days, and that those who built upon the prediction of the oracles have this number only to agree.

[4] And I remember yet that from the very beginning of this war and so on till the end it was uttered by many that it should be of thrice nine years' continuance.

[5] And for the time thereof I lived in my strength and applied my mind to gain an accurate knowledge of the same. It happened also that I was banished my country for twenty years, after my charge at Amphipolis; whereby being present at the affairs of both, and especially of the Lacedaemonians by reason of my exile, I could at leisure the better learn the truth of all that passed.

[6] The quarrels, therefore, and perturbations of the peace, after those ten years, and that which followed, according as from time to time the war was carried, I will now pursue.

[1] The history of this period has been also written by the same Thucydides, an Athenian, in the chronological order of events by summers and winters, to the time when the Lacedaemonians and their allies put an end to the Athenian empire, and took the Long Walls and Piraeus . The war had then lasted for twenty-seven years in all.

[2] Only a mistaken judgment can object to including the interval of treaty in the war. Looked at by the light of facts it cannot, it will be found, be rationally considered a state of peace, where neither party either gave or got back all that they had agreed, apart from the violations of it which occurred on both sides in the Mantinean and Epidaurian wars and other instances, and the fact that the allies in the direction of Thrace were in as open hostility as ever, while the Boeotians had only a truce renewed every ten days.

[3] So that the first ten years' war, the treacherous armistice that followed it, and the subsequent war will, calculating by the seasons, be found to make up the number of years which I have mentioned, with the difference of a few days, and to afford an instance of faith in oracles being for once justified by the event.

[4] I certainly all along remember from the beginning to the end of the war its being commonly declared that it would last thrice nine years.

[5] I lived through the whole of it, being of an age to comprehend events, and giving my attention to them in order to know the exact truth about them. It was also my fate to be an exile from my country for twenty years after my command at Amphipolis ; and being present with both parties, and more especially with the Peloponnesians by reason of my exile, I had leisure to observe affairs somewhat particularly.

[6] I will accordingly now relate the differences that arose after the ten years' war, the breach of the treaty, and the hostilities that followed.

Auch dieß hat derselbe Thukydides, Bürger von Athen,
der Ordnung nach beschrieben, wie Alles auf einander gefolgt ist, nach
Sommern und Wintern, bis die Lakedämonier und ihre Verbündeten
der Oberherrschaft der Athener ein Ende machten und die langen
Mauern und den Piräeus besetzten T Bis zu diesem Zeitpunkt
hat der Krieg im Ganzen sieben und zwanzig Jahre gedauert. Wenn
aber Einer die dazwischen fallende Vertragszeit nicht auch zum Kriege
mitgerechnet haben möchte, so wird er nicht recht urtheilen. Er möge
nur sehen, inwiefern jene Zeit sich durch die Thatsachen unterscheidet,
und er wird sinden, daß sie mit Unrecht eine Zeit des Friedens
genannt würde, da weder herausgegeben noch in Empfang genommen
wurde, was der Vertrag vorschrieb. Dazu kam auch noch der
Mantineische und der Epidaurische Krieg und andere Verstöße beiderseits.
Auch verharrten die Bundesgenossen in den Thrakischen Gränzlanden
nach wie vor in feindlicher Stellung, und die Böotier beobachteten
nur einen Waffenstillstand, der von zehn zu zehn Tagen erneuert
wurde. Mit dem zehnjährigen ersten Krieg also und der darauf fol- ¹
genden zweideutigen Waffenruhe und dem aus derselben hervorgehen- ²
den späteren Kriege wird man, um wenige Tage auf oder ab 2 7),
eben jene Zahl von Jahren finden, wenn man die Zeiten berechnet.
Und denen, welche sich au Orakelsprüche halten, ist dieß allein richtig
eingetroffen; denn ich erinnere mich, von Anfang des Krieges bis zu
seinem Ende von Vielen immer gehört zu haben, daß derselbe
dreimal neun Jahre dauern müsse. Ich selbst habe den ganzen Krieg
mit erlebt, befand mich in einsichtigeren Jahren und habe ihm ernste
Aufmerksamkeit gewidmet, so daß ich Zuverlässiges darüber wissen
kann; auch hat es sich mir ereignet, daß ich nach meinem Feldzug
gegen Amphipolis zwanzig Jahre meine Vaterstadt meiden mußte,
und so konnte ich in der Nähe der beiderseitigen Ereignisse, meiner
Verbannung wegen nämlich auch der Peloponnesischen, in Ruhe den
Gang der Dinge beobachten.

Nun will ich den nach den (ersten) zehn Jahren
eingetretenen Zwist und die Auflösung des Vertrages
erzählen, und was danach für Kriegsthaten geschehen sind.

XXVI. Le même Thucydide d’Athènes a écrit également le récit de ces événements dans l’ordre où ils se sont produits, par été et par hiver, jusqu’à l’époque où les Lacédémoniens et leurs alliés mirent fin à la domination d’Athènes et s’emparèrent des longs murs et du Pirée. La durée totale de la guerre jüsqu’à cette époque fut de vingt-sept ans. On se tromperait si on voulait en distraire l’intervalle de la trêve; car, en considérant le détail des faits, tels que je les ai exposés, on reconnaîtra que cette période ne peut pas être considérée comme un temps de paix : en effet, toutes les restitutions convenues ne furent pas faites. En dehors de ces griefs, il y eut dans la guerre de Mantinée et d’Épidaure, et dans d’autres circonstances encore, des torts réciproques; l’hostilité des alliés de l’Épithrace ne fut pas moindre¹; enfin les Béotiens n’avaient qu’un armistice de dix jours². Si donc on réunit la première guerre de dix ans, la trêve douteuse qui la suivit, et la guerre qui succéda à cette trêve, on trouvera par la supputation des temps³ le ⁴⁵⁶⁷ nombre d’années que j’ai dit et quelques jours de plus. De toutes les prédictions mises en avant au nom des oracles, ce fut la seule qui se trouva vérifiée par l’événement : car je me rappelle avoir constamment entendu dire par une foule de personnes, depuis l’origine et jusqu’à la fin de la guerre, qu’elle devait durer trois fois neuf ans. J’ai traversé toute cette guerre, dans un âge où l’intelligence a toute sa force, et j’ai appliqué ma pensée à en connaître exactement les circonstances. Exilé de ma patrie pendant vingt ans, après mon expédition d’Amphipolis, témoin des événements chez les deux peuples, et surtout auprès des Péloponnésiens, à cause de mon exil, j’ai pu en prendre à loisir une plus exacte connaissance. Je vais donc raconter les différends qui s’élevèrent après les dix ans de guerre, la rupture de la trêve et les hostilités qui suivirent.

Le même Thucydide, citoyen d’Athènes, a continué la relation des événements dans l’ordre où ils ont eu lieu, par étés et par hivers, jusqu’au moment où les Lacédémoniens et leurs alliés renversèrent définitivement la domination d’Athènes et s’emparèrent du Pirée et des longs murs ¹. La durée totale de la guerre jusqu’à cette époque fut de vingt-sept ans. On aurait tort d'en retrancher l'intervalle de la trêve. Il suffit d'envisager la succession des faits pour reconnaître cju’on ne saurait avec raison donner le nom de paix à un état de choses dans lequel ne furent faites de part ni d’autre toutes les resti· tution» convenue»; dan» lequel les deux parties eurent, bien de» reproches à s'adresser, par exemple à l’occasioil· de la guerre deMantinée et d’Épidaure²; dans lequel enfin lea alliés du littoral de la Thrace ne posèrent point les armes, et les Béotiens ne se lièrent que par des armistices de dix jours³. Si donc à la première guerre· de dix ans on réunit la fausse paix qui la suivit et la guerre qui vint ensuite, on. trouvera le nombre d’années que j’ai indiqué et quelques jours en sus. De toutes les assertions qui reposaient sur des oracles, ce fut la seule que l’événement justifia; je me souviens que, dès l’origine de cette guerre, et pendant sa durée, plusieurs personnes annonçaient qu’elle devait se prolonger trois fois neuf ans.

Quant à moi, j’ai assisté à toute sa durée, jouissant de la plénitude de mes facultés et donnant une attention soutenue au spectacle que j’avais sous les yeux. J’ai passé vingt années loin de ma patrie, à la suite de mon commandement d’Amphi-poiis⁴. Mêlé aux affaires des deux partis , j’ai dû à mon exil de voir de plus près celles du Péloponèse, et à mes loisirs de mieux étudier les faits. Je vais donc rapporter les événements qui succédèrent à cette première guerre de dix hnnées, la rupture de la trêve et la reprise des hostilités.

[1] ¹ The history of these events, also, has been written by the same Thucydides, an Athenian, in the chronological order of events, by summers and winters, up to the time when the Lacedaemonians and their allies put an end to the dominion of the Athenians and took the Long Walls and Peiraeus.² Up to that event the war lasted twenty-seven years in all;

[2] and if anyone shall not deem it proper to include the intervening truce in the war, he will not judge aright. For let him but look at the question in the light of the facts as they have been set forth³ and he will find that that can not fitly be judged a state of peace in which neither party restored or received all that had been agreed upon. And, apart from that, there were violations of the treaty on both sides in the Mantinean and Epidaurian wars,⁴ as well as in other matters; the allies in Thrace, too, were no less hostile to Athens than before, and the Boeotians observed a truce which had to be renewed every ten days.

[3] So that, including the first ten-years' war, the suspicious truce succeeding that, and the war which followed the truce, one will find that, reckoning according to natural seasons, there were just so many years as I have stated, and some few days over. He will also find, in the case of those who have made any assertion in reliance upon oracles, that this fact alone proved true;

[4] for always, as I remember, from the beginning of the war until its close, it was said by many that it was fated to last thrice nine years.

[5] I lived through the whole war, being of an age to form judgments, and followed it with close attention, so as to acquire accurate information. It befell me also to be banished from my own country for twenty years after my command at Amphipolis,⁵ and being conversant with affairs on both sides, especially with those of the Peloponnesians by reason of my banishment, to gain at my leisure a better acquaintance with the course of events.

[6] The difference, then, which arose after the ten years, and the breaking of the truce and the subsequent hostilities, I will now proceed to relate.

[1] And the same Thucydides the Athenian has also written the history of these transactions in order, as they severally happened, by summers and winters, until the Lacedaemonians and their allies put an end to the sovereignty of the Athenians, and took the long walls and Piraeus. To the time of that event there were spent in the war seven and twenty years in all. With regard to the intervening arrangement, if any one shall object to consider it as a state of war, he will not estimate it rightly.

[2] For let him ¹ regard it as it is characterized by the facts of the case, and he will find that there is no reason for its being deemed a state of peace; since during it they neither gave nor received back all they had arranged to do; and besides this, there were offences committed on both sides, as in the case of the Mantinean and Epidaurian wars, and other instances; and the Thrace-ward allies were in no respect less at war than before; while the Boeeotians had only a truce from one ten days to another.

[3] Including, therefore, the first war of ten years, the suspicious cessation of hostilities which followed it, and the subsequent war which succeeded to that, any one will find that the number of years was what I have mentioned, (reckoning by the great divisions of time,) with only a few days' difference; and that such as positively asserted any thing on the strength of oracles, found this the only fact which proved true.

[4] At least I, for my own part, remember that all along, both at the beginning of the war, and till it was brought to a conclusion, it was alleged by many that it was to last thrice nine years.

[5] And I lived on through the whole of it, being of an age to comprehend events, and paying attention, in order to gain accurate knowledge on each point. It was also my lot to be banished my country twenty years after my command at Amphipolis; and thus, by being present at the transactions of either party, and especially of the Peloponnesians, in consequence of my banishment, to gain at my leisure a more perfect acquaintance with each of them.

[6] The difference, then, which arose after the ten years, and the breaking up of the treaty, and the subsequent course of hostilities, I will now relate.

[1] Atque haec quoque idem Thucydides Atheniensis, prout quaeque gesta sunt, per aestates et hiemes ordine conscripsit, eo usque, donec Lacedaemonii eorumque socii Atheniensibus imperium eripuerunt, et longos muros et Piraeeum ceperunt. Anni autem istius belli huc usque fuerunt in summa septem et viginti.

[2] Quod si quis compositionem, quae intercessit, belli spatio non adseribendam putant, is haud recte judicaverit. Haec enim ipsis rebus gestis quomodo disjuncta sint spectet, et repperiet non esse consentaneum eam judicari pacem, in qua neque reddiderunt neque receperunt omnia, de quibus convenerat, et praeter haec utrique peccarunt in Mantinensi et Epidaurio bello, et in aliis, et socii, qui erant in Thracia, nihilominus hostes erant, et Boeoti decemdiales inducias agebant.

[3] Itaque conjuncto primo decenni bello et suspectis post illud induciis et insecuto has posteriore bello tot quis annos, quot dixi, repperiet,arteinpora computet, et dies praetere· pauco· in discrimine positos, et ex iis, qui aliquid ex oraculis affirmarunt, hoc unam eventum fidem eorum non fefellisse;

[5] Superstes autem fui per totum bellum et cognoscens pro aetate, et animum diligenter advertens, ut aliquid certi scirem; et accidit mihi, ut post praeturam ad Amphipolin gestam patria anoos viginti exsularem, et ul, quod apud utrosque fuerim, maximeque apud Peloponnesios propter exsilium, facilius aliquanto res gestas per otium cognoverim.

Il medesimo Tucidide Ateniese ha pur descritto Ordinatamente per estati e per inverni come ciascun fatto avvenne, sino a che i Lacedemoni con gli alleati distraisero il dominio di Atene , e occuparono le mura lunghe e il Pireo. Fino a questo tempo gli anni della guerra furono in tutti ventisette. Che se alcuno pretenderà non dover» stimar guerra là convenzione che fa di mezzo , noti giudicherà dirittamente ; imperciocché se l' esaminerà secondo Ì fatti da me dichiarati troverà irragionevole che si chiami pace quell’accordo in cui non restituirono nè riebbero tutto quello di che avevano convenuto. Di più, lasciando anche stare la guerra di Mantinea e di Epidauro, intervennero da ambe le parti non pochi torti in altre occasioni, e gli alleati di Tracia non intermessero punto le ostilità? ed i Beozii tennero armistizio soli dieci giorni. Onde comprendendo la prima guerra dei dieci anni, la sospettosa tregua che la segui, e l’altra guerra succedutane, si troverà secondo il computo delle stagioni esser corsi tanti anni quanti ho detto di sopra colla giunta di pochi giorni , e questa esser la sola via , onde quei che si attengono alle predizioni degli oracoli, le veggano con sicurezza avverate negli eventi. Ed io mi rammento che dal principio 6no al termine di questa guerra continovameute da molti si pre dicava che ella durerebbe tre volte nove anni. Ora avendo io vissuto tutto il tempo clie ella durò, e trovandomi colla mente sana nel vigor dell’età, vi applicava il mio animo per averne esatta contezza. Fui inoltre per venti anni bandito dalla patria dopo il generalato di Amfipoli ; per lo che essendo preseute agli aflari di ambe le parti, e più anche a quelli dei Peloponnesi ove io viveva in esilio, mi è venuto fatto in quell’ozio di averne più certa notizia. Racconterò pertanto la rottura dopo i dieci anni, le torbidezze della tregua, e gli andamenti della guerra che ne conseguito.
