Οἶκτος e ἔλεος: contesti della ‘compassione’ nell’opera storica di Tucidide
2018
Overview
In this paper we examine the contexts in which Thucydides uses the Greek terms οἶκτος and ἔλεος, commonly translated with ‘pity’ or ‘compassion’. The lexical analysis aims at identifying the role, both positive and negative, that compassion plays within the historical work. Through also a comparison with the contemporary tradition to the History of the Peloponnesian War, historiographical information about Thucydides’ thinking on Athenian imperialism will be provided. I will also highlight the logic used in war by the Athenian and Spartan armies.
