Thucydides: The Peloponnesian War Book II (Cambr Idge Greek and Latin Classics) : Rusten, J. S.: desertcart.in: Books Review: This customer review is long overdue, since my students and I have been using this book since it first came out. I call it a gift to mankind. The introduction is a jewel and the grammatical help it gives on some of the most difficult Greek we have is invaluable. I cannot wait until Rusten's commentary on Thucydides I. Review: A 'must have' book for every student of Thucydides.

Professor Rusten nearly equals Clyde Pharr in his presentation of Book II. The only advantage which Rusten does not provide is a vocabulary list. Commentary is helpful, if in the form of end notes, and fairly thorough. He presents a useful text for students of Attic Greek and to instructors of Thucydides. Either as an advanced [very] undergraduate Greek course or as part of an introductory graduate one, Rusten's edition is a valuable adjunct to the Loeb or the OCT in conjunction with the Crawley translation or the Landmark volume.
