I'm the least fanciful guy around, but on nights when I wonder whether there was any point to my day, I think about this: The first thing we ever did, when we started turning into humans, was draw a line across the cave door and say: "wild stays out."

These logoi have the deeper purpose of supporting the logos that Pericles was “the model leader with the perfect plan for victory in a contest that could not be avoided” (38). The logoi to which Luginbill refers are Thucydides’ analyses of human nature, reason and emotion, freedom and the desire to rule, chance and necessity, hope and fear, and national character (24-35). Fascination with and concentration on his logoi would allow his true purpose, his true logos, to escape notice, even as it was being embraced” (23). “By assuming an objective stance, and leaving it to the reader to draw the indicated conclusions, Thucydides as good as guaranteed that those conclusions would not be seen as intrinsically his truth. Moreover, he argues that Thucydides’ aim is to trick us into agreement with these views. In his view, Thucydides’ book leads us inexorably to the conclusion that “Pericles had been completely right and vindicated by events…” (21). ![]() ![]() Robert Luginbill’s main thesis is that Thucydides’ History was conceived and executed with the aim of exculpating the Athenian general Pericles of any blame for Athens’ defeat in the Peloponnesian War. ![]() ![]() ![]() What began as a sensible arrangement now has the possibility to become so much more.

![]() The story itself, however, is hopelessly bungled in that Wallace starts with a mystery about a special kind of steel developed and people falling out over the right to produce it. Nevertheless, he is a sensualist, a self-serving criminal, a liar and a bully as well, and there were times when Wallace’s creation reminded me of Quilp, the villainous dwarf in Dickens’s The Old Curiosity Shop. to read their souls and put them into music, and he is also a master of disguise.
