A Conversation with Dr. Maas on Thucydides — Rice Historical Review

"We should respect Thucydides’ objectivity and his relentless effort to record the facts correctly. We also have to respect the fact that he is working with the data he has so painstakingly assembled. He is not simply stating that the facts speak for themselves, and he points the facts in the direction that he thinks can best illuminate his analysis. He seeks objectivity and also seeks honesty.
