My name is Thucydides. I was born in Alimos Greece between the years 460 and 455 B.C. and passed on between the years 411 and 400 B.C. I was known for the book that I sort of wrote which was called History of the Peloponnesian war which covered the details of the war between Sparta and Athens. I apparently died while in the middle of one of my sentences in the book, no one knows how I died, I whent out with great achievements such as these quotes!
"War is the teacher of violence" -Thucydides
"The secret to happiness is freedom and the secret to freedom is courage" - Thucydides
"We Greeks are lovers of the beautiful, yet simple in our tastes, and we cultivate the mind without loss of manliness"-Thucydides
"When will there be justice in Athens? There will be justice when those who are not injured are as outraged as those who are"- Thucydides
"Things exist for people, not people for things"- Thucydides
