Essay from the year 2008 in the subject History - Early and Ancient History, printed single-sided, grade: 1,7, National University of Ireland, Maynooth (Department of History), course: The Idea of History, language: English, comment: Der folgende Essay behandelt eine der ersten nachweislich dokumentierten journalistischen Berichterstattung im antiken Griechenland - die Aufarbeitung des Peloponnesischen Krieges um 400 v.
