Athens and Sparta at War and Thucydides without the trap
Today we consider Athens and Sparta as enemies, not simply from 431 BC onwards, but the earlier, less remembered Peloponnesian Wars.

Near the end, we consider the oft-mentioned idea of a 'Thucydides' trap' and question the validity of this interpretation.
