After the peace and league made between the Lacedaemonians and Athenians after the ten years' war, Pleistolas being ephore at Lacedaemon and Alcaeus archon of Athens, though there were peace to those that had accepted it, yet the Corinthians and some cities of Peloponnesus endeavoured to overthrow what was done, and presently arose another stir by the confederates against Lacedaemon. And the Lacedaemonians also after a while became suspect onto the Athenians for not performing somewhat agreed on in the articles. And for six years and ten months they abstained from entering into each other's territories with their arms; but the peace being weak, they did each other abroad what harm they could, and in the end were forced to dissolve the peace made after those ten years, and fell again into open war.
This also hath the same Thucydides of Athens written from point to point, by summers and winters, as everything came to pass, until such time as the Lacedaemonians and their confederates had made an end of the Athenians dominion and had taken their long walls and Pieraeus. To which time, from the beginning of the war, it is in all twenty-seven years.*
– from The Peloponnesian War as written by Thucydides (5th century BC) and translated by Thomas Hobbes (1628) and edited by David Grene (1959)
*This indicates that Thucydides lived to the end of the war. We do not know how much longer he lived after. There is a story that he was executed by the Thirty Tyrants, the oligarchic government installed by the Lacedaemonians in Athens in 404-403. The History breaks off in Book viii, when dealing with the events following 411. Thucydides may have had notes for the progress of the war from then till the capture of Athens, but being busy with the revision and final draft of the rest of the work, and particularly Books i-iv, he was unable to give final shape to the last part and so did not leave it in form for publication.
