Excerpt from An Odious Comparison, Vol. 18 When Herodotus called Athens the Savior of Greece, the Peloponnesian War had already begun, and he felt it necessary to preface his eulogy with these words: Here I am compelled by the facts to express an opinion which will be offensive to most of mankind. And Thucydides makes the hatred against Athens still clearer: The feeling of mankind was strongly on the side of the Spartans, for they were now the avowed liberators of Hellas. Cities and individuals were eager to assist them to the utmost both by word and deed. In general the indignation against the Athenians was intense, some were trying to be delivered from them and others fearful of falling under their sway.
