| Sumario: | Abstract: This article deals with the representation of piracy addressed by Thucydides. He refers to the spread of piracy among ancient Greeks and barbarians while also relating the decrease of this practice with the idea of progress in Athens. He also refers to the socioeconomical aspect of piracy in ancient Greece, picturing it as another source of sustenance, while referring to its moral connotations during this period. As for piracy in his own time during the Peloponnesian War, Thucydides emphasizes the prevalence of pirate activity in the Fifth century B.C. and its use as war strategy by the Spartans. Thucydides observations and portraits of warfare come from his personal experience with naval endeavors, therefore they allow a better understanding of pirate navigation. |
