Marcellinus was the author of a Life of Thucydides , found in some of the ancient commentaries on the History of the Peloponnesian War by Thucydides . Nothing else is known for certain about this Marcellinus, but he probably lived in about the 6th century, and compiled his biography from passages in early writers, adding his own observations. Because he lived so long after Thucydides, the statements of Marcellinus must be treated with caution unless they are supported by other evidence. ref There is an http williambarclayallen.com translations Life of Thucydides.pdf online translation of a Life of Thucydides by W.B.

Athenagoras of Syracuse an elusive character who is only commented on in Thucydides 6.36 40 . The context of his speech in Thucydides is 415 BC , during the Peloponnesian War , when Athens was about to invade Sicily . He denies the invasion, rudely retorting to Hermocrates speech that no invasion was imminent. The basic outline of his speech is as follows The Athenians who were already fighting a war against Sparta would not want two equally large wars on their hands Highlighting the strength of Syracuse and Sicily Scaring the population of Syracuse to gain power aimed at Hermocrates In any state the wise should rule using both sides of the argument contrasting between the oligarchs and masses Difference between an oligarchy and a democracy Again highlighting strength of Syracuse Harvey Yunis , in an article in the American Journal of Philology , argues a number of points about the speech As if to leave no doubt about the iron of Athenagoras fraudulent democratic rhetoric, Thucydides reports that following the debate the Syracusan assembly was prevented from making any decision at all. 193 In the case of Athenagoras we are shown a politician who virtually succeeds in turning a deliberation assembly into a mob 194 Athenagoras dismisses the invasion issue and seeks to inflame passions by gratuitously raising the spectre of an oligarchic revolt 194 . ref Yunis, Harvey.
