Thucydides was an Athenian noble born around 455 B.C. whose antecedents could be traced back to the great Peisitratus and Cimon. In 424 B.C., Thucydides was in command of naval forces attempting to defend Amphipolis in Thrace. Although unsuccessful through no fault of his own, his enemies in Athens blamed him for failure and engineered his exile. It was a fortunate event, for it was upon this accident of history that Thucydides gained the opportunity to become the chronicler of events in Greece. In complete contrast to the furious passions which raged around him, he described events with a cool detachment and an absolute impartiality that is little short of miraculous. He is believed to have died violently, perhaps while writing, in about 400 B.C. His manuscript simply breaks off in mid paragraph.

“His manuscript simply breaks off in mid paragraph.”
It reads, ‘He who is valiant and pure of spirit may find the Holy Grail in the Castle of aaarrrrggh’.

ssafe - that’s brilliant.
Thanks again, Euripides.

That is morbidly hilarious, especially in light of his having died an apparently violent death. That bit of information on the Audible site was new to me though. I’ve never read anything about his death, violent or otherwise.

Don’t know whether it’s the awful robotic narration or the poor bitrate but this is unlistenable. Euripides choice of books is great, but they deserve much better treatment.

jonesinfrance’s taste in books is great,
but the hero uploaders desereve much better treatment then unconstructive whining.
The person who shares a file is not involved in the production and not always the ones compressing & ripping the books.
Thanks Euripides
