«Peloponneserkrigen» omhandler krigen mellom Sparta og Athen i årene 431-404 f.Kr. Verket regnes som et av høydepunktene i gresk prosakunst. Thukydides, som selv hadde deltatt som athensk feltherre i krigen, gir ikke bare en kronologisk fremstilling av stoffet, men søker også sammenhengen i begivenhetene, dvs. årsaker og virkninger. Han forsøker å vise de handlendes motiver og, bakenfor motivene, de dypere krefter som gjør seg gjeldende. Viktig i denne sammenheng er hans refleksjoner av psykologisk og politisk-filosofisk art over menneskene og staten: I begge tilfeller fremhever han hvorledes alt er drevet at en hensynsløs vilje til makt og begjær efter å oppnå egen fordel. Til tross for den objektive fremstillingsform merker man Thukydides¿ varme engasjement for Perikles, Athens store statsmann, og for den blanding av demokrati og aristokratisk styreform som Perikles stod for.
