What role can be attributed to suffering and pain in the Thucydidean reading of history? Although the historian does not seem to have devoted any specific reflection to the theme of suffering and pain, he has not failed in a direct or implicit way, and without any moralism, to make evident the burden of suffering and pain associated with war. Often encapsulated in the almost plastic depiction of events and situations, the incidence of pain in the experience of social actors, individuals or communities, can be fully included among the main themes of the Thucydidean work.
Quale ruolo può essere attribuito alla sofferenza e al dolore nella lettura tucididea della storia? Benché lo storico non sembri aver dedicato alcuna riflessione specifica al tema della sofferenza e del dolore, egli non ha mancato in modo diretto o implicito, e senza alcun moralismo, di rendere evidente il carico di sofferenza e dolore connesso alla guerra. Enucleabile anche solo dalla raffigurazione quasi plastica di eventi e situazioni, l’incidenza del dolore nell’esperienza degli attori sociali, siano essi singoli individui o comunità civiche, può essere inserita a pieno titolo fra le tematiche principali dell’opera.

Abstract
What role can be attributed to suffering and pain in the Thucydidean reading of history? Although the historian does not seem to have devoted any specific reflection to the theme of suffering and pain, he has not failed in a direct or implicit way, and without any moralism, to make evident the burden of suffering and pain associated with war. Often encapsulated in the almost plastic depiction of events and situations, the incidence of pain in the experience of social actors, individuals or communities, can be fully included among the main themes of the Thucydidean work.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
