This passes easily and I won't beat about the bush. I'm familiar with Thucydides and the Peloponnesian War so I already knew about this siege and its shameful aftermath. The article is very well written and taken from impeccable sources. It is concise, entirely within scope and to the point. It's very good. Well done.
