Thucydides (460-400 BCE)
"There is no need to talk about what happened long ago: there our evidence would be that of hearsay rather than that of eyewitnesses amongst our audience."
- History of the Peloponnesian War (Book I, section 73) by Thucydides, translated by Rex Warner (Penguin Classics, 1972).
