Thucydides' Death
There is no concrete evidence regarding the death of Thucydides. According to Pausanias, an Athenian named Oenobius created a law for Thucydides' return after Athens' surrender in 404 BC, claiming that Thucydides was murdered en route back to Athens. However, there are doubts about this account, as it is suggested that he lived until approximately 397 BC. Plutarch states that Thucydides' remains were returned to Athens and were interred in Cimon’s family vault.
