La ricostruzione che Diodoro offre della guerra del Peloponneso mostra evidenti rapporti con la tradizione di Tucidide e di Senofonte. Tuttavia, notizie uniche e linee di tendenza autonome sono presenti nel racconto dello storico di Agirio e risalgono a una tradizione alternativa. Il contributo intende indagare il rapporto fra Diodoro e i suoi predecessori scegliendo come case-study la vicenda di Alcibiade.

Abstract
The reconstruction Diodorus offers of the Peloponnesian War shows obvious relationships with the tradition of Thucydides and Xenophon. However, unique pieces of information are present in the Diodorus' account and trace back to an alternative tradition. The contribution aims to investigate the relationship between Diodorus and his predecessors by choosing the story of Alcibiades as a case-study. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
