Book 7.18 and Book 8 of Thucydides' Peloponnesian War

We continue our readings on Alcibiades by reading the following:

section 7.18 of Thucydides' Peloponnesian War (Book VII, section 18)
book VIII of Thucydides' Peloponnesian War

Alcibiades only appears in 7.18 (feel free to read the entirety of Book VII if you wish)

Previously in Thucydides:

Alcibiades has fled the sentence of death laid upon him by the Athenian democracy. He has fled to Sparta, and started working with the Spartan regime.
