I'll only weigh in this far on the objectivity debate.
A very wise professor of mine always said aim for authenticity not objectivity. I still don't understand exactly what she meant, but she did claim that the objective-subjective dichotomy was, for humans, inadequate. We are always to strive for truth and authenticity in accordance with Biblical moral standards.
I don't know what she meant exactly, but I think she was getting at something.

Thanks, I do know about the Peloponnesian war, so that is something anyway. I suppose the book is written from the Athenian point of view rather than the Spartan. Which begs the question, was Thucydides objective in his history? We go full circle, there.
