I took a short course in Thucydides this summer. Thucydides is the most
challenging Attic prose out there. He is insanely hard to read, even
for experienced readers. I would recommend an easier introduction.
For whatever its worth,

Assuming one wanted to make some rapid headway in Attic would
Thucydides be helpful reading material? I have been looking over the
opening lines of Thucydides History and wondering if this would be
something worth reading. Is Thucydides representative of Attic prose
syntax?
I am not too concerned about the difference between Thucydides and
the NT greek which I assume would be substantial.
