Resumen: Este trabajo indaga sobre la pertinencia del concepto de “guerra total” aplicado a la Guerra del Peloponeso. Se observa una falta de consenso entre los especialistas modernos respecto de lo que hace que una guerra sea considerada total. Por tanto, aquí se proponen tres condiciones necesarias y suficientes para denominar a un conflicto bélico como guerra total. Se concluye, por un lado, que la Guerra del Peloponeso cumplió solo en parte con esas condiciones. Por otro, que la tendencia entre los helenistas es la comparación constante con las dos guerras mundiales que asolaron al siglo XX. Esto último distorsiona el análisis y compromete la capacidad explicativa del concepto.
Abstract: This article delves into the relevance of the concept of “total war” as it is applied to the Peloponnesian War. In so doing, it is noticed a lack of consensus among contemporary scholar in regards to what is required for a war to be considered as total. Therefore, I here advance three sufficient and necessary conditions to deem a warlike conflict as total war. My conclusion, on the one hand, is that the Peloponnesian War fulfilled only part of those conditions. On the other, I hold that the tendency among Hellenists is to constantly compare the two World Wars that ravaged the 20th-century. This distorts the analysis and hampers the explanatory capacity of the concept.
