Scholars have analysed in-depth the famous  three greatest things  linking Thomas Hobbes and Thucydides. As is well known, the ideas of  fear ,  honour  and  profit  – that is,  timé ,  déos  (and  phóbos ) and  opheléia  (or  opheléia ) – play a fundamental role in showing the latter’s influences on the former. With particular regard to  ophelía  it has been suggested that it has to be conceived ‘as economic advantage or interest’ [Slomp Gabriella, ‘Hobbes, Thucydides and the Three Greatest Things’,  History of Political Thought  11 (1990): 565–86]. Since Thucydides’ lexicon uses several words in addition to  opheléia  to express the idea of  profit , the essay, through a comparative lexical analysis of the original Greek text and its Hobbesian translation, will take these into consideration, in order to find out if they can provide us with elements capable of widening the above definition. All this to better clarify the notion of  profit , a notion that is truly crucial in Hobbes’ political thought.
