More clearly than any previous work on the subject, Michael
Palmer's Love of Glory and the Common Good defines the relationship
between Periclean democracy and the decline in Athenian political
life that followed the death of Pericles. The author elaborates
upon the views of Thucydides, who saw the subsequent tyrannical
rule of Alcibiades and the accompanying disintegration of Athenian
political life as a logical consequence of the defects in the
speeches and deeds that Pericles used to inspire the Athenian
people. With careful attention to details in the order and
structure of Thucydides' narrative, Palmer shows this historian as
a political thinker of the first rank who deserves the same careful
study accorded to Plato and Aristotle.
