Pericles, Greece's greatest statesman and the leader of its Golden
Age, created the Parthenon and championed democracy in Athens and
beyond. Centuries of praise have endowed him with the powers of a
demigod, but what did his friends, associates, and fellow citizens
think of him? In "Pericles: A Sourcebook and Reader, "Stephen V.
Tracy visits the fifth century B.C. to find out. Tracy compiles and
translates the scattered, elusive primary sources relating to
Pericles. He brings Athens's political atmosphere to life with
archaeological evidence and the accounts of those close to
Pericles, including Thucydides, Aristophanes, Herodotus,
Protagoras, Sophocles, Lysias, Xenophon, Plato, and Plutarch.
Readers will discover Pericles as a formidable politician, a
persuasive and inspiring orator, and a man full of human
contradictions.
