Book Synopsis The Cambridge Companion to the Age of Pericles by : Loren J. Samons II
Download or read book The Cambridge Companion to the Age of Pericles written by Loren J. Samons II and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2007-01-15 with total page 25 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mid-fifth-century Athens saw the development of the Athenian empire, the radicalization of Athenian democracy through the empowerment of poorer citizens, the adornment of the city through a massive and expensive building program, the classical age of Athenian tragedy, the assembly of intellectuals offering novel approaches to philosophical and scientific issues, and the end of the Spartan-Athenian alliance against Persia and the beginning of open hostilities between the two greatest powers of ancient Greece. The Athenian statesman Pericles both fostered and supported many of these developments. Although it is no longer fashionable to view Periclean Athens as a social or cultural paradigm, study of the history, society, art, and literature of mid-fifth-century Athens remains central to any understanding of Greek history. This collection of essays reveal the political, religious, economic, social, artistic, literary, intellectual, and military infrastructure that made the Age of Pericles possible.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Age of Pericles, Vol. 2: A History of the Politics and Arts of Greece From the Persian to the Peloponnesian War Neither the allies, who with hearty good will had conceded to Athens the control of defensive operations against Persia, nor the Spartans who had acquiesced in it, had anticipated how unchecked an authority the Athenian demus was des tined to acquire in consequence, and how resolutely it would be asserted. This was something very different, as now consolidated, from the relation which Sparta was contented with towards her peculiar allies; the partition of control over Hellas had consequently ceased to be on equal terms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Age of Pericles, Vol. 2: A History of the Politics and Arts of Greece From the Persian to the Peloponnesian War By the ostracism of Cimon, a party was secured in power at Athens which was not only bent on farther serious constitutional changes, but was prepared to carry through a more important reversal of external policy than had been known in Hellas since the conclusion of the great contest with Persia. This was nothing less than a distinct rupture of friendly relations with Sparta. Events had long been tending in this direction, and inducements were not wanting to precipitate a conclusion that sooner or later must be inevitable. Neither the allies, who with hearty good will had conceded to Athens the control of defensive operations against Persia, nor the Spartans who had acquiesced in it, had anticipated how unchecked an authority the Athenian demus was destined to acquire in consequence, and how resolutely it would be asserted.

Book Synopsis Athens in the Age of Pericles by : Charles Alexander Robinson
Download or read book Athens in the Age of Pericles written by Charles Alexander Robinson and published by University of Oklahoma Press. This book was released on 1959 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The challenge of Periclean Athens to the students of civilizations is unmistakable: the city and its empire reached a level of culture and well-being scarcely paralleled in the history of man elsewhere. And like the characters in a Greek tragedy, the city and its leaders and citizens were busy in their time of glory making provision for their own tragic decline. "I have tried to suggest in general terms," says the author, "the meaning of Periclean Athens, addressing my interpretation to laymen. . . With the increasing mass of specialized research on ancient Athens, it is imperative to catch a general notion of the significance of the whole. . . The result is a picture of a complex society, as any great civilization is bound to be, with its magnificent achievements and its faults." This first volume in The Centers of Civilization Series does indeed give a clear picture of Athenian civilization, its literature, philosophy, and political and judicial writing; its painting, sculpture, architecture, music, and drama; and even the arts of war. Above all, the book suggests to modern readers the supreme importance of decision in all of man's affairs, and the frightful consequences of wrong decision, once it is made.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Age of Pericles, Vol. 1: A History of the Politics and Arts of Greece From the Persian to the Peloponnesian War Again, as even Thucydides somewhat deviates in his sum mary, brief as it is, from his declared intention to adhere to chronological sequence, the modems have for the most part carried the deviation further, and declining to deal with what hints of order of time are salient, to say nothing of others that if obscure are discoverable and are ever the more valu able as more scanty, have been content to supplement political narrative a little at random by chapters that group and classify rather than arrange historically the characteristics of the age.

Book Synopsis Pericles of Athens by : Vincent Azoulay
Download or read book Pericles of Athens written by Vincent Azoulay and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2017-10-31 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The definitive biography of the legendary "first citizen of Athens" Pericles has the rare distinction of giving his name to an entire period of history, embodying what has often been taken as the golden age of the ancient Greek world. "Periclean" Athens witnessed tumultuous political and military events, and achievements of the highest order in philosophy, drama, poetry, oratory, and architecture. Pericles of Athens is the first book in decades to reassess the life and legacy of one of the greatest generals, orators, and statesmen of the classical world. In this compelling critical biography, Vincent Azoulay takes a fresh look at both the classical and modern reception of Pericles, recognizing his achievements as well as his failings. From Thucydides and Plutarch to Voltaire and Hegel, ancient and modern authors have questioned Pericles’s relationship with democracy and Athenian society. This is the enigma that Azoulay investigates in this groundbreaking book. Pericles of Athens offers a balanced look at the complex life and afterlife of the legendary "first citizen of Athens."
