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. 410 0$aJoan Palevsky imprint in classical literature. 606 $aStatesmen$zGreece$zAthens$vBiography 606 $aOrators$zGreece$zAthens$vBiography 607 $aAthens (Greece)$xHistory 615 0$aStatesmen 615 0$aOrators 676 $a938/.505092 700 $aTracy$b Stephen V.$f1941-$0154083 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9911088157103321 996 $aPericles$91112937 997 $aUNINA
