Periclean Athens

Pericles, c Son of Xanthippus, Athenian general in 479. Mother was niece of Alcmaeonid Cleisthenes. Financial backer of Aeschylus’ Persians in 472.

Pericles the Radical Democrat Political ally of radical Ephialtes, and opponent of conservative Cimon. Crisis of late 460s: –ostracism of pro-Spartan Cimon in 462; –constitutional reform taking powers from Areopagus in 461; –murder of Ephialtes in c Opposition of Thucydides son of Melesias. Ostracism of Thucydides in c. 443.

The Domination of Pericles ‘In what was nominally a democracy, power was really in the hands of the first citizen’ (Thucydides the historian, 2.65). Pericles was elected general every year from 443/2 to 429/8. Likened to Olympian Zeus by Aristophanes and other comic playwrights. Criticism of association with Aspasia of Miletus.

The Funeral Speech Speech delivered by Pericles in honour of the war dead of the first year of the Peloponnesian War. Known only from Thucydides’ version. Concentrates on praising Athens’ democratic way of life. Implied criticism of Sparta. How far does the Funeral Speech present a true picture of Athenian society?
