Product description

Pericles (around 490 bc - 429), is the person who ruled athens during its golden age when its power, prosperity, and influence were at their peak.

during this period between the wars of persia and the peloponnesian wars, the city has ensured that it is the center of cultural developments that will reach far distances in geography and time, especially in science, philosophy, sculpture, architecture and theater. Even today, he has had the parthenon, which is admired, built.

it has changed the second-class international position of the city and made it become the richest and most powerful state in the region.

Anaxagoras, a leader of the sophists, the most intellectual people of the period, pericles, who gained the ability to reason based on knowledge by studying with philosophers such as the famous thinker socrates, has risen in politics by using this ability to convince the masses.

his unique success in avoiding situations that could put him in a difficult position by acting dignified and moderate in all his dealings with people has also contributed greatly to his political position.

by supporting political, financial and administrative measures that will allow the poor segments of the population to participate in the city's public duty mechanism and decision-making process at the expense of not coming against the interests of the class from which he/she comes, he/she has deepened the city's democracy.

but it has not shown the same democratic approach to other greek cities. The attica-delos alliance, which originated from the wars of the persians, has become a tool of the imperial sea power vision of athens, which has risen to a kind of empire stage, and has ruthlessly crushed the cities of the alliance members that rebelled against it. One of the most important principles in politics is never to trust sparta.

he convinced fellow citizens who did not want to clash with other greeks and became the primary factor in the beginning of the peloponnesian war, which lasted for nearly thirty years.

however, he died during this war, and his city was defeated, losing first its glory and then its independence. It has been necessary for two thousand years for the ancient athens to be rediscovered by western thinkers and to become an object of admiration. In this book, the ancient greek expert academician thomas r. martin explains the reasons for this attitude, which is also reflected in the present by the representative of the city's golden age.
