Pericles: The Rise and Fall of Athenian Democracy

By Hamish Aird

Book Overview

After the defeat of the Persians in the early fifth century BC, Athens became one of the most prosperous of the Greek city-states, and under the leadership of Pericles it entered a golden age of art, poetry, and architecture. Its imperial ambitions, however, undermined democracy as it came to dominate much of Greece, until the Spartans conquered the city.
