      About This Book

      From the peaceful summits of Delphi to the political turmoil that spawned democracy, the story of Athens becomes a paradigm, if not a photocopy predicting the history of western civilization. To understand Pericles, who lived its dreams, is a lesson in forbearance for our own time. Guts and imagination built "the glory that was Greece." Despite war and plague, defeat and disaster, an idea was born that is still the hope of mankind.
