Pericles and the Golden Age of Athens by Evelyn Abbott explores the life, leadership, and historical significance of Pericles, the Athenian statesman whose career coincided with one of the most remarkable periods in Ancient Greek history. Abbott places Pericles within the political and military history of fifth-century Athens, examining the rise of Athenian democracy, the expansion of the Athenian Empire, the rivalry between Athens and Sparta, and the events surrounding the Peloponnesian War. The book also illuminates the extraordinary cultural achievements of Classical Athens, an age associated with figures such as Socrates, Sophocles, Phidias, and other thinkers and artists who helped make Athens a center of Greek civilization. For readers interested in Pericles, Ancient Greece, Classical Greece, Athenian democracy, Greek history, and the civilization known as the Golden Age of Athens, Abbott's work provides an accessible historical portrait of the statesman and the city whose political and cultural influence shaped the ancient world.
