Perikles and his Circle. - PODLECKI, A.J.,
KORTE INHOUD
?Pericles continues to fascinate. (?) Podlecki?s book provides a thorough review of the evidence for Pericles? life and activity. The chapters march in orderly fashion through life, his first appearance as choregus for Aeschylus? Persians, philosophical influences, the political events from the 460s to the 440s, his relation to Phidias and Aspasia, the war with Samos, and the Peloponnesian War, while appendices give special attention to topics such as his citizenship law and the attacks of the comic poets. The method is to take each incident in isolation, examine the evidence, and come up with a decision, usually quitte conservative, about its vailidity as a historical fact. Little attempt is made to tie the various items together, or to give an overla view of the character of Pericles, of why he might have been admired or vilified, or of his effect on his city and the Aegean world.? (PHILIP STADTER in The Classical World, 2000, p.637). From the library of Prof. Dr. H.F.J. Horstmanshoff.
