Description

The Golden Age of Athens was derived from the leadership of Pericles, politician extraordinaire. Readers will learn how one man moved his country to complete such works as building the Parthenon, Propylaea, and other projects, ending revolts against Athenian rule, leading Athens into the Peloponnesian War, and more, all while taking on various battles with domestic political rivals. This dynamic text utilizes call-outs to draw connections between ancient Athens and modern times and helps readers understand the landscape in which he led Athens to flourish.
