Pericles, pere de la democratie ou demagogue ?
English summary: Pericles is emblematic of the golden age of ancient Greece, lending his name even to the period. He and his strong-willed partner, Aspasia, formed one of the grand couples of history, gathering together eminent artists, philosophers, and other cultural and intellectual figures. However, other criticized Pericles as the puppet of his mistress, and as the person responsible for war between Athens and Sparta. Readers can judge this important character for themselves with texts by Plutarch, Plato, Thucydides, and others. French description: Pericles (495-429), stratege et homme d’Etat athenien, est la figure emblematique de l’age d’or de la Grece antique. Son influence fut si importante que la periode est souvent appelee le siecle de Pericles . Avec sa compagne Aspasie, femme de tete et d’esprit, ils forment un des grands couples mythiques de l’histoire. Autour d’eux, ils rassemblerent les plus eminents penseurs et artistes, les philosophes Anaxagore et Socrate, et Phidias le sculpteur qui supervisa la construction du Parthenon.Toutefois, le grand homme eut aussi ses detracteurs, a commencer par les poetes comiques quile couvrirent des piressarcasmes pour en faire un pantin gouverne par sa maitresse courtisane et le responsable d’une guerre de 27 ans entre Athenes et Sparte.Qui etait-il? A vous d’en juger grace aux temoignages de Plutarque, Platon, Thucydide, Diodore et des comiques grecs.
