Pericles was born c. 495 BC, in Athens, Greece.

He was the son of the politician Xanthippus, who,

though ostracized in 485–484 BC, returned to Athens
to command the Athenian contingent in the Greek victory
at Mycale just five years later.

The period during which he led Athens, roughly from 461

to 429 BC, is sometimes known as the "Age of Pericles",
though the period thus denoted can include times as early
as the Persian Wars, or as late as the next century. ...
Pericles also fostered Athenian democracy to such an
extent that critics call him a populist.

Pericles, Prince of Tyre is a Jacobean play written at least

in part by William Shakespeare and included in modern
editions of his collected works despite questions over its
authorship, as it was not included in the First Folio.

Aristotle, Greek Aristoteles, (born 384 BCE, Stagira,

Chalcidice, Greece—died 322, Chalcis, Euboea), ancient
Greek philosopher and scientist, one of the greatest
intellectual figures of Western history.

The Nicomachean Ethics (/ˌnɪkoʊˈmækiən/; Ancient Greek:

Ἠθικὰ Νικομάχεια) is the name normally given to Aristotle's
best-known work on ethics.

Politics (Greek: Πολιτικά, Politiká) is a work of political

philosophy by Aristotle, a 4th-century BC Greek philosopher.
The end of the Nicomachean Ethics declared that the inquiry
into ethics necessarily follows into politics, and the two works
are frequently considered to be parts of a larger treatise, or
perhaps connected lectures, dealing with the "philosophy of
human affairs". The title of the Politics literally means "the
things concerning the polis
One of the greatest ancient historians, Thucydides , born
c.460 B.C.–c.400 B.C.) chronicled nearly 30 years of
war and tension between Athens and Sparta. His
“History of the Peloponnesian War” set a standard for
scope, concision and accuracy that makes it a defining text
of the historical genre.

The History of the Peloponnesian War (Greek: Ἱστορίαι,

"Histories") is a historical account of the Peloponnesian War
(431–404 BC), which was fought between the Peloponnesian
League (led by Sparta) and the Delian League (led by Athens).
It was written by Thucydides,

Thucydides called his account of two decades of war

between Athens and Sparta “a possession for all time,”
and indeed it is the first and still the most famous work in
the Western historical tradition.

Phidias or Pheidias ; Greek: Pheidias; born

c. 480 – 430 BC) was a Greek sculptor, painter, and architect.

Socrates ;Ancient Greek: translit.
Sōkrátēs, born; c. 470 – 399 BC)[3][4] was a classical
Greek (Athenian) philosophercredited as one of the founders
of Western philosophy, and as being the first moral
philosopher,[5][6] of the Western ethical tradition of thought.

Socrates of Athens developed to a high degree the method of

dialectic, not only to refute the Sophists, but also mainly to
advance the thesis that universal standards exist.

Socrates – a man for our times

He was condemned to death for telling the ancient Greeks
things they didn't want to hear, but his views on consumerism
and trial by media are just as relevant today

Plato (Plátōn, pronounced [plá.tɔːn] in Classical Attic;born

428/42 or 424/423] – 348/347BC) was a philosopher in
Classical ece and the founder of the Academy in Athens, the
first institution of higher learn in the Western world.

The Platonic dialogue: Plato often presented his doctrine

in a particular form, that of dialogue in which Socrates
occupied a more prominent that in fact the master
philosopher, he embodied, in some sense, the “playmaker.”

Plato lectured extensively at the Academy, and wrote on many

philosophical issues. The most important writings of Plato are
his Dialogues, although a handful of epigrams also survived,
and some letters have come down to us under his name. It is
believed that all of Plato's authentic dialogues survive.
Thales of Miletus (Thalēs;born c. 624 – c. 546 BC) was a
pre-Socratic Greek philosopher, mathematician, and
astronomer from Miletus in Asia Minor (present-day Milet in
Turkey). He was one of the Seven Sages of Greece.

As a result, he has been hailed as the first true mathematician

and is the first known individual to whom a mathematical
discovery has been attributed. The first recordedWestern
philosopher, Thales reputedly founded the Milesian school of
philosophy in Ionia, a Greek province on the Aegean coast
of what is now Turkey.

Many, most notably Aristotle, regard him as the first

philosopher in the Greek tradition. According to Bertrand
Russell, "Western philosophy begins with Thales."
Thales attempted to explain natural phenomena without
reference to mythology and was tremendously influential in
this respect.

Peisistratus, also spelled Pisistratus, (born 6th century and

born 608 BC—died 527 BC), tyrantof ancient Athens.

His power was founded on thecohesion of the rural citizens,

whom he consolidated with farseeing land laws. His coup
(c.560 B.C.) was probably notunpopular. His rivals, the
Alcmaeonidae and the aristocracy, managed to exile him twice
, but in his last years he establishedhimself sufficiently to leave
Athens in the hands of his sons, Hippias
and HipparchusHipparchus.

Peisistratus was master of Athens by the use of force, so in

Greek terms he was a tyrannos. He maintained a mercenary
bodyguard, composed in part of Scythian archers;
Sophocles (/ˈsɒfəkliːz/;[1] Greek: Σοφοκλῆς, Sophoklēs,
Ancient Greek: [so.pʰo.klɛ̂ːs];born c. 497/6 – winter 406/5 BC)[2]
is one of three ancient Greektragedians whose plays
have survived.

Sophocles'author Oedipus Tyrannus is the most famous of

ancient tragedies and a literary masterpiece. It is not, however,
the only classical dramatization of Oedipus' quest to discover
his identity.

Author by Sophocles ,,Aeschylus was born at Eleusis of a noble

family. He fought at the Battle of Marathon (490 b.c.), where a
small Greek band heroically defeated the invading Persians. At
the time of his death in Sicily, Athens was in its golden age.

Aeschylus (UK: /ˈiːskɪləs/,[1] US: /ˈɛskɪləs/;[2] Greek: Αἰσχύλος

Aiskhulos; Ancient Greek: [ai ̯s.kʰý.los]born; c. 525/524 – c. 456/
455 BC) was an ancient Greek tragedian. He is often described
as the father of tragedy.

"Aeschylean tragedy represents the earliest extant Greek

tragedy of the late-6th and 5th centuries B.C.E., as well as
being one of the pinnackles of the art form. It is the product
of an Athens that in the late 6th century devised and implement
ed a form of government known as democracy.
