Art People: Perikles
A master student as well as military and civic leader, Pericles continues to be admired for his support of the arts. It's hard to imagine a political leader today making arts and architecture priorities in the manner of Pericles. The Perseus Project website is an indispensable tool for anyone interested in Pericles or ancient culture in general. At this site, you can see how leaders and thinkers of his time fit into history, and you can find biographies, timelines and historic texts:
