| Abstract | "The so-called Golden Age of Athens, during and after the primacy of Pericles, was in fact a time of ruinous culture wars. Hubris shows how Pericles's circle used the Parthenon as a propaganda vehicle to flatter the Athenians, and how internal clashes hastened the rise of Alcibiades, the egocentric playboy who brought the city to defeat."-- Provided by publisher. |
