Pericles Uplifting Speech

The exhilarating speech of Pericles is not quoted before thousands of people; state the words that convince the crowd; believing and possessing them seems to be the cause of justice - this is not done by the leader There is no doubt. In all ages, that trouble, its own conflict, and its own leaders are. In 431 BC, Athens was in the war, and in that war, until today, it is a matter of convincing the citizens, believing in them and acting to support them Any land of any leaders Yes. .

Soon after the Peloponnese war began, Pellicle published a famous speech called "Funeral Speech". This is to celebrate the dead soldiers.

Pellicle's strategy for Sparta is to fight on the sea instead of fighting on land. Sparta has a stronger army, but Athens has a stronger navy. The Athenians gathered in the streets. They have a Great Wall to the harbor so that they can get supplies. This strategy may be effective, but Athens is suffering from plague. Thousands of people died. In 429 BC, the pellicle also died in the plague. Athens eventually loses that war and will never reach the same height.

Pellicle 's speech was announced in 430 BC at the end of the first year of the war. Then he died in 429 BC one year later. The pellicle funeral speech was included in Thucydides' article entitled 'The Peloponnesus War History'. Pellicle gave several reasons for this funeral speech. - ...
