“It had happened. Thucydides, his archrival, was a general. Glaucon, from his own tribe, was a general. And Pericles was no longer a general. He was just a citizen with one vote. And an idea”
Yvonne Korshak, Pericles and Aspasia: A Story of Ancient Greece

Cecil Maurice Bowra
“Both [Aristotle] and Plato denied the greatness of Periclean Athens and rejected its fundamental assumption, that its citizens could be trusted to take even the most important decisions because they were free and responsible men.”
Cecil Maurice Bowra, The Greek Experience
