Pericles' famous Funeral Oration, recorded by historian Thucydides in his book History of the Peloponnesian War (431 BC - 404 BC) , was delivered at the end of 431 BC as part of an annual public funeral for the war dead.

In his seech he broke away from tradition by skipping the military achievements of the city-state and dwelling on the city's cultural and academic qualities, its government system, its freedoms and the character of the athenian citizen. In the fourth paragraph he states:

<em>"Further, we provide plenty of means for the mind to refresh itself from business. We celebrate games and sacrifices all the year round, and the elegance of our private establishments forms a daily source of pleasure and helps to banish the spleen; while the magnitude of our city draws the produce of the world into our harbour, so that to the Athenian the fruits of other countries are as familiar a luxury as those of his own." </em>

We may indeed conclude that the content and direction of his speech gives an indication of his and his culture's appreciation for the citizen and his liberties, the city's vibrant cultural atmostphere and its cosmopolitan attitude, drawing these conclusions from the arguments he presents.

Answer:

    Pericles was an emperor of Athens. He was one of those responsible for the Peloponnesian war. The war was one of the consequences of Pericles' imperialism. The city of Sparta revolted against the domination of Athens, which had remained as administrator of the confederation of Delos. This confederation was a union between the Greek cities to fight the attack of the Persians.

    In his speech Péricles talks about the spirit, since he says that the Athenians try to relieve their minds from business and work, with the celebration of games and making sacrifices. Pericles makes comparisons between the Athenian and the Spartan people, always praising Athens' politics and lifestyle.

Explain the extent to which Rudyard Kipling bias affects the poem as a reliable source of evidence about imperialism.
exis [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

This famous writer was born Joseph Rudyard Kipling in Bombay on December 30th, 1865, after his mother Alice Macdonald, a methodist minister’s daughter, and his father John Lockwood Kipling, an artist, moved there so John could work as the director of an art school. Kipling lived happily in India until he was six, when his father sent him back to England to study. At sixteen Kipling returned to his parents in India and worked on the Civil and Military Gazette, also writing and publishing a number of poems and stories. Kipling returned again to England in 1889 where he gained fame and credibility with his publication of Barrack-Room Ballads. In 1892, he married an American, Carrie Balestier, sister of his dear friend and sometimes partner, Wolcott Balestier, and settled with her in Vermont. There he wrote Captains Courageous and The Jungle Books, and Carrie gave birth to their first two children, Josephine and Elsie. The family moved to England in 1896 and settling in Rottingdean, Sussex the next year. Here their third child John was born. Unfortunately their daughter, Josephine, died during a family visit to the U.S. in 1899. Around this time Kipling was deemed the “Poet of Empire” and produced some his most memorable works, including Kim, Stalky & Co., and Just So Stories. In 1907, Kipling accepted the Nobel Prize for literature. In 1915, his son John died in the battle of Loos, during World War I. Kipling continued to write and became involved in the Imperial War Graves Commission. In January 1936, Kipling died, but not before the completion of his autobiography Something of Myself.
