Democracy invented an empire, and the empire ate the democracy. George William Cox traces Athens from the Persian wars to the ruin at Syracuse: the Delian League turned tribute machine, the great years of Pericles, the plague, the demagogues, and the long unraveling with Sparta. You will discover a clear account of the century that still supplies our political vocabulary. The first democracy, learning what power costs. Press play and watch the fleet sail.
