A little snippet
I heard from a certain Xerxes that it was not a Greek Golden Age at all.
Strange isn't it. I remember doing Pericles and the Golden Age in my Ancient History A level. One of the great democratic heroes, after whose death Athens went into decline. Yet read it differently and we see a rich man who gets his political opponents exiled, is complicit with the mistreatment of allies, dipping into their defence budgets to produce nice architecture and statues etc. Sounds positively modern.
When you put it like that...
Truly, we live in Golden Times - just ask Donald.... ;D
