I believe that the Athenians did have the right to be proud of their civilization. In that period of time their intellectual intelligence was superior for their time. The Athenian architecture was beautiful. It had been well thought out in order to last long. The Acropolis is one of the most famous pieces of architecture in the world and it is still around today for people to see.Their philosophies are still around today, still causing many to seek and answer and better understanding of such matters. Even the Athenian government was progressing. The officials were being paid and given more responsibility of the people.
Their soliders were trained hard, and were incredibly advanced also. They fought tough wars. Therefore, in conclusion, Athenians did have the right to be proud of their civilization.

Pericles and the Athenians community had the right to feel so proud about ahtens because The athenian government was truly a democracy it was not just one man making all the rules. Pericles was just a spokesman for the athenians.Athens is one of the most refined and respected city-states. Some city-states force there citzens into a specific profession while athen's citizens had a large choice. Although Pericles clames that athenian military training was superior I belive that sparta had a far superior military training system. Athens is a place that loves art and that is somewhat modern. He claims that Athens is the school of the hellas and this is mostly true in that they were one of the most modern city-states of its time. To sum it up i say that athenian citizens had every right to feel so proud considering how advanced the civilization they lived in was.
