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.

Yes, i feel that the Athenians at that point had the right to feel as proud as Pericles led us to believe. I feel that they took what was given to them and used it to the fullest. They began with almost nothing, and made it into a whole city of wealth and prosperity. The Athenians were wealthy, hard working, people who also knew how to have fun. They tried to prevent poverty among their people. From what it seems, they worked as a community. They had a stable govenment, and a strong militia. The Athenians had a lot of things going for them, and they worked hard to maintain them. That is something to be proud of.
