I believe that Pericles and the people of Athens certainly had a right to be proud of their city-state but they were so proud they kind of overlooked the things that they didnt have. There is a difference between pride and simply being snobby. Perhaps if they took the time to look at Sparta's great military for example they could have improved themselves even more instead of thinking that everything they have is better than everyonelses.Pericles exaggerated in some aspects but in many others showed that Athens truly was a great place to live. I admit they had wonderful schools and advanced knowledge in their architecture and culture they didn't have it all..... there is always room for improvement
