Pericles – Digital

We are pleased to present this Trinity Forum Reading featuring “Pericles’ Funeral Oration” by Thucydides, with a foreword by Henry J. Smith.

Often called “The Gettysburg Address” of classical Greece, Pericles’ oration remains a timeless and stirring tribute to democratic ideals. It invites reflection on the meaning of democratic governance—and the responsibilities it places on both leaders and citizens alike.
