We tend to take democracy, philosophy, theatre and the beautiful buildings of Athens for granted, as if they were always going to happen. But in reality, five determined people had an overwhelming impact on making those things come about. And the rich details of their lives give us a deep and satisfying look into how the fabulous Golden Age of Athens came into being. Socrates, of course, was one of those people. But how did he rise from working as a stonemason to being one of the world's greatest philosophers? Why did the early tyrant Peisistratos create prestigious prizes for theatre plays, motivating Aeschylus, Euripides and others to spend their lives producing masterful works? What childhood experiences caused Pericles, the most famous leader of Athens, to erect monumental buildings such as the Parthenon even though he was already struggling to preserve the city's innovative democracy? How did Aspasia manage to make her way into the highest echelons of Athenian society and influence the work of Pericles and Socrates? How close did the Athenian general Alcibiades come to winning the devastating Peloponnesian War, before he was forced out by the city's demagogues? Other remarkable people certainly contributed to the life of Athens, and we see many of them here. But these five people raised Athens to a higher level than the cities around them, and became some of the brightest stars illuminating the Golden Age of Greece.

An excerpt of a review from The Monthly Review: IN his "Imaginary Conversations of Literary Men and Statesmen," Mr. Landor established his right to the title of the English Literary Dramatist. That work displayed no ordinary acquaintance with the great men of antiquity — no ordinary enthusiasm and fidelity in personating their characters and feelings, by turns humorous, tender, quaint, or lofty, as the subject required. Without caricature, and without effort, he seemed to place himself in the situation of the individuals represented, and to utter the very words, and suggest the very sentiments which they themselves would or must have done. It was also well observed of that work, that the author succeeded best when going far back into antiquity, and that according to the distance which the object or character contemplated stood from him, so did his views expand, and the more worthy did he become of the admirable models supposed to he imitated, Accordingly, we remember, that his dialogue between Pericles and Sophocles was one of the happiest efforts which his " Conversations" presented. It is therefore reasonable to expect, when the former of these illustrious names is introduced again, upon a wider field and along with a more numerous array of contemporary personages who are prominent in the temple of fame, that our author's power will not be less felicitous than when he first personated that great commander, statesman, and orator, especially since the celebrated Aspasia is the heroine in the series of Letters constituting the work. Indeed we have to say, that for all that is minute and graceful in scholarship, for all that is precise and noble in sentiment, and all that is descriptive in situation, these Letters surpass the Dialogues formerly published. In truth, the work is so purely classical, so highly finished, and the characters so little known by the mass of readers now-a-days, who are attracted by tinsel more than by substantial riches, because these are not allowed the time necessary for weighing and valuing them, that we fear it will not obtain the popularity which more exciting but much more flimsy productions secure. If it may require of the reader, as Mr. Landor himself suggests, the "learning by heart two first 'Years' of Thucydides," ere he can relish the volumes before us, something not much different from a sealed book is presented to nineteen-twentieths of the reading community. We must, however, select a few gems, without any thing like lengthened comment or discussion; the imaginary nature of the performance, and the subjects treated of, affording small scope for anything more than a taste for the author's beauties, and an appreciation of the intellectual and critical powers displayed. As already intimated, there is a diversity of characters and topics introduced in these Letters. Besides Pericles, the eloquent, the venerable, but not the spotless, and Aspasia, the lively, but passionate and erring, her early companion Cleone figures prominently in the correspondence; the gods, the poets and philosophers of Greece, the arts, and the manners of the age, being, with other and kindred themes, besides the love of the hero and heroine, constantly blended in learned and most terse as well as polished style. Our first extract shall be from a letter of the sensible and affectionate Cleone to the lovely Aspasia. Though her numerous criticisms on the poets are learned and profound, she is not above directing her taste to ornaments of dress—as witness the following artist-like particularity….

According to legend, Aspasia of Miletus was a courtesan, the teacher of Socrates, and the political adviser of her lover Pericles. Next to Sappho and Cleopatra, she is the best known woman of the ancient Mediterranean. Yet continued uncritical reception of her depiction in Attic comedy and naive acceptance of Plutarch's account of her in his Life of Pericles prevent us from understanding who she was and what her contributions to Greek thought may have been. Madeleine Henry combines traditional philological and historical methods of analysis with feminist critical perspectives, in order to trace the construction of Aspasia's biographical tradition from ancient times to the present. Through her analysis of both literary and political evidence, Henry determines the ways in which Aspasia has become an icon of the sexually attractive and politically influential female, how this construction has prevented her from taking her rightful place as a contributor to the philosophical enterprise, and how continued belief in this icon has helped sexualize all women's intellectual achievements. This is the first work to study Aspasia's biographical tradition from ancient Greece to the present day.
