which Pericles are you talking about? The play by Shakespeare or Pericles (ca. 495 BC-429 BC, Greek : Περικλῆς) was an influential and important leader of Athens?\n\nhere's the link to the info anyway.\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pericles%2C_Prince_of_Tyre\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pericles

Yes. Perot almost pulled it off. He kept the other two clowns somewhat honest.

What a question! (I hope you'll care to tell us why you asked it?) First and foremost Aristophanes, the author of Lysistrate, is against war (or at least the Peloponnese War); Herodotus is in favour of (the Persian) wars; and Thucydides does his very best to remain neutral on the justification of (the Peloponnese) war. Second, Lysistrate is a comedy; Herotodus' works are basically a cronicle; Thucudides "History of the Peloponnese War" is one of the first attempts at real contemporary history. \n\nThird, there's the purpose of the writers. Aristophanes was a conservative Athenian who was probably pro-Sparta and intensely annoyed at this continued civil war between Athens and Sparta and their acolytes. He used Lystistrate to crack the whip over the war mongers and ridicule them for many of their, as he saw it, degenerate ways. Herodotus was apparently a deeply religious man, marked by the belief in Hubris (provoking the wrath of the Gods by getting above one's station in life) of his contemporary Greece. He used his works to show how the Persians - in attacking the Greeks and in their prior undertakings - were guilty of great Hubris and were justly punished. Thucydides was an upper-class Athenian in tune with the mainstream of his town, who was however exiled (the Athenian process of "Ostrachism" by which you could induce excessively powerful people to leave for a period of 10 years) during the Peloponnese wars. His work is sympathetic to his fellow Athenians in the early phases of the war when they were still a disciplined force; then gets increasingly critical as the Athenian conduct of the war gets more and more hysterical and erratic. \n\nFourth, what are the basic attitudes of the three works? Well, Lysistrate says "war is just too ridiculous". Herodotus says "war is necessary to fulfill the will of the gods". Thucydides says "stuff happens".

That his family was once the ruler of Rome, but Julius had taken away his throne.  Also he believes more strongly in rights than in freedome.  \n\nHow valid?  up to you I guess.  I would say that it wasn't that valid in that he betrayed a friend that trusted him and he destroyed the meaning of friendship. Yet he still did it for the people so that all would have the natural rights demanded of them.

Socrates was such an influential thinker.  With students as great as Plato, it was ridiculous to condemn a man who produced such a great outcome of philosophy.  I don't think Socrates is comparable to some of the true lunatics today.  I do not favor censorship, but if people outwardly try to harm others or cause others to become corrupt, of course they deserve retribution.  This would be instances such as the suice groups online that encourage others to kill themselves.

Well, I am fond of the Greeks for their literature and art.  The Romans, however, took the Greek basis and expanded the ideas.  Their art tends to contain deeper messages which some people appreciate.  I like the older Greek stuff, though...and especially the Archaic poets.  Have you read any Sappho?\n\nSo...Greek :)

Do you mean the King of Ithaca?  As in Homer's Odessey, Odysseus, and the Trojan War?  I've never seen a movie about Odysseus with a character by the name of DIMIDIOCE.  Sorry.

Well i am fine. Thanks for asking.\n\nI like to think of myself as Emperor of earth. But king of the world is passable.\n\nEnjoy staying on my planet and don't litter too much, and enough with all of the fighting. I didn't authorize any fighting.\n\nGood day subject.

I find some of these answers show qite a degree of ignorance,  however we are all entitled to our opinion of anyone else. I would say that it is easy to agree with the sentiments given here but only superficially, His films reflect the human condition from the point of view of everyman, not from some unbeatable hero, they show the hopes fears selfdilusions and insecurities that define the human condition. I find him to be in general a very candind person. some here call him a pedophile but to my knowledge he had a relationship with Mia's adopted daughter he does not go around targeting children willy nilly in order to get pervy sex, He subsequently seperated from Mia and he and the girl in question then lived together, you could say he strayed well off the path but to brand him pedo is a bit over the top, and also what is perverted? look into your own lives and examine your own darkest thoughts there is only a step from thinking and doing a slight change in circumstances could give any of us the chance to live out a dark fantasy 'when you have walked one mile in my brothers moccasins then tell me your opinion of him' (red indian proverb)

Well, If I remember correctly, I think Machiavelli was upset with the people who were and had recently been in power...I think he thought thought that his way of dealing with things, although pretty awful, was what was best for people on the whole. Becuase his ideas are so umm...unpleseant, you might get creativity points if you try to play him off as truly concerned with and trying to help his home. A humanitarian who was willing to sacrifice many to save many more.

Caligula, that guy had style.  Apointed his horse to snate.  Decided he needed more money for his government so he conscripted all the senators wives and put them in a state run brothel.  During the gladiatorial games he use to have fans thrown into the arena to fight to the death.\n\nThat is just a few of the things he did.  He definately put the rant in tyrant.

That bastard can claim no allegance from me.  He killed his own brother Osiris.\n\nThat said, I love how he's represented in the anime Hellsing.  That eight-eyed dog truly owns.

I thought the Balrog was neat. He wasn't that bad compared to some of the other stuff in LOTR. I think he's cool, though. Very nice whip, and he's all firey.
