Dans la culture occidentale, Périclès a le rare privilège de donner son nom à un « Siècle », incarnant l’apogée politique et culturelle du monde grec. Pour autant, faut-il croire l’historien Thucydide lorsqu’il soutient, à propos d’Athènes : « C’était, de nom, une démocratie, mais, en fait, le premier citoyen exerçait le pouvoir » ? Périclès régna-t-il en souverain sur des masses consentantes ou ne fut-il qu’une marionnette actionnée par le peuple ? De Thucydide à Plutarque, de Voltaire à ...
