It is a pleasure to explore again in a volume dedicated to his memory a topic that I
discussed several years ago with Fritz Solmsen. Conversations with him always revealed
new aspects of old problems.
2 The
speeches Thucydides attributes to Pericles cannot be taken as a direct statement of
Pericles. They indicate Thucydides' respect for his intelligence, but give no indication of
his training or intellectual milieu. The sophistic figures occasionally employed (as at 2.
40. 1) belong to Thucydides' own style.

and other late sources, and does not sufficiently attend to the tradition of the
fifthand fourth centuries. Like Plutarch, I will give particular importance
to the statements of contemporaries, despite the obvious bias and even
hostility they often show. This reexamination will reveal a Pericles rather
different from some standard presentations. Stripped free of the anecdotal
rhetoric of later centuries, Pericles emerges as a powerful orator and dynamic
politician, but not a participant in the sophistic revolution. Let us start
with the evidence for Pericles' contact with the most famous of the
sophists.
"Close personal relations existed at least with Protagoras," Victor
Ehrenberg writes.4 The chief evidence comes from an anecdote in Plutarch's
Pericles. Pericles is said to have spent the whole day with Protagoras,
trying to establish who should be held responsible for the accidental death of
a participant in the games—the javelin which killed him, the thrower of the
javelin, or those managing the games {Per. 36. 4-5). The source and value
of the story are problematic. It is often considered as contemporary,
deriving from Stesimbrotus. Yet Plutarch does not attribute the passage on
Pericles' dispute with Protagoras to Stesimbrotus, as he does the
immediately following story of Pericles' seduction of Xanthippus' wife.5 In
fact, the story does not fit Stesimbrotus' purposes, as far as we can establish
them. Stesimbrotus, a Homeric rhapsode and explicator, tried to show, in
his book deriding the politicians Themistocles, Thucydides, and Pericles, the
weaknesses in the education and training of these leaders. It would not have
been to his advantage to show Pericles debating on an equal footing with
4
V. Ehrenberg, Sophocles and Pericles (Oxford 1954) 96.
5
This is the apparent interpretation of Plutarch's discrete and shocked reference to this
story at Per. 13. 16 and 36. 6.
6Note how, in Plato Prot. 339a-e, Protagoras' statements on Simonides are meant to
leave Socrates reeling and unable to reply. In such a case, one would imagine that
Stesimbrotus presented a satirical picture of Xanthippus' report of Pericles' encounter with
Protagoras. The source of the account of Xanthippus' quarrel may well be comedy. On
Stesimbrotus' pamphlet, see F. Schachermeyr, "Stesimbrotos und seine Schrift iiber die
Staatsmanner," SAWW 247, 5 (1965), K. Meister, "Stesimbrotos* Schrift iiber die
athenischen Staatsmanner und ihre historische Bedeutung (FGrHisI 107 F 1-11)," Historia

they have not been sent there by Pericles.7 As Socrates notes, Pericles has
neither trained them himself in political wisdom, nor entrusted them to
others, but rather "left them to graze for themselves, like free-ranging sheep"
(319e-20a). Now they are listening to Protagoras, but soon—the
implication is—they will move on. Moreover, Socrates observes, Pericles
has also refused to entrust his ward Cleinias to Protagoras: after a brief
period in the care of his uncle Ariphron, Pericles has once more put Cleinias
in the rather dubious care of his brother Alcibiades (320a-b).8
It is clearly Plato's view that Pericles had no special faith in
Protagoras' teaching, or that of other sophists, but expected that his sons
and wards would grow up naturally, with no special training, in the
companionship of their older relatives and fellow citizens. How different
Pericles is from Callias, who spent a fortune on the sophists! Far from
spending money on sophists, Pericles, as Plato reports elsewhere, put his
ward Alcibiades in the care of a paedagogue, a certain Zopyrus, a Thracian
slave in his household, who had grown too old for other duties (Ale. I
122a).9 Plato's scorn for Pericles' attitude toward education is palpable.
If we are to believe Plato, then, Pericles did not think that Protagoras
was a good or necessary educator for the young people in his charge. What
then of Plutarch's report that Pericles spent a whole day discussing with
Protagoras the case of the contestant in the pentathlon? The story, if true,
would be indicative of Pericles' interest in considering legal problems at
length, though not necessarily of his enthusiasm for sophistic disputations.
But there is little reason to consider it authentic: A similar case in
Antiphon, Tetralogies 2, concerns a boy killed by a javelin thrown in a
gymnasium. The problem, while undoubtedly the subject of discussion in
the fifth century, was also a standard rhetorical challenge concerning
responsibility, into which teachers could introduce real names to enhance
vividness. By Plutarch's day, it must have been a common topos, like the
story of the slave of Pericles, who fell from the roof of the Propylaea while
sleep-walking.10 The story probably belongs to the pedagogical tradition of
the rhetorical or philosophical schools, as do several others in the Pericles.11

of stasis theoiy, cf. D. A. Russell, Greek Declamation (Cambridge 1983) 17 and 40; for
Pericles as an example in declamations, 121. Even if the story goes back to Slesimbrotus,
its veracity would hardly be assured, since Slesimbrotus' anti-Periclean brief led him to
report or invent even the story of Pericles' lust for his daughter-in-law. Jacoby, FGrHisI

107 F 11 prints the whole passage, but marks with large print 36. 6 as the section actually
ascribed by Plutarch to Stesimbrotus. An unauthentic work found in the Plutarchan corpus,
the Consolatio ad Apollonium, reports that Protagoras praised Pericles' self-control at the
funerals of his sons (Cons, ad Apol. 118e = FVS 80 B 9, cf. also Val. Max. 5. 10. ext. 1,
Aelian VH 9. 6). Even if the anecdote were genuine, it would tell nothing of Protagoras'
personal contact with Pericles.

The seer Lampon, a mantis whom Plutarch elsewhere considered a friend and agent of
Pericles (Praec. ger. rep. 812d), was the chair of the Athenian commission sent to
establish the city. But a cross-examination of Lampon by Pericles in a trial for asebeia is
recorded by Aristotle (Rhel. 3, 1419a), which indicates that Lampon at that time was not a
friend of Pericles. Plutarch's description of Lampon as Pericles' agent is most probably a
deduction from his presence on the Thurii commission. See for a full account of the
evidence for the foundation of Thurii D. Kagan, The Outbreak of the Peloponnesian War

Philip A. Stadter 115
honor the gods of the city. We may find it easier to consider the Parthenon
or Propylaea as aesthetic monuments, but the Athenian people, led by
Pericles, saw them first of all as dedications to their patron goddess.
Moreover, Pericles was willing to make a casus belli of the religious
sanctions against the Megarians for working land sacred to the Eleusinian
goddesses. Protagoras' view of the gods was that "concerning the gods I
cannot know either that they exist or do not exist, nor what sort they are in
appearance: many things hinder knowing, the obscurity [of the subject] and
the brevity of human life."14 Pericles' public life utterly contradicted that
opinion. On the contrary, Pericles devoted a substantial part of his energy
and political capital to seeing that Athens honored the gods as they had
never been honored before, with buildings, festivals, and processions.
The tenuous evidence for Pericles' contact with Protagoras depends on
traditions elaborated after the fourthcentury. A similar late elaboration also
lies behind Plutarch's statement that Pericles heard Parmenides and Zeno
when they were at Athens (Per. 4. 5). A meeting of the two Eleatics with
Pericles would indeed have been chronologically possible, but no other
writer suggests any such contact. In this case the argument from silence is
especially important; Plato has Socrates refute the notion that Pericles has
any real knowledge by showing that he has taught no one. In the course of
the argument he notes particularly two men whom he knows to have
profited from contact with Zeno. Socrates pointedly omits listing Pericles
as a student, although he is the subject of the argument at this point (Ale. I
119a).15 Plutarch or his source has misremembered Plato, and made Pericles
one of Zeno's students.16 There is no other evidence for Pericles' contact
with these men.
In fact, neither fifth-centurywriters nor Plato, our chief source for the
sophists and their friends, ever suggests that Pericles had contact with any
philosopher except Anaxagoras, or with any sophist at all, unless Damon is
included in that category. The comic poets, so hostile to his other friends,
say nothing about sophists.17 This silence is echoed by the other Socratic
writers and by Aristotle. Our conclusion must be that Pericles had no
interest in the sophists, and gave them no support. The sole exception—
and he is in fact not an exception—is Damon, son of Damonides.

1 Grate's reference to this passage as evidence for Zeno's teaching of Pericles is
mistaken (History of Greece VIH [London 1869] 145, c. LXVII).
16 There is no reason to assume another source: such casual errors are not
infrequent,
even in material Plutarch knows well; cf. e.g. the conflation of the campaigns of Epidaurus
and Potidaea at Per. 35.

Note that Aristophanes does not mention Pericles in the Clouds, except for a political
action unrelated to sophistry (Nub. 859).
116 Illinois Classical Studies, XVI
music was discussed.20 Later notices are not useful in establishing Damon's
role as associate of Pericles. Even the rather detailed comments of Plutarch,
Pericles 4. 1-4 and 9. 2, are derived entirely from the notices in Plato,
Aristotle, and Plato the comic poet. The apparent additions, where Plutarch
speaks of Damon as a top-notch sophist (atcpcx; ocxpioTr|<;) who used the lyre
as a shield, are a reworking and elaboration of Plato's description, through
the mouth of Protagoras, of how sophists had protected themselves from
hostility, and provide no new information.21
What then is Damon's position with regard to Pericles? He was
considered extremely smart, and was an adviser to Pericles, as his father had
been before him. It is quite likely, given the fact that he was ostracized,
that he was politically active and belonged to a well-to-do family, with the
wealth if not the lineage of other leading figures in mid-fifth-century
politics. His Athenian birth and apparently continuous residence in Athens
set him off from other sophists, who came from minor cities, traveled
through the Greek world to earn money and build their reputation, and
considered a profitable stay at Athens a high point of their activity. Damon,
according to Plato and later writers, was especially interested in music, in
particular the different harmonies and their effects on the psychology or
behavior of listeners or performers.22 If we were to relate his musical
interests with any political initiatives of Pericles, we might expect them to
be the increase in the number of festivals (Plut. Per. 11. 4), the
reestablishment of the musical agon in the Panathenaia shortly before 446
(Per. 13. 11), and especially the construction of the Odeon (Per. 13. 9
10).23 Such an emphasis on music as a proper activity of government
would well fit Damon's interests, and not be different in kind from his
father's recommendations regarding jury duty: both initiatives won influence
for Pericles by distributing public money to the citizens. It would also
explain why Damon might be seen by Pericles' opponents as a dangerous
element, worthy of ostracism: his advice would be directly related to
Pericles' power in Athens, and to the use of the phoros from the Delian
league, which was also the basis for the objections against the Periclean

ed. Westerink, 137. 20-38. 11, as furnishing information that Damon taught Pericles the
songs "which harmonized the city," but this is simply Olympiodorus' interpretation of the
passage in Ale. I 118c, filled out with the discussion of Damon in the Republic. I disagree
with Wallace's assertion (51) that as scientific researcher on human subjects and as
political adviser, "Damone fu un sofista tipico." His interests were similar to those of
some sophists, but the defining quality of the sophist is not scientific research but
teaching to those who will pay.

Although in this discussion it has been presumed that Damonides and Damon were
both advisers to Pericles, the force of the present argument does not depend on that
assumption. It would be possible for Damon to have advised Pericles both on jury pay and
later on musical festivals and building the Odeon, before being ostracized.
25
Plutarch's citation of Aristotle for Pythoclides at Per. 4. 1 apparently represents a
confusion with the passage from the Protagoras, which is paraphrased immediately after.
26 Note that
Sophocles was active in governmental roles: hellenotamias in 443/2,
perhaps general in the 430s (Vita Soph. 9). For the questions concerning Sophocles' civic
career, see P. Karavites, "Tradition, Scepticism, and Sophocles' Political Career," Klio 58
(1976) 359-65, with earlier bibliography.
27
Again, this seems a standard story which was ascribed to Pericles and Sophocles for
vividness; cf. the other versions in Arist. 24. 7 and [Plut.J Vitae dec. or. 839a.
Philip A. Stadter 119
story is of dubious value, but does suggest that Sophocles, who at a dinner
party chuckled over his successful "generalship" in winning a kiss from a
pretty wine-pourer (Ion 392 F 6), would hardly have sought out Pericles'
company and subjected himself to such puritanical observations. The
feeling was no doubt mutual. Plutarch reports that Pericles, unlike earlier
politicians, avoided dinner parties, and concentrated on state business.28
A third Athenian with whom Pericles is associated in our literary record
is Phidias, sculptor of the Athena Parthenos as well as of earlier statues, the
Lemnian Athena and the Athena Promachos. Phidias was undoubtedly
known to Pericles. However, when we compare the early notices with the
later tradition, it is apparent that these ties have been expanded far beyond
what was actually known. In particular, there is no evidence that Phidias
ever "managed and oversaw the whole building program," as stated by
Plutarch.29 Nor can we assert that Pericles' involvement with Phidias' trial
for embezzlement extended beyond the political realm to personal friendship
and a shared artistic vision.
Our firstreport of Pericles' ties to Phidias comes from certain unnamed
comic poets cited by Plutarch: Phidias, according to these anonymous
mockers, was furnishing a rendezvous on the Acropolis for Pericles to meet
freeborn women.30 The comic scene exploits the sacrilegious contrast:
Phidias working on the statue of the virgin goddess, under whose aegis
Pericles is seducing the wives of citizens. In simple terms, Pericles is
accused of using the building program for his own (in this case, lecherous)
ends. The only other fifth-century notice is in Aristophanes, who has
Hermes affirm that Pericles was frightened by the accusations against
Phidias, and therefore, to distract his enemies, began the Peloponnesian War
(Peace 605-11). This reference to Phidias' troubles is confirmed by the
decree of Glaucon cited by Plutarch {Per. 31.5) and in the fourthcentury by
Philochorus (FGrHist 328 F 121) and perhaps by Ephorus, since it appears
in Diodorus.31 Philochorus has Pericles involved not as a friend but as
epistates, a public commissioner responsible for the statue. Diodorus
mentions Pericles' position as commissioner also, and adds that the
prosecution was led by Pericles' enemies, who charged both Phidias and
Pericles.
The story of Pericles' friendship with Phidias develops much later,
partially as an expansion of Aristophanes' explanation for the war. Plato
and the orators are silent on the relationship of the two men. Subsequent

321 do not wish to discuss here the host of problems connected with Phidias' trial, or
that of Anaxagoras, but merely review the early evidence for Pericles' involvement. For
recent work on the two trials, see P. A. Stadter, A Commentary on Plutarch's Pericles

Diodoras says that Pericles, as epistates of the Parthenos statue, also was accused of
sharing in Phidias' crime. This may be true.

Cf. C. J. Rowe, Plato. Phaedrus (Warminster 1986) 204-05. We perhaps have an
example of this style in a conceit from one of his speeches, reported by Plutarch (Per. 8. 9
= Stesimbrotus 107 F 9). "Those who have died for their country," Pericles said, "are like
the gods. We cannot see them, but we consider that they do not suffer death on the basis of
the honors they receive and the benefits they bestow."

The (16. 8-9) seems to be an
anecdote developed in the philosophical schools, again on the basis of the contact of the
two recorded by Plato. Compare the similar story of Pericles offering to maintain the
shoemaker-philosopher Simon, only to be rejected by the freedom-loving sage (Diog.
Laert 2. 123). The anecdote describing the diverse interpretations of the ram prodigy (Per.
6) is almost certainly a late invention; among other things, the account of the dissection
is impossible. Theophrastus' story of the amulet, found in Per. 38. 2, does not seem to
indicate any special philosophical influence, merely the intelligence Pericles was noted
for.
122 Illinois Classical Studies, XVI
to Anaxagoras. First, as Dover has noted, the very variety of tales indicates
that there was no accurate information about the trial.39 It is quite possible
that the whole trial is an invention of philosophical biography. The second
Platonic epistle (311a) noted that the relation of Pericles and Anaxagoras
could be assimilated to the standard topos of the statesman and his
philosophical adviser, connecting such men as Periander and Thales,
Croesus and Solon, and Hiero or Pausanias and Simonides.40 The numerous
versions of the trial story concentrate on how Anaxagoras was protected by
his powerful student, not on the learning of the student or the political
context. The story would be useful to any philosopher dependent on a
powerful patron.41 Only Plutarch supplements this edifying story with new
evidence, Diopeithes' decree against atheism (Per. 32.2), but the connection
of the fifth-centurydecree with an attack on Pericles probably is Plutarch's
own inference.42 Second, even if we accept the existence of the trial and
Pericles' role in it, the precise political and juridical situation remains
unclear. Pericles might, for instance, have protected Anaxagoras as part of
his general policy of encouraging metics in Athens,43 or for political
reasons, rather than as a friend. Pericles' defence of Anaxagoras would
confirm his acquaintance with the philosopher, but does not reveal his
intellectual views or debt to him.
In brief: On the basis of Plato and Isocrates we can argue that in the
fourth century Pericles was thought to have had some intellectual contact
with Anaxagoras, probably in the area of high-sounding cosmological
theories. There is no indication of the period at which this contact took
place. Plato's brief and ironic ascription of Pericles' eloquence to
Anaxagoras' influence grew into a tradition exemplifying the relation
between sage and statesman, the major feature of which became Pericles'
role in protecting Anaxagoras from an accusation of atheism.
The other non-Athenian associate of Pericles was the Milesian
courtesan, Aspasia. Attic comedy often mocked Pericles' liaison with
Aspasia as lustful, uxorious, or a cause of war, but one comic writer of the
fifth century, Callias, in his Pedetai (The Men in Fetters) apparently
