It was argued in my history class the Oration, which was evidentally standardized for all war memorial observances, bears some resemblance to the famous Gettysburg Address of Abraham Lincoln. Both have Political overtones. Both are related to War losses. If I recall correctly the Periclean eulogy starts out ( Our Form of Government...) He started out swinging politics! Half Way Up ( pun intended)./
