Pericles believed that the Athenian system of education gave its citizens a double advantage because it not only taught them to be knowledgeable and skilled individuals, but also instilled in them a sense of civic duty and responsibility.

Pericles had guided Athens into a war with the Peloponnesian League which was led by Sparta. He was confident that the walls of Athens and its superior navy, financed by the empire which Athens had created, would prevail. Two years later Pericles died of a plague which engulfed the Athenians penned up in an unhealthy environment within the city walls. Subsequent populist leaders led the people into risky deviations from his plan, and after another disastrous 25 years of war, Athens surrendered and was stripped of its empire, becoming a second class power.
