Pericles Funeral Oration

1. Pericles states that the one thing that makes Athens great is their self reliance as an individual and their form of government, democracy.
2.This differs from other city-states like Sparta and others that have Oligarchies or Monarchies.
3.One problem in Pericles' description of Athens is that Athens is an amazingly confident military and they win almost all battles.
