# Pericles

The first fact about Pericles is an exclusion law and an imperial treasury, not a marble democrat. Britannica at https://www.britannica.com/biography/Pericles-Athenian-statesman and Thucydides Perseus at https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.01.0200 print war, plague, and speech-as-art. SEP Thucydides at https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/thucydides/ warns about speeches. Cambridge Age of Pericles studies treat shared authorship. BM Parthenon sculptures at https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection are 1816 removals. UNESCO Acropolis at https://whc.unesco.org/en/list/404/ and the Acropolis Museum at https://www.theacropolismuseum.gr/en are later access. The offsets are also URLs. Gutenberg https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/7142 is cheap English. Plutarch Perseus https://www.perseus.tufts.edu/hopper/text?doc=Perseus:text:1999.01.0182 is a later vita. Hellenic culture pages at https://www.culture.gov.gr/en/ present the site. What the score must not say: that he wrote every decree; that the oration is a tape; that 1816 is 447; that jury-pay is a modern franchise. Complex contribution is the honest type. Confidence is high on Thucydides as a public book and on the plague as received, medium on unique Megarian weight, low on unique tribute coefficients. Related people are Thucydides, Aspasia, Phidias, Cimon. 1919 is a Loeb. 1987 is UNESCO. 1816 is a removal. The useful question is which later public pages still move exclusion, tribute, and plague under his name. Keep citizenship tribute plague and Acropolis listing on separate dates. Remaining dated instruments kept after dropping later editions, museums, and split rows: -0451-01-01 A citizenship law restricting descent is a completed civic-exclusion instrument; -0454-01-01 Athenian imperial use of League money is a completed extraction heading; -0440-01-01 The Samian War is a completed crushing of an ally; -0431-01-01 A defensive crowded-city strategy at the war’s start is a completed policy heading; -0429-01-01 The plague and Pericles’ death in it are a completed public-health disaster of the war years; -0432-01-01 Megarian exclusion is a completed coercive trade heading of disputed weight; -0447-01-01 The building programme uses allied money as later Plutarch prints it; -0431-12-01 Thucydides prints a Funeral Oration as literary testimony, not a tape; -0430-01-01 Classical Athens under his prominence is a slaveholding democracy; -0440-06-01 Allied punishments sit inside an imperial system he helped thicken; -0462-01-01 Jury-pay is a completed widening of who can sit, with shared authorship. Later Loeb, UNESCO, and encyclopedia pages are evidence, not additional acts. This catalog keeps only instruments dated to the lifetime (or received lifetime date) of Pericles. Posthumous museums, critical editions, UNESCO listings, and political reception by later states are evidence, not additional acts. The honest deficiency is that the current 30-Fact / 10-Article / 10-News Person gate cannot be met from securely dated instruments without attributing later editors and excavators to the ancient name. Related 2024–2025 news about COP, NATO, or a German chancellorship is not a relation. Hostile vita slander is not upgraded. Off-family indicator padding is refused. Confidence is high on named public pages, medium on unique coefficients, low on anecdote.
