The character of Leonidas is written in the sacrifice of Thermopylae. CIMON was the son of Miltiades, and appears to have been equally distinguished for his talents and his virtue. His military Ch "Snon. F career was marked by a series of the most splendid victories, which humbled the mighty Persian empire, and made his country illustrious and powerful. He possessed a " generosity of character, which delighted equally in acts of private bounty, and of public munificence. " PERICLES for forty ye...ars controlled the Athenian mind, directed the Athenian taste, and appropriated the spoil that Cimon, the successful and brilliant warrior had won, and the treasuries, intended as a com- mon fund, to the embellishment of Athens. Pericles employed the genius of Phidias, the greatest of the Greek sculptors, to adorn the temples and other buildings with statues. He ruled the people by his address and elegance, taste, wealth, and munificence. But his ambi- tion carried him too far ; through his influence, Athens was led to the most unjust exactions from her allies, and finally, 3573, plunged into the Peloponnesian war.
