The accounts remaining ofhis actions hardly support his renown, which was yet, perhaps, more fairly earned than that of many, the merit of whoseachievements has been, in a great degree, due to others actingunder them, whose very names have perished. The philosophy ofPericles taught him not to be vain-glorious, but to rest hisfame upon essentially great and good rather than upon brilliantactions. It is observed by Plutarch that, often as he commandedthe Athenian forces, he never was defeated; ye...t, though he wonmany trophies, he never gained a splendid victory. A battle, according to a great modern authority, is the resource of ignorantgenerals; when they know not what to do they fight a battle. Itwas almost universally the resource of the age of Pericles; littleconception was entertained of military operations beyond ravageand a battle. His genius led him to a superior system, which thewealth of his country enabled him to carry into practice. Hisfavorite maxim was to spare the lives of his soldiers; and scarcelyany general ever gained so many important advantages with solittle bloodshed.
