Assignment:

State ideology in the Parthenon sculptures and the funerary oration by Pericles

Read the funerary oration by Pericles and identify aspects of Athenian state ideology that are also visualized in the Parthenon sculptures. Discuss the connections between the textual discourse of the oration and the visual discourse of the sculptures, according to the following guidelines:

Discuss at least one aspect of Athenian state ideology that is clear both in the funerary oration and in the Parthenon sculptures.
Refer to specific passages from the oration and specific visual elements from the sculptures that highlight the concept you chose to discuss.
Explain why that aspect of state ideology was important to fifth-century Athens (for example, how did it serve the power of the city or consolidate existing social structures or cultural practices?) Pericles himself might provide some insights but you should also consider what you already know from course material regarding ancient Greek or specifically Athenian values and interests and the history of 5th-c. Athens (especially its role as leader of the Delian League).
