StrategicWarCrafted wrote that, after the speech of American Secretary of State Marco Rubio at the Pnyx, the President of the Republic Konstantinos Tasoulas offered him the English edition of "Pericles' Funeral Oration" from the Parliament Foundation, with a handwritten dedication. The author noted that, according to Thucydides, the Funeral Oration was delivered in the winter of 431/430 BC, at the end of the first year of the Peloponnesian War, during the burial of the Athenians who were killed in battle. He added that the ceremony took place at the public cemetery of Kerameikos and not at the Pnyx. According to StrategicWarCrafted, the text linked the idea of the ideal city-state with democracy, freedom, courage, and public ethics. He also wrote that Rubio presented Athens as the birthplace of characteristics that shaped the West and called on the West to regain its confidence. Referring to Thucydides' "Histories," Book II, Chapter 43, the author attributed to Pericles the message that the dead should be a model and that happiness was linked with freedom and freedom with courage, while the dangers of war should not be avoided. He called on the country's political leadership to take this exhortation into account and wrote that it was not a time for bribes, but for the salvation of the Nation. He concluded with the phrase "Judges will judge us, the unborn, the dead." #Δημοκρατία #Ιστορία #Πολιτική (translated)
