A. Read and consider Pericles' account of Athenian values in the Funeral Oration. What similarities and differences do you see between the Menander's Dyskolos and Thucydides' account of Pericles' Funeral Oration? If time permits, think about what similarities and differences you see with Euripides' Ion too.
