Summary/Abstract: Thucydides' exaltation of the democratic principles, as eloquently reflected in Pericles' Funeral Oration, pertains to the overwhelming opposition of distinguished historians and philologists in the authentic substance of this incomparable funeral speech. Reliable and interpretive attempts, founded on assiduous studies, detailed and intense investigation, indisputably demonstrate the unique, diachronic resonance that the Athenian intellectual and political formation of the fifth century BC has for the European historical thought.
