5/14 pericles funeral oration

Make a list of some of the Athenian values that you encountered in the text. Choose one and write a couple of sentences (or more) about why it might be good for the trial of Socrates.

the list for the Athenians values:
1) The Athenians have a democratic democracy just like us and they also trade food with other countries.
2) I underlined a couple of sentences that might be good for the trial because i believe that they have strong words.
For example one of them talks about how the Spartans spend most of their lives training to have courage and trying to meet suffering. and they compare how they(the athenians) have in their blood and they don't have to practice.
Something else that i underlined was that they don't praise Homer because the things he writes aren't true, they think.
