Zeus is a little bit confused. Though he realizes he is the supreme ruler of Greece, he keeps hearing mention of one name, in particular,and he's beginning to get annoyed. " Pericles, Pericles, Pericles" the Athenian citizens chant again and again in the Agora.

You know that Athens is in the middle of the Golden Age following their defeat of the Persians at the Battle of Marathon. Beyond that, though, you don't really know much about Pericles- why do the Athenians regard him so highly?

Zeus is beginning to spit thunderbolts again, thinking that someone might be challenging his role as leader. He wants to know EVERYTHING there is to know about this Pericles character. You set off into the agora to start your research. You vow to yourself that you will write a complete documentary on Pericles to put Zeus' mind at ease.
