"Little Journeys to the Homes of the Great, Volume 7" by Elbert Hubbard is a collection of essays written in the early 20th century. This volume focuses on notable orators throughout history, including figures such as Pericles and Mark Antony, exploring their lives, contributions, and the impact they had on society. Hubbard provides an engaging blend of biography and historical reflection, aiming to celebrate these great figures and offer insights into their
accomplishments and philosophies. At the start of this work, the author introduces the ancient Athenian leader Pericles with poignant reflections on his life and legacy. Hubbard presents a rich narrative that details Pericles' influence on Athenian democracy, his patronage of the arts, and his intimate relationship with Aspasia. The writing captivates readers with its lyrical style, intertwining historical facts with philosophical musings. The opening engages with the strong themes of love, power, and the burdens inherent in leadership, setting the stage for a deeper exploration of the great orators to follow in the collection.
