| Political philosophy, in its broad extent, accounts for what men do in the cave, what they do during the revolution on Corcyra and during the plague in Athens. when Athens, under its renowned general Pericles, interfered in a battle between a Spartan ally, Corinth, and Corcyra, preventing Corinth from invading Corcyra. The Athenians were drawn in when faced with the prospect that the Corinthians might conquer hitherto neutral Corcyra and, by bringing together under their control the second and third largest fleets in Greece, emerge as a threat to Athens on the sea. |
