Often in ancient Greek tragedy, the chorus engages in a frenzied song of joy, a crescendo of bliss, which – as a culmination of tragic irony – is placed just before the disaster.
The magnitude of previous happiness is thus contrasted in the most striking way with the magnitude of the tragic fall. Mutatis mutandis, Thucydides' Funeral Oration of Pericles is to the city of Athens what the joyful song of the chorus is in ancient tragedies before the collapse.
It is a dithyrambic hymn for the Athenian State, its democratic governance, and its citizen-soldiers, a hymn delivered in 431 BC, when the beginning of the end has already been set in motion with the outbreak of the Peloponnesian War.
It is a multi-dimensional and unique hymn; an ageless Praise for the Athenian State and its first dead, who consciously chose that it was worth sacrificing themselves for such a city.
