If earlier chroniclers of human affairs had failed to bear witness in praise of history, it might perhaps have been necessary for me to urge all readers to seek out and pay special attention to writings such as these; for certainly mankind possesses no better guide to conduct than the knowledge of the past.
-Polybius (c. 203–120 BC)
The study of history is the best medicine for a sick mind; for in history you have a record of the infinite variety of human experience plainly set out for all to see; and in that record you can find for yourself and your country both examples and warnings; fine things to make as models, base things, rotten through and through, to avoid.
-Livy (59 BC – AD 17)
={{center|1=My Introduction}}=
My name is Eric Connor, but you can call me Pericles of Athens. I'm an American {{flagicon|US}} of Irish, English, Swedish, Italian, and Slovenian descent. I chose this username because Pericles is one of my favorite ancient Athenian statesmen and strategos. Currently I have a BA in History from George Mason University. I'm mostly interested in the History of China and Chinese art. However, I enjoy reading of history and art in general, from all time periods and places. I'm an avid guitar player, and on and off I play in a band with friends (and used to play nightclubs around my area). Although I like all types of music to an extent, metal is my thing, especially thrash metal bands like Testament and Anthrax. I also like Hardcore metal acts like Sick of It All and Madball. When it comes to Hip Hop, Wu Tang Clan does it best. For a greater understanding of who I am and what my staple sense of humor is, go to "Random Thoughts" and "Musical Preferences" below under the section Miscellaneous Stuff. To view pictures that I have uploaded to wikimedia commons, click here for my gallery. For a list of my minor edits to articles, as well as a list of all my DYK's (Did You Know?) featured on wikipedia's main page, click here.

| width="15" valign=top | Image:Cquote1.svg | align="center" | The pangs of hunger drove me from my home; with no idea of where to go I travelled on for miles until I reached a village, knocked on the nearest door, blurted out some clumsy words. The owner understood my need his warmth dispelled my shame that I'd come empty-handed. We played and sang till sunset, the wine-cups often tilted, with the pleasure of new-found friends we chanted and composed verses. I remember the story of the washerwoman. Ashamed that I lack the skills of general Chinese, how can I show my gratitude? I can only repay him in the world to come. | width="15" valign=bottom | Image:Cquote2.png |

=Mission Statement=
My main goal here is to improve all Chinese-history related articles on Wikipedia.org, since many are lacking in quality and even existence. Along with the many articles I have edited here on English wikipedia, I also have a goal of improving China-History related images for all wikipedias, not just English, to enjoy and employ in articles. Therefore, I have created my very own [http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:PericlesofAthens user profile for Wikimedia Commons], where I have created many pictures that can be used for all branches of wiki. Have a look, but don't blame me if you trap yourself there for about an hour staring at old art and artifacts (if you're into that sort of thing). I also maintain my own freewebs.com site dedicated to the [http://www.freewebs.com/chinesescienceandtechnology/index.htm History of Science and Technology in China].

|rowspan="2" valign="middle" | 100px |rowspan="2" | |style="font-size: x-large; padding: 0; vertical-align: middle; height: 1.1em;" | The Golden Wiki Award |
| style="vertical-align: middle; border-top: 1px solid gray;" | Few editors write DYKs. Fewer write GAs. And fewer still write FAs. I myself have been an editor here for almost two years and I've only managed to write one GA and two or three DYKs. Many of our colleagues never even achieve that. But not only do you write all three types of articles, you do it on a regular basis, and in one of the most neglected sections of the encyclopedia. Your contributions are of a professional level of excellence, both comprehensive and concise, yet fascinating and engrossing. Your collection of Song Dynasty articles remains one of the most remarkable accomplishments in Wikipedia's history. Only the featured topic on the Solar system, crafted by many editors over a long stretch of time, rivals this feat.
And yet you never lose your cool or your edge. Always friendly and diplomatic, you've proved refreshingly receptive and thoughtful towards suggestions for improvement and article critique. Your ability to consistently produce consistently fantastic content, escaping the drama and hubbub other prolific editors seem to find themselves in, while maintaining a level of scholarship that makes a fellow history major go "Damn...", you've become an example for other Wikipedians, including this one, to follow. I often hear people criticize Wikipedia's content - its systemic biases, its tragic imbalance towards video games and entertainment, its inaccuracies and mistakes. In these cases, I'm proud to be able to point to your contributions and prove them wrong. For this, not to mention everything else I've mentioned, you most clearly deserve this award.

I think it is good to pause here and just state for the record that The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! is my favorite comedy of all time, though.

{{cquote|"For heroes have the whole earth for their tomb; and in lands far from their own, where the column with its epitaph declares it, there is enshrined in every breast a record unwritten with no tablet to preserve it, except that of the heart."}}
- ^Pericles' Funeral Oration as recorded by Thucydides, Pericles, favorite orator
- I distinguish between maniacs and crazy people. A maniac will beat 9 people to death with a steel dildo. A crazy person will beat 9 people to death with a steel dildo, but he'll be wearing a Bugs Bunny suit at the time.
^ From George Carlin's Back in Town (1996). RIP George, you were a good man.
- Holy shit! It's the Satanic Falcon!
^ Philip Anselmo from Pantera, having fun on the road.

- Life is a beautiful struggle, people search through the rubble for a suitable hustle, some people using their noodle, some people using their muscle, some people put it all together, make it fit like a puzzle, say it with me now...
^I Try, by Talib Kweli.
I have mad respect for Tony Iommi from Black Sabbath, rock on brother.
- When it comes to drinking games, beer pong is the best, while the game speed-quarters comes in at a close 2nd.
- Hey guys! Can't we all just get along?
^Probably someone who totally got blown away shortly after saying this.
Is there some sort of astronomical scale to measure how funny Vincent Price is in the movie Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine?
Italian food has to be my favorite of all the ethnic types of foods.
Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert crack me up. I saw Jon Stewart live giving a stand up comedy performance with Mike Birbiglia in Maryland last summer. That was cool.
And to pay homage to the past, Strangers with Candy rules! You may disagree, and to that I would say, "Talk your monkey ass off." Quoting Principal Blackman, of course.
- Kazakhstan, the greatest country in the world! All other countries are run by little girls. Kazakhstan, number one, maker of potassium; all other nations have inferior potassium.
^I believe this needs no introduction, and if you are unfamiliar with it, you were probably born before 1940. Lol.

- I hate to do this to you, city of Baltimore, Maryland, but this video is just too damn funny: my favorite video found online at youtube.com is this hilarious [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i3CfzUFlRY 80s car commercial spoof]. Warning: foul and adult language! But funny. In a way it totally reminds me of Will Farrel in the movie Anchorman, when he says "Go **** yourself, San Diego." Hah.
- My favorite response to any wiki talk page ever is here.
- Mandarin Chinese profanity is hilarious!
And on a final note, I am truly embarrassed that the health care system of the tiny, resource-lacking nation of Cuba is able to provide universal health care when the most powerful nation on earth, the United States of America, does not.
