87-126) that the fifth century saw a shift, affecting both visual and verbal narrative, from 'aristocratic temporality' (focussed on self-validation by reference to the, mostly mythical, past) to 'democratic temporality' (more historical, linear, rational, and centred on the present and immediate future).
But he does discern a major division between the impact of sophists on Athens before and after 430: prior to that, they were positively engaged with and supportive of democracy; afterwards, they became associated with a disillusioned elite and with increasingly extreme views.
But Cole, he suggests, badly underrated the formal and substantive advancement of rhetorical practice in the fifth century, when democratic pressures on public speakers led to techniques, not least that of antilogy (polarised debating), which in due course became assimilated into literary (not least, Thucydidean) and philosophical modes of writing/thinking.

 Christian Heresies of the Fifth Century
Pelagianism derives its name from Pelagius who lived in the 5th century A.D. and was a teacher in Rome, though he was British by birth.
It is a heresy dealing with the nature of man. Pelagius, whose family name was Morgan, taught that people had the ability to fulfill the commands of God by exercising the freedom of human will apart from the grace of God.
The denial of the human nature of Christ is a denial of the true incarnation of the Word as a man. Without a true incarnation there can be no atonement of sin for mankind since it was not then a true man who died for our sins.

Athens and Persia in the Fifth Century BC (A Study in Cultural Receptivity)
It is a commonplace of modern scholarship that the Athenians hated and despised the Persians, but the claims of contempt are disproved by the evidence of archaeology, epigraphy, iconography and literature, all of which reveal some facet of Athenian receptivity to Achaemenid Persian culture.
This innovative study, the first comprehensive collection of evidence pertaining to the relations between Athens and Persia in the fifth century BC, aims to make this evidence better known and in so doing to argue that the social culture of classical Athens was not the monolithic construct it might appear.
