What workers were important to the growth of Pericles leadership?
None, if you mean that they helped him to get more powerful. Pericles belonged to one of the ruling families of Athens. When he showed sufficient promise, these families put him in ever-more important positions. In politics, Pericles did work to give the 'lower classes' more political rights. His reasons for doing this however had much to do with his need for this group to serve as sailors and soldiers and fight for Athens.
Should Pericles the Athenian be prosecuted along with Bernard Madoff?
Yes, I think Pericles probably embezzled four or five times more money than Madoff stole. Where did he steal the money from? From the Delian League's treasury, which was moved to Athens from Delos immediately when Pericles was entitled "general." Pericles built the Acropolis in Athens with this money, was tried for stealing the money, and talked his way out of the trial.
What influenced pericles?
Pericles had been educated by some of the leading philosophers of his day. Pericles was strongly influenced by Aspasia, a female philosopher and courtesan from Miletus, who lived in Athens, Greece.

Pericles was determined to continue the reforms of his great uncle and serve his city-state by making it more democratic than ever.

Who was Pericles and what city was he a major political figure in?
Pericles was an Athenian general and political leader who succeeded his mentor Ephialtes who was murdered in 460 BCE by the aristocrats for reintroducing democracy in Athens. Pericles took the democracy to a more extreme stage where the assembly of citizens made the decisions and the Council of 5000 implemented them. He led Athens into a war with the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta. He died of plague a couple of years into the 27-year war, so we don't know if he could have guided Athens safely out of the war he brought on.
