Pericles was married twice, his first wife was unknown as there was no records of her name to be found anywhere and his second wife was an foreigner named Aspasia
Pericles IS his first name
Pericles is a man's name. He is a character in Greek Myth and in the Shakespearean play Pericles.
Pericles' full name was Pericles, son of Xanthippus. He was an ancient Greek statesman and a general in Athens. He was born around 495 BC and died in 429 BC.
Pericles mother's name was Agariste. She was of noble birth from the family of the Alcmaeonidae.
The story "The Skill of Pericles" features the characters Pericles, King of Tyre, Thaisa, his wife, their daughter, and the family's trusted steward, Helicanus. The plot revolves around the themes of loyalty, betrayal, and reconciliation.
If your question is about the Athenian general of 5th century B.C., Pericles (and ancient Greeks in general) used their father's name as their last name. Since Pericles's father was called Xanthippus and his grandfather from his mother's side was called Alcmeonidas, his full name would be: Pericles Xanthippus of the Alcmeonidae family. As general information, Greek names have meanings: Pericles= Surrounded by glory Xanthippus=Blond Horse Alexander=Protector/Defender of Men and so on.... Hope this helps.
