Best Answer

Pericles was Athens ruler. He wanted to glorify Athens, which was one of his goals. He ruled until the Peloponnesian Wars occurred and a disease spread throughout Athens. Many died including Athens' leader Pericles!.

Another View:

Athens was a radical democracy - the citizens met in a fortnightly Assembly to consider laws and other propositions put before them by the Council. The Council implemented them.

In bringing propositions forward various leading citizens would address the Assembly. Pericles was a main one, and held considerable influence in swaying the Assembly - he had more wins than losses in this - but he definitely did not 'rule'. He thought of himself as First Citizen.

So the answer to the question is: The adult male citizens in Assembly.
