Pericles was but a boy after the repelling of the Persian invasion in 479 BCE.

His building programme in Athens after peace was made with Persia was financed by the anti-Persian league treasury which he shifted from the temple at Delos to Athens and pillaged for the benefit of Athens.

Did Pericles fight bravely in the Persian War and become the leader of Athens?

The Persian War lasted from 499 BCE to 449 BCE. In the earlier stages of the Persian invasion he was a boy and so did not fight. The ongoing war with Persia was largely carried by the general Cimon. Pericles became an important leader later about the time peace was made with Persia. His fighting was mainly in internal Greek wars, including pushing Athens into a disastrous 27-year war with the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta. He died of plague two years into that war.
