Pericles
Pericles. Enjoy Life! :)
In 429 B.C, a plague came to athens and killed pericles and the leadership fell to inferior men.
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. He was also influenced by his great uncle, Cleisthenes. Cleisthenes had given Athens its first democratic constitution. Pericles was determined to continue the reforms of his great uncle and serve his city-state by making it more democratic than ever.
Philosophers Socrates, Plato and Aristotle,Phidias - the greatest sculptor and Pericles a great leader were from this golden age of Athens.
Pericles is regarded as the most successful and accomplished statesman of Ancient Greece. He was a general of Athens during its Golden Age, in the time in between the Persian and Peloponnesian wars. He is also remembered as an exceptional orator.
Pericles
Pericles was an influential political figure and statesman of ancient Athens during the 5th century BCE. He is widely regarded as one of the greatest leaders of Athens and played a crucial role in the city's Golden Age. Pericles implemented various democratic reforms, championed the arts and culture, and led Athens through a period of expansion and prosperity, making him instrumental in shaping the city's political and cultural landscape.
Pericles was not a tyrant. Athens was a radical democracy and Pericles was variously a magistrate and general but had to justify his actions to the popular Assembly. He gained ascendency by arranging the banishment of his main political opponent Thucydides son of Melesias, but preferred to think of himself as 'first citizen' and had to influence his people by persuasion. His influence was, unfortunately too great, and led his people into a disastrous war imagining that Athens could use its empire to dominate the Greek world. He died of the plague before seeing the catastrophe that this war brought to the Greek world in general and Athens in particular.
welll! I dont know?! I was trying too ask someone what it was.
Alexander the great was born in Pella in the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia on the northern Greek peninsula. He is considered by historians to be a Greek from the ancient kingdom of Macedonia just like Leonidas was a Greek from Sparta and Pericles was a Greek from Athens.
