Pericles initially boosted Athens into forming and empire, but this ended as a 27-year war which greatly weakened the Greek world.
This on-going weakness opened the way for Macedonia's king Philip to dominate Greece, and plan greater things - the subjugation of the Persian Empire.
Alexander profited from Philip's assassination in taking over the planned expedition and captured the Persian Empire. However his early death left this kingdom divided amongst his generals, who established their own kingdoms and warred against each other.
In the individual participation in the democracy
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.
Pericles was a general and political leader in Athens.
Athens in Ancient Greece
Greek history spans many millennia and was made up of a loosely ordered conglomerate of city states with varying political structures, so there was no one "leader" of ancient Greece. The one time that stands out however is when Greece was united against Persia, a common foreign enemy to all the Greeks, under the leadership of Alexander the Great, son of King Phillip, from the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia on the northern Greek Peninsula.
hmm pericles is man from ancient greece ;)
Pericles.
Pericles and Alexander the Great were both influential leaders in ancient Greece who significantly shaped their respective eras. They shared a commitment to the advancement of Greek culture, with Pericles promoting democracy and the arts in Athens, while Alexander spread Hellenistic culture through his conquests. Both leaders were charismatic and strategic, inspiring loyalty among their followers and achieving notable military successes. Additionally, they left lasting legacies that influenced future generations in politics, philosophy, and the arts.
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.
