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.

Did Pericles have a last name?

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.
