Pericles son of Xanthippus was born in Cholargos one of the ten demoe of ancient Athens at 495 BCE. He was first elected at 461 BCE and ruled Athens until his death at 429 BCE.
Historians named the period of his ruling Golden Age of Athens since major developments took place in Athens and Greece at the time.
Pericles
Pericles was a general and political leader in Athens.
The disease that devastated the Athenians has been a matter of debate . The loss of Pericles from the disease compromised the Athenian war effort and may have led to the defeat of Athens by the Spartans due to a lack of quality leadership . The disease itself remains a moot point .
Pericles did not rule Athens - it was a democracy so the people ruled - attending assemblies every couple of weeks to vote on legislation. Pericles was effectively First Citizen, that is he wielded a lot of influence, but not so much that he had to orchestrate the exile of Thucydides son of Melesias who had organised a political party (first one on record) to oppose him in the assembly. Pericles' influence began in the 450s BCE, and ended with his death in 429 BCE.
Pericles was born in 495 BC and he died in Athens, Greece in 429 BC.
