They were elected each year, one from each tribe. So in Pericles' time of 20 years, there were many, including Pericles himself.
Pericles' predecessor Ephialtes deposed the aristocratic dominance and replaced it with democracy. He was murdered for this, and his deputy Pericles took over and developed a more radical form of democracy where office bearers were selected by lot. The exception was the ten generals, as the citizens had no intention of being led in battle by some idiot picked randomly by lot, and a general was nominated by each of ten tribes.
There were many as each of the ten tribes elected a general each year. Generals served in both the army and navy. The best known would have been Pericles, and later his son Pericles. Also well known were the historian of the war Thucidydes, Alcibiades, Lysander and so on.
The ten generals, one nominated by each tribe, commanded the army and the war fleet. Under the democracy, as the magistrates and other officials were chosen by lot and not necessarily competent, any difficult task approved by the Assembly of the people usually had a rider 'and the generals will see to it'. They had confidence in the generals because no one selected dumb generals to lead them into battles.

Pericles was influential but not a ruler. Under the radical democracy system he introduces any citizen could be appointed - most were selected by lot from among the citizens, and to offset this, they were appointed in large numbers to ensure that there were some sensible and responsible ones in the mix. There was a council of 500 of which 50 were on duty 24/7. The exception was the ten generals - the people were not about to be led in war by some idiot whose name was drawn out of a barrel so each of the 10 tribes nominated a general they could trust.
There were many - Athens always had 10 generals at any one time, on elected from each of the ten tribes. An early well known one was Pericles, but he died early on from the plague. His son Pericles became a general, and the list goes on - some well-known/notorious ones were Alcibiades, Nicias, Thucydides, Theramenes,
