Pericles was not a democracy. Pericles was a statesman in Athens and was considered today as a general. Pericles did not make Democracy. The people of Greece did.
Ancient Greece (specifically, Athens) practiced Direct Democracy. There was no president, nor were there governmental representatives. The people voted directly on the issues themselves rather than having representatives in government.
It was the most logical profession because Greece has a large amount of coastal area.
Much of our architecture has come from Ancient Greece. The Parthenon inspired the Lincoln Memorial. Our law system is based off of Roman law. It was the first system to have full time judges right to face accusers laws that applied throughout the empire, Provinces could also make their own laws. (similar to federal and state law)
They had an experiment in direct democracy in the 5th Century BCE. It reached it's peak in the second half of that cemtury in Athens as a direct democracy - that is the citizens gathered each fortnight and gave directions to the Council and passed laws put before them. It was not very successful as the people were easily deluded by orators leading them up false paths, and into a disastrous 27-year war with the Peloponnesian League which they lost. The people began to lose interest in it, and more autocratic forms of government returned. To day we have representative democracy, electing representatives to parliament as the ability to get the populace together is impracticable in most countries. They produced the idea, but we implement it in a quite different way, and often not all that successfully. The general feeling in ancient Greece was that a well-conducted oligarchy was a better form of government than a democracy where the people were manipulated. Not much different from today.
