In ancient Greece, Pericles was a great leader and statesman who was so admired during his lifetime that the era in which he lived (about 495 to 429 BCE) was later called the Age of Pericles. After the Persian Wars ended, he was credited with rebuilding Athens. Pericles was also known as a strong supporter of democracy.

Pericles was important because he let all of the male citizens vote and run what they were best at whether they were poor or rich. He believed that if are good at what you like to do, you get the job. He also improved the democracy of Athens and built the Acropolis. He led the Athenian army in the Second Sacred War, the Capture of Gallipoli, the capture of Euboea, and the Samian War.
