The Athenian leader who died of the plague was Pericles. He played a crucial role in the development of Athenian democracy and the Athenian empire during the Golden Age of Athens. The plague struck Athens during the Peloponnesian War, severely impacting the city and its population, including Pericles, who succumbed to the disease in 429 BCE. His death marked a significant turning point in Athenian politics and leadership.
