Alexander the Great and Pericles effect on the development of western tradition Both men were leaders and advocates of "Democracy" the type of government that governs the Western World today. Alexander as king abolished oligarchy and established democracy. As leaders they founded cities, theaters, and gymnasia, built new roads, established common currency and promoted commerce among nations. At the time Pericles was considered the founder of democracy. However, democracy is said to be a slow social, polictical and economic process and cannot be created by just one individual.

Did Pericles have a last name?

If your question is about the Athenian general of 5th century B.C., Pericles (and ancient Greeks in general) used their father's name as their last name. Since Pericles's father was called Xanthippus and his grandfather from his mother's side was called Alcmeonidas, his full name would be: Pericles Xanthippus of the Alcmeonidae family. As general information, Greek names have meanings: Pericles= Surrounded by glory Xanthippus=Blond Horse Alexander=Protector/Defender of Men and so on.... Hope this helps.
