How did the Greeks make mirrors?
The ancient Greeks made mirrors primarily from polished metal, such as bronze or silver, which they shaped into reflective surfaces. They would create a flat surface by carefully polishing the metal to enhance its reflectivity.

These mirrors were often small and handheld, used for personal grooming and decoration.
Who was the ruler of Athens during its Golden Age?
Pericles was Athens ruler. He wanted to glorify Athens, which was one of his goals. He ruled until the Peloponnesian Wars occurred and a disease spread throughout Athens. Many died including Athens' leader Pericles!.
Another View:
Athens was a radical democracy - the citizens met in a fortnightly Assembly to consider laws and other propositions put before them by the Council. The Council implemented them.
In bringing propositions forward various leading citizens would address the Assembly. Pericles was a main one, and held considerable influence in swaying the Assembly - he had more wins than losses in this - but he definitely did not 'rule'. He thought of himself as First Citizen.
