No, Pericles was not a tyrant of Athens. He was a prominent and influential statesman, orator, and general during Athens' Golden Age, particularly known for his role in developing democracy and the Athenian empire. His leadership is often associated with the flourishing of arts, philosophy, and architecture in Athens, including the construction of the Parthenon.
