Athens had many leader over the centuries. Which period did you mean?
Themistocles..
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.
It was the Athenian leader Pericles (461-429B.C.) who was responsible for the Athens growth in power. It would be an error to not mention Thermistocles.
Pericles, a strong political leader, furthered and promoted Athenian democracy, but did not invent or have the idea of a democracy in Athens.
As the leader of the democratic faction of Athenian politics that swept into power, Pericles did change the democracy in Athens.
