Pericles
Pericles was an influential statesman, orator, and general during Athens' Golden Age, particularly noted for his role in the development of Athenian democracy and the Athenian empire. He led Athens during the early part of the Peloponnesian War and is often remembered for his ability to articulate the values of democracy and civic duty. His famous Funeral Oration, as recorded by Thucydides, highlights the principles of Athenian society and the importance of collective sacrifice for the common good. Pericles' leadership and vision helped establish Athens as a cultural and political center in the ancient world.
