Hardcover. 2 White paint marks on back cover else Near Fine. ; Pericles (also spelled Perikles) (ca. 495–429 BC) was a prominent and influential statesman, orator, and general of Athens during the city's Golden Age–specifically, the time between the Persian and Peloponnesian wars. He was descended, through his mother, from the powerful and historically influential Alcmaeonid family. Pericles had such a profound influence on Athenian society that Thucydides, his contemporary historian, acclaimed him as "the first citizen of Athens. " Pericles turned the Delian League into an Athenian empire and led his countrymen during the first two years of the Peloponnesian War. The period during which he led Athens, roughly from 461 to 429 BC, is sometimes known as the "Age of Pericles, " though the period thus denoted can include times as early as the Persian Wars, or as late as the next century. ; 351 pages .
