Pericles was an influential Greek statesman and general who led Athens during its most celebrated period, roughly from 461 to 429 BC, and transformed the Delian League into an Athenian empire while guiding the city through the early years of the Peloponnesian War. He is remembered as one of ancient Athens' most important leaders because of his prominence in politics and his role in shaping the city during what historians call the "Golden Age of Athens."

Perikles (altgriechisch Περικλῆς Periklḗs; * vor bzw. um 490 v. Chr.; † September 429 v. Chr.) gehörte zu den führenden Staatsmännern Athens und der griechischen Antike im 5. Jahrhundert v. Chr. Mit seinem Wirken gingen der Ausbau der Attischen Demokratie, die Sicherung der Vormachtstellung Athens im Attischen Seebund und die Durchführung eines glanzvollen Bauprogramms auf der Athener Akropolis einher. Als fortlaufender Inhaber der Strategenfunktion, des bedeutendsten Wahlamtes in der demokratisierten Gesellschaft Attikas, gelang es Perikles, der über vielgerühmte rhetorische Qualitäten verfügte, die Volksversammlung meist für seine politischen Anliegen zu gewinnen. Eine wesentliche Mitverantwortung fiel ihm dadurch auch in dem sich anbahnenden innergriechischen Machtkampf mit Sparta und dem von diesem dominierten Peloponnesischen Bund zu, der in den Peloponnesischen Krieg und den Niedergang der Hegemonie Athens mündete.
