Perikles (c. 495 BCE – c. 429 BCE), also known as Pericles, was an Greek politician and general who led Athens in the early years of the Peloponnesian War.[1]
Presiding over the Golden Age of Athens, a period where Athenian intellectual thought and democracy reached its peak, Pericles shouldered the burden of defending the city against Sparta when war between the two Hellenic powers erupted. Rather than facing them in direct battle, however, he had the military turtle within the city, much to the chagrin of its anxious populace.[1]
His strategy owed to his stoic and calculating nature, but his pragmatism was perceived by the besieged Athenians as apathetic. At the very root of his defensive policy, however, was his love for his hetaera Aspasia, and his desire to protect her and the city at all costs.[1]
