Periclean might refer to
Pericles (; Greek: Περικλῆς Periklēs, pronounced [pe.ri.klɛ̂ːs] in Classical Attic; c. 495 – 429 BC) was a prominent and influential Greek statesman, orator and general (strategos) of Athens during its 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, the same family from which had issued Cleisthenes, the man credited by Herodotus with introducing Greece's first democracy. Pericles had such a profound influence on Athenian society that Thucydides, a 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. * Pericles promoted the arts and literature; it is principally through his efforts that Athens acquired the reputation of being the educational and cultural center of the ancient Greek world. He started an ambitious project that generated most of the surviving structures on the Acropolis (including the Parthenon). This project beautified and protected the city, exhibited its glory, and gave work to the people. Pericles also fostered Athenian democracy to such an extent that critics call him a populist. He, along with several members of his family, succumbed to the Plague of Athens in 429 BC, which weakened the city-state during a protracted conflict with Sparta.Pericles lived through the Greco-Persian Wars of 490 (Marathon) and 480-479 (Salamis and Plataea). He sponsored, at the age of twenty or so, the earliest surviving tragic drama by Athens's and Greece's first master of that evergeen theatrical genre: the Persians of Aeschylus first staged in the Theater of Dionysus at the foot of the Athenian Acropolis in early 472. He was intimately connected with the building program on the top of the Acropolis that witnessed the construction preeminently of the Parthenon (447-432). He hobnobbed with leading intellectuals of the day, both Athenian and foreign. His private life – living with a foreign Greek woman to whom he could not legally be married, thanks to a law that he had himself sponsored in 451 – was a scandal that writers of comic drama considered a gift. Above all, so far as posterity is concerned, Pericles made such a huge – and hugely favorable – impression on Herodotus's principal successor as a writer of big Greek history, Thucydides of Athens (c.472-400), that Thucydides came near to calling him uncrowned monarch of Athens, and to writing his history of the Atheno-Peloponnesian War (431-404) in terms of the Athenians' adherence to or failure to adhere to the policies and strategies advocated, so persuasively,...
