Definition. by Joshua J. Mark. Pericles (495â429 BCE, whose name means surrounded by glory) was a prominent statesman, famous orator, and general (in Greek 'Strategosâ) of Athens during the Golden Age of Athens. So profound was his influence that the period in which he led Athens has been called the 'Age of Periclesâ. This statesmanâs influence on Athenian society was so great that Thucydides, his contemporary admirer and historian, called him the first citizen of Athens.
