The Athenian Empire and the Coming of the Peloponnesian War
Tides of History
Leadership Shapes Destiny
Pericles was instrumental in shaping Athenian political and military strategy from 461 BC until his death in 429 BC. His dominance as a leader allowed for the formulation of long-term goals and strategic plans, transforming Athenian policy. Under his guidance, significant achievements like the construction of the Parthenon and the expansion of the Delian League into the Athenian Empire occurred. His diplomatic skills led to a peace treaty ending the first Peloponnesian War, demonstrating his influence in both war and peace. By the time the second Peloponnesian War began in 431, Pericles had ensured that Athens was equipped and prepared for conflict through investments in defense, solidifying his legacy as a pivotal figure in Athenian history.
