The Athenian economy boomed because Athens ripped off annual contributions from up to 200 other cities, collected by force if necessary. It collapsed when the Peloponnesian League defeated Athens and stripped it of its empire, and Athens collapsed into a second rate country.

Pericles was considered the greatest ruler of Athens during the ancient times. He's the one who helped the town of Athens in their time of need, because of the Peloponnesian Wars raging on. The ruler, was the one who developed some of the landmarks you hear of today. One of his most famous one is The Parthenon. The Parthenon is a temple dedicated to the wise goddess, Athena. Also, this construction was to include the ivory and gold statue of Athena, the Acropolis, and various temples to other goddesses, like Victory (Nike)! Pericles was also considered an outstanding orator, or a public speaker. He was known for his speeches that would easily persuade people to think in his favor. This, however, was just one of his specialties. One of them being in Politics and the management of the Military.

They didn't have a true leader during that time. They were under a direct Democracy of about 400 people. It was a lot like our Senate today.
Pericles was important because he let all of the male citizens vote and run what they were best at whether they were poor or rich. He believed that if are good at what you like to do, you get the job. He also improved the democracy of Athens and built the Acropolis. He led the Athenian army in the Second Sacred War, the Capture of Gallipoli, the capture of Euboea, and the Samian War. So, in conclusion, Pericles was very important to Athens because he improved many things but, sadly, because of his death, Athens lost their empire.
