pericles was born c. 495 bc, in athens, greece. he was the son of the politician xanthippus, who, though ostracized in 485–484 bc, returned to athens to command the athenian contingent in the greek victory at mycale just five years later. pericles' mother, agariste, a member of the powerful and controversial noble family of the alcmaeonidae, and her familial connections played a crucial role in helping start xanthippus' political career. agariste was the great-granddaughter of the tyrant of sicyon, cleisthenes, and the niece of the athenian reformer cleisthenes.
