Answer:

Rebuilding the Athenian Acropolis, including the Parthenon.

Step-by-step explanation:

Pericles ("surrounded by glory") was one of Athens statesmen and its leader who descends from one of the elite families in Athenian.

He concentrated all effort to make Athens the greatest of the Greek city and encouraged majority rule. This made Athens to be a pace setter both politically and culturally for other cities in Greece. He encouraged the construction of most structures in Acropolis including Parthenon.

The period during which he led Athenswas described as "Age of Pericles". He latter died after being infected by a plague and his death was a colossal loss to Athens.
