The statue of Pericles (also known as Perikles) was created by the Greek Sculptor Kresilas who was originally from Kydonia. Pericles was an powerful statesman in Athens through the Golden Age. He lived between 461 and 429 BC, and had a major influence on Athenian society. The Corinthian Helmet over his head symbolises his position as a General in the military. There are also other examples of it in the British Musuem and the Vatican Museum.
