Possibly. First of all, though, I need to know what YOU THINK Pericles' definition of "ideal democracy" was.

Answer 6

Pericles believed that the people should represent equality at all levels and he worked to ensure that every Athenian had land and some link to their state and its government. Power rested in the hands of all those who made the state’s business their business and the only way to ensure that the people cared for the state was to ensure that they had a vested interest in the state.
