i did pericles as our personality.. i don't think modern scholars approach pericles any different to ancient scholars; rather, its more the different opinions amongst scholars.
you've probably looked at these, but for ancient scholars u wanna look at plutarch [life of pericles] as ur main src of info... as well as thucydides [peloponnesian wars] and aristotle [the athenian constitution].
for modern scholars...*thinks* i used A.R. Burn, R Meiggs, and Diane Kagan... but of course, theres heaps others. good luck!

In relation to the idea of democracy? Thucidides said "in reality the power lay in the hands of the first citizen". This idea of a strategos autocrator is continued in The Athenian Politaea by aristotle, who those Pericles introduction of paying jurors was a sign of corruption to the democracy.
