What were the economic effects on Ancient Greece after the Persian Wars

Athens turned the Delian League, which it led, into an empire ofits own, continuing to levy the war funds, by force, and spendingthem on its own beautification, putting half its people on thepublic payroll, and becoming a centre of the arts.
