Question

Describe the golden age of ancient greece?

Answer 1

The period that began with the victory of the Greeks over  Persia in the Persian War (546-479 B.C.), and ended with the civil conflicts of the Peloponnesian  War (431-404 B.C.) is called the "Golden Age of Greece" because during this time, the city states of the Greek peninsula attained a high level of culture and political stability. It is also called the "Periclean Age," after Pericles, Athens' leading politician. This period is characterized by great accomplishments in the areas of government, drama, poetry, art and philosophy.

During the Golden Age, the Democracy was born in Athens, the Greek theatre produced some of its greatest playwrights, and  philosophers such as Socrates and Plato challenged man's thought processes.  During this era, the Parthenon was built.
