Words To Know

Golden Age – a period of great wealth (money), prosperity,

cultural and scientific achievement in areas such as art,

science, literature and math.

Let’s Set The Stage…

Ancient Greece was divided into many city-states, each with their own culture, that often fought wars with one another. So, it should not be surprising that the golden age of the Greek civilization was not shared between them. Instead, Athens, from 461-429 B.C.E., dominated the other city-states and prospered as a result. The Golden Age of Athens took place during the rule of a man named Pericles. Through his leadership, Athens experienced a period of artistic and scientific growth, so the golden age is often referred to as the “Age of Pericles.”
