The Golden Age of Greece

I asked a couple of the Athens soldiers about the Golden Age of Greece. My first question was, when did the Golden Age of Greece began? The response i received was, "it began with the brilliant victory of the Greeks over the imperial rule over Persia during the Persian war between the years of 546 and 479 B.C."

My next question was, what is the Golden Age of Greece? The Athens soldier said that "the Golden Age was also known as the Axis Age. He said in the Golden Age of Greece the Grecian states in the peninsula achieved a high status in culture and political constancy. During this period Greece achieved outstanding success in their government, art, philosophy, drama and poetry."

I then emailed another soldier with the question, Did this Age set any type or form of a precedent? "Of course it did, he stated very clearly, This era showed the birth of a democracy, which during that period of time was very rare to see."
