Me: Hi, Micheala. I’m here to interview you about the Golden Age of Greece. I was wondering when the Golden Age started?
Micheala: It started around 460. It was right after Greece won a battle against the Persians.
Me: Do you know anyone who contributed to the Golden Age or the Axis Age of Greece?
Micheala: Yes, Socrates contributed a lot to Greece’s Golden Age! He was the first westerner to start asking questions about government.
Me: Are there any major city-states during the Golden Age?
Micheala: Yes. Athens and Sparta are two major city-states but they are complete opposites. Athens made its government a democracy and is all about the arts and government. Sparta is the complete opposite. They don’t care about the arts at all. They only care about their army which is very powerful. They are both very great city-states! Athens is by far the biggest influence to the Golden Age of Greece.
Me: What do you think is important about the Golden Age or Axis Age of Greece?
Micheala: I think the Golden Age is important because it achieved many things. It made a powerful government, great art, philosophy (humanism and individualism), poetry, and drama. We also made the theater which I believe will change entertainment forever. The Golden Age is a great time for Greece and its people, and I am very proud to be living during it.
This era declined after the Peloponnesian War.
