The Golden Age of Greece was from around 500 BC to 340 BC, about 200 years, when Phillip of Macedon kicked everybody’s butt. They never really got over that thrashing and that aws the end of “classical” Greece and began the Hellenic priod. I would put the Goldenest age around 510 BC with the Constitution from Cleisthenes’ to 430 BC with the death of Pericles.
