Classical

480–323 BCE

14 authors 357 works

From the Persian Wars to the death of Alexander, the Classical period is the golden age of Athenian democracy and pan-Hellenic culture. Tragedy and comedy dominate the stage; historiography, oratory, and philosophy—from Herodotus and Thucydides to Plato and Aristotle—define the intellectual landscape of the Greek world.
