The Golden Age Of Ancient Greece


The Golden Age was a time of peace and prosperity. It’s usually new inventions or ideas. It can also be achievements and art and architecture. One country that went through the Golden Age was Ancient Greece, which was ruled by Pericles. He had three specific policies; to strengthen democracy, strengthen the Athenian Empire, and glorify Athens. He created a direct democracy and the Delian League, which controlled all city-states. He paid artists to create arts with the money that came from the Delian League. He also used the Delian League’s money for the navy.

From where did Pericles get money for the navy?

Pericles got the money for the navy from the Delian League, which controlled all the other city-states.
