Golden Age of Athens

Golden Age of Athens

Describe and discuss the impact of the Golden Age of Athens upon the development of the Visual Arts and Architecture of ancient Greece. Be sure to reference at least one specific example (primary source) of visual art (sculpture) or architecture (building) to illustrate your conclusions. An understanding of the three Athenian ideals: arete (excellence), kalokagathia (balance), and sophrosyne (moderation) is essential.
