Demokritos: "Well, it all started at about 500 B.C. This has been a great time of government, art, philosophy, drama and poetry accomplishments. Athens adapted the new government style called democracy and it is when the government is ruled by the people.  This was under the rule of Pericles (460-429 B.C.) who also had major architectural acheivments: The Parthenon and the Acropolis.  The making of a greek theatre inspired wonderful playwriters and philosophers. Some great people that were alive during this age were Plato, Socrates, Aristotle, and Pythagrius.  Pythagrius, Hippocrates, Hippias, and Democritusa were all great mathematicians.  Socrate created the Socratic method and Aristotle was a mathematic writer.  There were also improvements in science and medicine."
