Classical Greece: 600 BCE - 600 CE Second-Wave Civilizations

Classical Greece was a period of significant political and cultural development, during the years 600 BCE to 600 CE.

This period is often referred to as the ‘second-wave’ civilizations due to the establishment of powerful empires and the emergence of democratic forms of government.

During this time, Ancient Greece developed a complex agricultural system, religious practices, and an appreciation of literature, art, and philosophy.

The city-states of Athens and Sparta were the two most influential and powerful states during this period.

Athens was a center of intellectual activity and developed a democratic form of government, while Sparta was a militaristic society focused on physical training and warfare.

During this period, the Greeks developed a unique form of writing called the alphabet, which was the basis for the development of the Western writing system.

Some of the most influential thinkers of the Classical period were Plato, Aristotle, and Socrates.
