Archaic Period In Greece




The Archaic period followed the Dark Ages , and saw significant advancements in Political Theory , and the rise of Democracy , Philosophy , Theatre , Poetry , as well as the revitalisation of the written language (which had been lost during the Dark Ages ).

The period takes its name from what, in Art History , was considered the archaic or old-fashioned style of sculpture and other works of art/craft that were characteristic of this time — as opposed to the more natural look of work made in the following Classical Period (see Classical Sculpture ).
