History: about 450-400 BCE, during the time Sparta was dominating the Peloponnesus and Athens the Aegan. This was essentially Athens's Golden Age, and the political leader Perikles was a major patron of the arts, which led to the creation of some of the greatest works that pervade even present-day models.
