A golden age is a time of peace and prosperity in a country, or nation. A golden age normally ends with a devastating event that happens to the place. Pericles started the golden age in Greece. He had three major goals to make Athens a better place. His first goal was to strengthen Athens’ empire. His second goal was to strengthen democracy in Athens by paying government workers. His last goal was to glorify Athens. He did this by buying a lot of gold and marble. Many statues were built as well.
Question: Did Pericles ever get overthrown for wasting tons of money by making Athens “beautiful”?
