classical antiquity in greece was preceded by the greek dark ages ( 1200 – c. 800 bc), archaeologically characterised by the protogeometric and geometric styles of designs on pottery. following the dark ages was the archaic period, beginning around the 8th century bc. the archaic period saw early developments in greek culture and society which formed the basis for the classical period. after the archaic period, the classical period in greece is conventionally considered to have lasted from the persian invasion of greece in 480 until the death of alexander the great in 323. the period is characterized by a style which was considered by later observers to be exemplary, i.e., "classical", as shown in the parthenon, for instance. politically, the classical period was dominated by athens and the delian league during the 5th century, but displaced by spartan hegemony during the early 4th century bc, before power shifted to thebes and the boeotian league and finally to the league of corinth led by macedon. this period saw the greco-persian wars and the rise of macedon.
