To achieve the "Golden Mean" in any particular way in life was, for many ancient Greeks, to find the right balance for the action or outlook in question -- and thus to find happiness or success in some respect. For example, in battle, one needed to strike a balance between overly aggressive action (recklessness) and cowardice in order to achieve the "Golden Mean" of courage.

What role did the golden ratio play in Greek Architecture?

The common belief is that the Greeks used the golden ratio (~1.618) for the relation between a building's length and its height. Mario Livio, who wrote a book on the golden ratio, claims that these ratios are actually somewhere between 1.4 and 2.0, so that may have been a myth.
