The Golden Age of Greece was after the Greek's wars with Persia which they won, by luck and the help of Athens' powerful navy. The Greek's realized that they needed to become one nation instead of separate city states who almost only shared a language.
Athens as the head, decided to setup the Delian League which all the city states in the alliance paid money to them in which they would create an army and navy in case the Persians tryed to attack them again. A good idea, right? It would have been if Athens hadn't become greedy. They did create a moderate army and navy, but most of the money went to their city. They created temples, theaters, buildings, everything. It was the height of Athens the classical era, or the Golden Age.
Sparta did catch on though and decided that Athens needed to be stopped. They fought the Peloponnesian War for 27 years in which Sparta finally won, BUT destroyed Greece in the process and made them vulnerable to the Macedonian invaders.
Phillip II conquered Greece but liked their culture and let them keep it. It was his son Alexander the great though that spread it across the known world.
