There are various periods of history called dark ages. These were times when people did not leave much in the way of records or archaeological evidence of their activities. They were not dark because the people who lived in them were ignorant or miserable, but because we cannot see what was going on in them clearly.

When and why did the dark age occur in ancient grecce?

There were two times called Dark Ages associated with Greece. The first was the Greek Dark Ages, which lasted from 1200 to 800 BC. The other was a period in the Early Middle Ages lasting from about 630 to 800 AD. This is a time in the Early Middle Ages, or Dark Ages, that is sometimes referred to as the Byzantine Dark Ages.


Is the name dark ages accurate?

I would say the name Dark Ages creates a misunderstanding of the time. The original meaning of the term Dark Ages was a time that was obscure because people did not write much down. The term implies a time especially troubling and difficult. While the Dark Ages were a time with their share of wars, plague, and famine, they were really more a time of recovery from the collapse of the Roman Empire. The Carolingian Renaissance, the Macedonian Renaissance, and the Ottonian Renaissance were all times of cultural advance during the so-called Dark Ages.


What was Europe like after the roman empire fell?

The Roman Empire's fall left Europe vunerable to the savage attacks of the Vikings and the tribes from the east. Christianity took over for some time, and then the Barbarian tribes from the east came into the west and moved the people further west-ward. After some time, the Vikings came down from the North and first attacked Lindisfarne and then the rest of the monastaries or what not. This era is called the Medieval Era and it goes on for hundreds of years.


Why is this period titled the Dark Ages?

It lasted until the end of the Middle Ages in some parts of Europe.

AnswerThey started putting too much faith in the gods and got so scared of them that they didn't do anything that might them in the slightest way. AnswerThere is a bit of a problem with this question, because there was a time called the Greek Dark Ages, from about 1200 to 800 BC, and there was a time in the Dark Ages when very little was written in Greece.
