there are two main usage of the term, "classical". first,it is a term that denotes historical period of development. In music and other branches of arts, this period implies the general characteristics of harmony, balance, simplicity and elegance, which took place from 1750 to 1800. among the famous composers of the classical period were Mozart and Haydn.
The second usage the one that refers to the name of the musical genre - classical music, that covers a very wide range of musical styles and period, whether baroque, classical, or romantic, with a general impression of elegance, grandeur and majesty. Therefore, every musical work that is written especially on the common practice era, 1600-1900, can be classified as classical. although medieval chants and rennaissance motets like that of Da Pallestrina can also appear in the classical music genre, there is still no justification of confusion, because they are still one of the fore fathers and great foundations of musical development aside from what have been mentioned above. In other words, in order for a composition to be classified as classical, they must posses any or whole of the following classical characteristics mentioned above, second, they must be written between 1600-1900, third, must be one of the musical styles where our present and contemporary and pop music forms of the modern day, evolved and lastly, must be sacred in nature, because, generally sacred music always fall on the classical category.
the term classical also denotes zenith and golden age, so in a historical perspective, classical era is used! for example, the period of enlightenment during the early baroque period is also termed as classical revival, whereas, it is the golden age of reasoning! now, the difference between classical Greek and Roman is their origin. obviously, classical style with a greek origin can be called as classical Greek and for Rome, classical roman.
What purposes does the flood myth serve the ancient Greeks?
The same purpose it serves in any religious or mythological text; it provides a means to explain natural features, a thinning of population and a "clean slate" from which to establish the current relationship with the deity of choice.
The Greek Flood marks the end of the Bronze Age, the third of the five ages of Ancient Greek, according to myth. According to myth, Zeus made men from Ash Trees during this age, making them hard and firm. As a result, they were warlike and wicked, and in the end, Zeus destroyed them because they refused to acknowledge his greatness over theirs. The only survivors were Deucalion, son of Prometheus, and his wife, Pyrrha. They repopulated the Earth by tossing stones (the bones of their mother) over their shoulders; those he threw became men, and those she threw became women. And from them man learned to fear and revere the gods of Olympus. Thus began the Heroic Age.
What is considered the most glorious era in Greek history?
Answer Time of Alexander the Great I would start with researching the time of Alexander the Great. He was only in his 20's when he conquered the known world spreading Greek culture across it and changing the world forever. For example Julius Caesar idolized Alexander and his accomplishments. And when Julius Caesar conquered Egypt the queen at the time was a descendant of one of Alexander the Great Generals. This general took control of Egypt after Alexanders death and became Pharoh. This Greek descendant who was a Eqyptian Pharoh was Cleopatra. To me the time of Alexander was the greatest time for Greece. Others might say it was the Hellenistic period which pertains to Greek culture, art or history after Alexander. Good luck with your inquiry. Sincerely, Xena Well... Alexander wasn't Greek and the Greeks resented him when he claimed he was, they thought little of the Macedonians. I'd say the most glorious era for ancient Greece was July 480BC when Leonidas and his contigent of various greek forces showed the world glory can be obtained in death against an innumerable evil. They have been remembered as the greatest men ever to walk the earth! Almost there... The above is correct but a little vague. it wasn't just the battle at thermopylae (leonidas) that was glorious for Greece, but thewhole of the Persian war, (490 and 480-479) in which the Greeks defeated the Persians at Marathon, Salamis, Plataea and Mycal. although Themopylae was very heroic stand, the Spartans did ultimatly lost Not quite. First of all, Alexander was very Greek indeed, since Macedon was a greek kingdom and not a slavic one-Slavs came in the area about 9 centuries after Alexander. The most glorious era of ancient Greece is considered the'Golden Age of Pericles', which is the years after the Persian Wars (479 B.C) and before the Peloponnesian War (431-404 B.C). In this period of 50 years all the arts and sciences flourished in a way that would shape Western civilization as it is today. Ideas such as democracy and liberal freedom were put to the test and affected our modern way of thinking.
Well done "Not Quite"
Macedonia was and still is a state/region of northern Greece.
Do not make the mistake of labelling Alexander's ethnicity as Macedonian as that term refers to a region not an enthic background of an individual.
An example is the Spartans. We call them Spartans because of the region of Greece they were from, not because of their ethnicity. They were Greeks.
Alexander the Great never missed a chance to verify his pride for his Greek ancestry.
As a member of the Argead dynasty, Alexander claimed patrilineal descent from Heracles through Caranus of Macedon. From his mother's side and the Aeacids, he claimed descent from Neoptolemus, son of Achilles
He spread Greek culture to the known world through his conquests.
Alexander, Phillip and all his generals had Greek names. Why? Because they were Greek.
All archeological evidence points to these facts and more.
Reality Bites
Let's forget the warfare stuff - there is no real glory in was and slaughter and misery of vast numbers of innocent people. And empires and kingdoms don't mean glory either. The cultural environment is most appropriate, and for Greece this was it's Golden Age 500-300 BCE, when Greece opened up culture and science to the world.

What was the quality of life in ancient Greece?
Chances are really good that no one used to today's conveniences would enjoy living in ancient Greece. Even if you're of a high status, it still would not offer many of the niceties of today.
