do you believe people living in athens at the time realized they were living in a golden age
yes Athens and Sparta
People living in the same time as Sophocles include other notable ancient Greek playwrights like Euripides and Aeschylus, prominent statesmen such as Pericles of Athens, and the renowned philosopher Socrates. They were all contemporaries during the golden age of Athens in the 5th century BC.
Living accommodations in Sparta were harsh. Not so much in Athens for the time.

Athens' Golden Age arose from its use if the funds of the anti-Persian League (Delian League) for its own benefit after it turned the League into a virtual empire of its own. The funds were diverted from their purpose and used to glorify Athens and put half its population on the public payroll. The money bought buildings (Parthenon etc), sponsored the arts, philosophy, literature and science and lifted living standards of the city, and attracted the best talent from the other cities of the Greek world. Comparatively it was a Golden Age for Athens, but not for the other cities which were compelled to pay for it. It lasted until Athens over-reached itself and was stripped of its empire after a disastrous 27-year war, after which paying for it itself brought the city back to reality.
Athens. It was a city-state surrounded by farmland, a population of 250,000 all living within walking distance of the city.
It was Alexander the Great from ancient Athens. He counquered many place's known to man in ancient Athens.
