Golden age

Redirected from Golden Age

Golden age is a name given to a period in a field of endeavour where great tasks were accomplished. The term originated from early Greek and Roman poets who used to refer to a time when mankind lived in a utopia and was pure.

Within sequences or cycles of eras, the golden age stands alongside the silver age[?] and the iron age, and conditions can improve or decline according to one's conception of mythic progression.

Common Golden ages include:
