  Potidaea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Potidaea (Greek: Ποτίδαια Potidaia, modern transliteration: Potidea) was a colony founded by the Corinthians around 600 BCE in the narrowest point in Pallene (now Kassandria) in the western point of Chalcidice in what was known as Thrace.
The people revolted against the Athenians in 432 BCE, but it was besieged during the Peloponnesian War and taken in the Battle of Potidaea in 430 BCE.
The Athenians retook the city in 363 BCE, but in 356 BCE Potidaea fell into the hands of Philip II of Macedon.

 - Festival Hemerologia of Attike -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
By the early 4th century BCE there had evolved a Seleukidai calendar of 12 months of 30 days with 5 days at the end of the year (6 days in leap years).
In 432 BCE they began to intercalate 7 months per cycle - one leap month in each of the years 3, 6, 8, 11, 14, 17, and 19 - to maintain the calendar's integrity.
I have another reference which states the "Attikos Hemerologia" adapted in 264 BCE by Timaios of Sikelia counted back to the year the Olympic Games began in 776 BCE and was a luni-solar calendar of 12 months alternating in length between 29 and 30 days.

In the front view the drapery clings damply to the flesh and has the effect of nudity; over the figure's right thigh a series of curving ridges ("modelling lines") stress the roundness of the limb so that it looks still rounder than the naked left thigh.
The original, made about 440 BCE, was of bronze and the most famous work of Polykleitos.
The composition is still four-square, designed principally for front and side views, but the proportions and the pose have been planned thoughtfully, so that none of the major axes of the figure are strictly vertical or horizontal.

 Learning Architecture: 02
Architecture has been recognized as one of the learned professions from the earliest times of recorded history, but its roots lie in the prehistoric agricultural revolution, which brought people together in villages, towns and cities and resulted in the rise of specialized occupations.
This method of communication was soundly criticized by Socrates (470-399 BCE) for its ability to disguise the truth by avoiding discourse and cross-examination, as later recorded in writing by his student Plato (427-347 BCE) in the Dialogue with Phaedrus (Plato, 370 BCE).
The earliest surviving treatise on architecture was written by the Roman architect and engineer Vitruvius (Marcus Vitruvius Pollio, 70-25 BCE), in which he set forth three guiding principles—strength, function, and beauty (or, in Sir Henry Wotton's translation, firmness, commodity and delight) (Wilson, 1992).

According to scholars who know about This Sort Of Thing, the 'golden age' (also referred to as the classical age) of ancient Greece lasted from about 500 BCE to 300 BCE.
I'm pretty sure that any Greek golden age would have to include the making of the first souvlaki, though (historians fail to report whether the unfortunate Anastasoula was one of the ingredients).
Forty-eight years, from 479 BCE to 431 BCE - and it was the Golden Age of Classical Athens, Dr. Bob; please get the terms correct.
