		The Archaic period followed the Greek Dark Ages, and saw significant advancements in political theory, and the rise of democracy, philosophy, theatre, poetry, as well as the revitalisation of the written language (which had been lost during the Dark Ages).
		In pottery, the Archaic period sees the development of the Orientalizing style, which signals a shift from the Geometric Style of the later Dark Ages and the accumulation of influences derived from Phoenicia and Syria.
		Pottery styles associated with the later part of the Archaic age are the fl-figure pottery, which originated in Corinth during the 7th century BC and its successor, the red-figure style, developed by the Andokides Painter in about 530 BC.

		All statues of ancient Greece were in fact painted with vivid colors and the technique of the vertical blows actually keyed the surface for the pigments.

	Archaic Period * People, Places, & Things * Greek Mythology: From the Iliad to the Fall of the Last Tyrant
		The Archaic Period of ancient Greece was roughly from 1100 BCE until the sack of Athens by the Persians in 480 BCE and denotes the artistic and literary style which preceded the Classical Age.
		The term archaic comes from the Greek word arkhaikos which literally means old fashioned, antiquated or primitive but most critics do not use the term in a negative sense, they simply use the word to denote an older but not necessarily inferior style.
		Many different authors and historians have chosen different dates for the beginning of the Archaic Period but, generally speaking, we may push the dawn of archaic styles all the way back to the Bronze Age (3000-1200 BCE) and the foundations of Greek culture.

	Gregory Nagy, section 3
		To repeat, the Greek poetic inscription in the earliest period, before 550 B.C.E.,, is not conceived as a transcript of performance, of a short poem: it is rather conceived as a poem, because it is written down, and because this writing down is conceived as an authoritative equivalent to performance.
		So we are still left, I maintain, without any internal Greek evidence to prove that the technology of alphabetic writing, as it existed during its earliest phases in the Greek archaic period, was necessary for the performance of the Homeric poems any more than it was necessary for their composition.
		The epic tradition of Homer, as Snodgrass inferred from the early proliferation of the and Odyssey, was a reflex of this trend of pan-Hellenism.

		It is certainly the case that in the archaic period in Greece female burials are marked with monuments and celebratory epigrams with far less frequency than male burials, and one way of explaining this dearth of monumental marking for women is their relative marginality in Greek society.
		Problematically, this particular statement of Sourvinou-Inwood applies to the archaic period, while at the end of the fifth century and with greater frequency in the fourth, the increasing domesticity of sepulchral inscriptions allows for more incidents of monumental burial for women.
		It is interesting to note that only one of the archaic and classical epigrams is for a dead female, while four of the fourteen from the fourth century (the gender of only thirteen can be accurately determined) are for females.
