		In the Archaic and Classical periods, Greece was not unified but was comprised of hundreds of small, independent poleis or "city-states." During the Hellenistic period, Greek civilization spread into the Near East and large kingdoms became the norm.
		But again, Finley was probably right to argue that during the Archaic and Classical periods the vast majority of economic activity was left untouched by government and carried out by private individuals.
		As in the Archaic period, the most important economic sector was still tied to the land and the majority of agriculture continued to be carried out on the subsistence level by numerous small family farms, even though the distribution of land among the population was far from equal.

	NYU Course: Music Literature--The Classical Period
		The terms "classic" and "classical" came into use in the 18th and 19th centuries as Europe began to identify with antiquity, especially ancient Greece and the ideals manifest in that culture.
		In music, we use classical to describe a style, and specifically to describe a period of history from approximately the last half of the eighteenth century through the first decade of the 19th Century.
		"Classical" is especially troublesome since it is used by many as a way of distinguishing music from pop and rock genres, as though anything that is not "pop, rock" "folk" or "country western," etc. is "classical" music.

	Xunzi (Hs�n Tzu) [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy]
		It was a time of great variety of thought, comparable to classical Greece, so Xunzi was acquainted with many competing ideas.
		Xunzi lived toward the end of the Warring States period (453-221 BCE), generally regarded as the formative era for most later Chinese philosophy.
		In reaction to some of the other thinkers of the time, he articulated a systematic version of Confucianism that encompasses ethics, metaphysics, political theory, philosophy of language, and a highly developed philosophy of education.

	Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2005.04.66
		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.
		Such a definition of Orphism, moreover, would apply not only to the countercultural religious groups of the classical period but also to the later traditions that appealed to the ancient wisdom of Orpheus to validate their ideas" (italics mine).
		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.

	Classical archaeology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Even during the Classical period, it is completely untrue to say that Greece had one true culture - a great deal of regional variation was present, and much of the study of Greek archaeology lies in examination of these regional differences.
		Greek archaeology covers the Hellenistic period as well, frequently compelling the classical archaeologist to examine the Greek influences present in all the areas that were part of Alexander the Great's empire, including much of the Middle East and Egypt.
		Classical archaeologists interested in Greece frequently discuss Crete and the Minoan civilization present on that island during the Bronze Age.

	412/512: Hellenistic Greece
		Greek culture and civilization continued to flourish in the Hellenistic period: art and sculpture reached impressive levels of technical sophistication; scientists and scholars established great centers of learning like the Library at Alexandria; and new schools of philosophy continued the great tradition of classical Athens.
		The Hellenistic Period was a time in which Greek civilization and culture had spread throughout the eastern Mediterranean world, and in which the great civilizations of the ancient Near East — Egypt, Babylonia, Phoenicia — were under the control of Greek-speaking dynasties.
		Of special interest in this regard is Hellenistic Egypt, which is the source of an immense number of documents written in both Greek and Egyptian, and whose social, economic and political history can be reconstructed at a level of detail impossible for other parts of the Hellenistic world.

	Greek architecture
		Architecture (building executed to an aesthetically considered design) was extinct in Greece from the end of the Mycenaean period (about 1200 BC) until the 7th century, when urban life and prosperity recovered to a point where public building could be undertaken.
		But since most Greek buildings in the Archaic and Early Classical periods were made of wood or mud-brick, nothing remains of them except a few ground-plans, and there are almost no written sources on early architecture or descriptions of buildings.
		It was used mainly for sculptural decoration, not structurally, except in the very grandest buildings of the Classical period such as the Parthenon.
