Archaic Greece

Archaic Greece (800-479 BCE) is the period in Greek history after the Bronze Age collapse and before the Greco–Persian wars. Their art has a more natural and realistic style. Greek art was less geometric and more naturalistic. Paintings on vases had representations of human figures, most of the time with mythical tales.

The Ancient Olympic Games started in the Archaic Period.
