How did the Golden Age in Greece start?
Don't you mean the "Periclean Age"? Well, it started by the victory of Athens over Persia in the "Persian Wars" (546 to 479 B.C.). Now, with them out of the picture, we didn't have anything to really be worried about, and we achieved great success in government, art, philosophy, drama and poetry.
Why is this important?
Because now, Greeks can express themselves in more ways, and they can help their culture expand.
