first age of the world when mankind lived in innocence happiness (Greek and Roman Mythology); flourishing period (usually of a people or nation)
Golden age
The term Golden age stems from
Greek mythology. It refers to the highest age in the Greek spectrum of Iron, Bronze, Silver and Golden ages, or to a time in the beginnings of Humanity which was perceived as an ideal state, or
utopia, when mankind was pure and immortal. A "Golden Age" is known as a period of
peace, harmony, stability and prosperity. In literary works, the Golden Age usually ends with a devastating event, which brings about the
Fall of Man (see
Ages of Man). An analogous idea can be found in the religious and philosophical traditions of the
Far East. For example, the Vedic or ancient Hindu culture saw history as cyclical composed of yugas with alternating Dark and Golden ages. The Kali yuga (Iron Age), Dwapara yuga (Bronze Age), Treta yuga (Silver age) and Satya yuga (Golden age) correspond to the four Greek ages. Similar beliefs can be found in the ancient
Middle East and throughout the ancient world.
