Ancient Greece was a civilization centred around the Greek peninsula, that lasted from the 8th century BC to the end of the classical antiquity era (ca. 600 AD).
Questions about Ancient Greece should be about facts, events and historical figures of any of the following periods of Greek history:
- The archaic period (800 BC – 480 BC)
- Classical Greece (5th - 4th centuries BC)
- Hellenistic period (323 BC - 146 BC)
- Roman Greece (146BC - 330 AD)
The early Byzantine period can also be considered part of Ancient Greece history, at least up until the closure of the Neoplatonic Academy in 529 AD. The Greek Dark Ages (ca. 1200 BC–750 BC) are also oftenly quoted as the first historical period of Ancient Greece.
