Golden age (metaphor)
:''For the mythological meaning see Golden Age, for other uses see Golden Age (disambiguation)''
A golden age is a period in a field of endeavor when great tasks were accomplished. The term originated from early Greek and Roman poets, who used to refer to a time when mankind lived in a better time and was pure (see Golden Age).
The origin of the term is with the ancient Greek philosopher Hesiod, who introduced it in his Works and Days as the period where the "Golden Race" of man lived. This was part of fivefold division of Ages of Man, starting with the Golden age, then the Silver Age, the Bronze Age, the Age of Heroes (including the Trojan War) and finally the current Iron Age. The concept was further refined by Ovid in his Metamorphoses into the four "metal ages" (golden, silver, bronze, iron).〔Ovid, ''Metamorphoses''. Trans. A.D. Melville. Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1986. Print. Pages ix–xi〕
