- This article is about the mythological Golden Age(s). For other "golden ages" see Golden Age (metaphor).
The term Golden age stems from Greek mythology and Roman poets. It refers to a time in the beginnings of humanity which was perceived as an ideal state, or utopia, when mankind was pure and immortal. 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. Similar beliefs, which are in most aspects comparable to that in the Golden Age existed also in the Middle East. Some Utopianist beliefs, both political and religious, hold that the Golden Age will return.
History
Both in Europe as well as in the Middle East, the idea of a Golden Age is part of a mythical interpretation of history, which divides history into several consequent ages, or (predominantly in the Middle East) into empires or historical epochs. The Golden Age (in India the Satya Yuga) is perceived to have been the first and best age, followed by the Silver Age and so on. The last and worst age is the present one in which the decay of civilisation reaches its nadir. This perception of history is therefore the direct opposite of the progress ideal. The theory of historical ages is the mythical expression of a philosophy of history marked by cultural pessimism, which perceives historical development primarily as the necessary and natural decay of culture and civilisation.
