Classical is typically a form of art or regarded as representing an exemplary standard, traditional and long-established style or culture. On the other hand, Classical is relating to ancient Greek or Latin culture.

The phrase “classical Greece” denotes to the history between the Persian Battles at the beginning of the fifth century and the death of Alexander the Great. The classical period was a traditional era of combat and conflict—starting between the Persian and the Greeks, then between the Spartans and Athenians—but it was also a period of revolutionary political and cultural achievement. Part of the classical period originated in Greece was the demokratia, a Greek word means rule by the people; the first democracy ruling over Greek people. And this democracy would let all the officials sworn to act stated in the laws what is best for the people.
