There are 3 periods of Ancient Greek art. These are the Archaic, the Classical and the Hellenistic periods.
The Archaic period is usually dated from ca. 1000 BCE.
The Persian Wars of 480 BCE to 448 BCE are usually taken as the dividing line between the Archaic and the Classical periods,
The death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC begins the Hellenistic period.
