Geometric period

The Geometric period was a phase of Greek art and history that flourished from 1200 to 800 BC during the Greek Dark Ages. The Geometric period, centered in Athens, saw the Greeks use geometric motifs in vase painting. From the mid-8th century BC, the closer contact between Greece and the East led to the rise of the Orientalizing period.
