Dark Age
"The last era is the Iron Age. During the Dark Age, every civilization loses its sacredness, every civilization knows and exalts only the human. Against such forms of decline rises the idea of a possible cycle of restoration, which Hesiod calls the "heroic cycle". Here the word heroic should be understood in a special, technical sense, which differs from its usual meaning. According to Hesiod, the "generation of heroes" was created by Zeus, that is, by the Olympic principle, to realize the possibility of restoring the original state, in order to give life to a new golden age."
