347 BC| 480 BC–330 BC | Greece [sculpture] | The Greek classical style of sculpture develops more realism than the preceding Archaic period. Its leading exponents are Phidias (in the 5th century BC), and Praxiteles, Scopas, and Lysippus (in the 4th century BC). | | c. 400 BC–AD c. 250 | Central America [everyday life] | The Late Formative (or pre-Classic) period of Mayan culture takes place in Mexico. By 400 BC, large structures have been built at several sites in the tropical lowland jungle. In the highlands, people begin to put up large clay platforms, some the basis for temples and others for elite houses, flanking open plazas. | | 347 BC | Greece [births and deaths] | Plato, Greek philosopher, often considered one of the greatest in history, dies in Athens (c. 81). | | 347 BC | Greece [wars] | The Greek city-state of Athens sends embassies to Philip II of Macedon, and the Peace of Philocrates establishes a status-quo ante. Philip refuses to forgo the right to punish the Phocians for their ‘sacrilege’ of looting the temple at Delphi in the Sacred War. Greece and Macedon spend much of the rest of the decade preparing for war in an interval of uneasy peace. |
