British Heroic Age, 4th to 7th centuries AD, the period in the years after the departure of Roman military forces from Britain and before
Anglo-Saxon (and ultimately
Norman) dominance over much of the island of Britain; defined by a recentering of
Celtic culture, including the
bardic system of poetry in homage to local warlords, and the appearance of early
Welsh language texts. This is the era in which the
King Arthur myth emerges, along with other figures who would later partake in this
mythological system (including the bard
Taliesin).
Greek Heroic Age, in Greek mythology, the period at which semi-divine and human heroes are supposed to have lived, between the coming of the Greeks to
Thessaly and the Greek return from
Troy. Considered one of the
Five Ages of Man.
Germanic Heroic Age, 4th and 5th centuries AD, period of early historic or quasi-historic events reflected in Germanic heroic poetry.
Heroic Age of Medicine, c. 1780 – 1850, when aggressive medical techniques were used. See
Heroic medicine.
