list the three phases of the classical period in greek art, including dates and important events.

Explanation:

The first phase is the Early Classical (c. 480 - 450 BCE), marked by the aftermath of the Persian Wars and the beginning of more naturalistic sculpture, like the "Kritios Boy." The High Classical (c. 450 - 400 BCE) saw the construction of the Parthenon and the creation of masterpieces like Phidias’ sculptures, with idealized forms. The Late Classical (c. 400 - 323 BCE) followed the Peloponnesian War, featuring more emotional and relaxed works, such as Praxiteles’ "Hermes and the Infant Dionysus."
