     According to random articles that I couldn't corroborate with reliable sources the stories of Daedalus, The Ramayana, and The Mahabharata were supposed to take place in the 5th century BCE. I dug around for information so I could orient myself with what was happening at the time.  

Highlights: The Parthenon was built.  There was a lot of war between Greece and Sparta.  Romans started flexing their muscles and expanding trade within the known world.  The Celts were forced out of Italy and moved to Great Britain.    Buddhism and Jainism developed and spread across Indo-China.
