What term was not used during the Golden Ages of ancient Greece?
There are a vast number of terms that were not used in the Golden Age of Ancient Greece, mostly because they refer to terms or concepts that did not exist at that time period. One such example is the word "Greek" since the various Greek city states did not see themselves as one ethnic group, but rather as a number of distinct polities that seemed to have some cultural similarities only when compared to vastly different civilizations like Persia, Minoa, and Egypt. They used terms like Achaean and Danaan to refer to these cultural units of "Greekness", but the idea of unifying "Greekness" did not exist. However, the phrasing of your question indicates that there is likely a set of choices that you are being provided. As we at WikiAnswers do not have your textbook or worksheet in front of us, we do not know what those terms are. Please resubmit the question with the terms included in it.
Where can you find information about the Fir Bolg such as its origins and culture?
A google.com search using the query, What are the origins of the Fir Bolg?, turned up 815 links. (including the one mentioned below.) thefreedictionary.com is where I found the following as well as other related info. In Celtic mythology, the Firbolgs ("men of the bags") were early gods of Ireland that attacked the Fomorians. They fought to a standstill and both sides lived in Ireland until the Firbolgs were exterminated by the Tuatha de Danaan ("people/children of Danu"). Also spelled Fir Bholg Hi,this bulgarian wants to contribute a little info concerning the ancient Fir Bolgs. Yes, there are proto bulgars from Eastern Europe. Actually to be precise from ancient Sumer since they were cimmerians. After the fall of ancient Sumer a number of them along with slavs,celts and others will go to Babylon. With the fall of the latter they moved on to Egypt where around or after the invasion of the Sea Peoples,Egypt's pharaoh expelled them from his kingdom. The proto-bulgars went to the Balkans and some of them sailed to Ireland afterwards. Those bulgars that went to Eire or part of the bulgar nation was known as Fir Bolgs for the leather bags and belts all bulgars were known to wear. Danubian Bulgaria founded in 681 A.D had kings from the first bulgarian dynasy with the same names as Fir Bolg kings and their offspring. Danubian Bulgaria had kings with names like...Umor,Symeon - 8th and 10th century A.D. Our present prime minister and also the former child king has the name Simeon. Also female Fir Bolg names like Etar are archaic bulgar names.The Fir Bolg name Beoan is widely used archaic and present day bulgarian name Baian or Boyan.Batbeoan is also bulgar name. The Fir Bolg name Adar is purely old bulgar name. When the Tuatha De Danann/ancient goths from nowdays Denmark/ conquered the Fir Bolgs they put and end to finno-ugrian domination of Ireland. Yes the bulgars of present day Bulgaria were melted in the slavic and gotho-thracian pot but many old bulgar words,their ancient calendar,numbers and else remains part of modern bulgarian language and customs.

What is the name of the Irish story about a ring given to a lord by his lover and where can you find it?
There are many Irish tales and legends which refer to torc rings which are worn around the neck many refering to the Tuatha de Danaan. But these are the only other tale I can find which in anyway relate to royalty. There is also the Authurian legends which refer to a ring which is given to Merlin to imprison him in love. Legend tells us that a Scottish queen was given a ring by her husband. But she gave it to a handsome soldier and the king found out. He came across the soldier asleep by a river bank, took the ring, threw it in the water and challenged his wife to produce the ring. St Mungo, who was to become the patron saint of Glasgow, miraculously returned the ring by catching the right salmon and finding it in its stomach. The arms of the City of Glasgow now include a salmon with a ring in its mouth

What is a clurichuan and can they also be shoemakers?
Clurichauns are inherently Irish no matter where they're from, and always wear green. They have a knack of getting along with people, but also at getting away when there's trouble. They are very emotional and are frequently moved to tears or fisticuffs. Clurichauns don't really have pots of gold. Clurichauns and leprechauns are the same thing by 2 different names. Clurichauns like to sing, though not always well, and drink .... a lot! They are tird to the spirit of the land and people of Ireland: it defines their identity as a Kith and they are bound by the Dreaming go protect it. They spread out from Ireland even early and early Clurichauns in England were called "buttery spirits" (among other Kithain who were called the same.) They frequently live in old-fashioned pubs and inns, where they aid good proprietors and wreak mischief for bad ones. CLURICHAUNS ARE TRADITIONALLY SHOEMAKERS FOR THE FAE, BUT NEVER CARRY MORE THAN ONE SHOE AT A TIME SO THEY AREN'T SLOWED DOWN IN ESCAPES. The often carry snuff boxes not only for pipe smoking, but to aid in escapes by making their would-be captors blink and sneeze. They are considered Gallain by many Kithain, but the reasons are unclear. Clurichauns secretly refer to themselves as the Daoine Sidhe, a name they received from their mortal kin during the Sundering, and know their Kith to have once been very similar in the Sidhe before the Sundering. Clurichaun history links them to a hero named Mil, supposedly from Spain, who led them in conquest of Ireland against the Tuatha De Danaan in the early Sundering and they would secretly call themselves House Mil, or the sons of Mil. Then the Sons of Mil conquered Ireland, they drove the defeated Tuatha De Danaan underground into the raths and burghs and asserted their own rule above, only later retreating to the raths and burghs themselves during the later Sundering once the Sidhe had fled to Arcadia. The tradition Clurichaun courts of Hoouse Mil with their own kings lasted until the end of the Irish royal line in the 12th century, when the English conquered Ireland. The magic that binds the Clurichauns to Ireland consists of a prophecy given to the sons of Mil linked with the grace of the Tuatha goddess Eriu. When the Shattering came, Clurichauns as a whole stuck it out in Ireland, not retreating to Arcadia. They once ruled over the Piskies and their Pictish kin in Scotland, but it ended badly enough that Clurichauns resent Piskies to this day.

Where did the Picts live before they lived in Scotland?
They Came across the sea in their long canoes over 2000 years ago. They are the Mikmaq If you take the time and look closely you will see.....:) These are my people! The Micmacs probably came across the Atlantic around 2000 BC. They had previously received an Egyptian migration in Maine around 2500 BC; the Egyptians gave them hieroglyphics, which they still have! The Micmacs probably set out to find their ancient home Egypt, and found Scotland instead. They mixed with the many peoples they found there, including ancient Capoids ("brownies"), Basque-like Ambrones from the Netherlands, Etruscan-like Attecotti from Thrace, Liguro-Lappic Fomori from Norway (Iuchurbe), who fought the Tuatha De Danaan in Ireland, and the remnants of the ancient Goidelic Celts of Britain (the Gogmagogi) who were driven north by the invading Cimbric Celts (Brythonics) when the latter invaded Britain from Bohemia. It's mind-boggling how many people the Picts really were! Now they are the Scots. When Columbus visited Ireland shortly before his voyages to America, he saw two Micmacs, a man and a woman, who had washed up on the Irish coast in a canoe; they were close to death. Columbus asked the man with sign language where he had come from; the man pointed to the West and died. Some say that this experience is what prompted Columbus to undertake his historic voyages.
Is Cyprus closer to Greece or to Turkey?
There is a supposition that this question makes explicitly, that the Greeks own Cyprus, and one made implicitly, that the people of any given territory should be more similar to its closest neighbors. Neither assumption is correct. Greek Cypriots are so called because they embraced the Greek Orthodox Faith and had extensive oceanic commerce with the Greeks during the Ancient Period. It is notable, though, the Cypriot culture is not traditionally considered Danaan (central Ancient Greece) or Achaen (southern Ancient Greece), but is usually seen as being much more similar to Levantine and Mesopotamian culture. As a result, Greek Cypriot, as a term is an abbreviation of Greek Orthodox Cypriot. These people formed the majority of the island's inhabitants because of the way that Orthodox Christianity spread and the way Islam did not on the island. Greek Cypriots maintain political control of the Republic of Cyprus (which is an ally of but not controlled by Greece) because they form the majority of the population (between 75-80% of ethnic Cypriots are Greek Cypriots). As to the second assumption that countries next to each other should be culturally similar, see Burma and Thailand, Pakistan and Iran, Iran and Iraq, Sudan and South Sudan, etc. Close proximity between countries can indicate similarities, but does not require them.
