Why did Sparta want to weaken Athens power in ancient Geece?

Athens had headed the Delian League which protected the eastern Greek cities from Persian dominance. When Persia withdrew, Athens turned the league into an empire, and used this power to interfere in the affairs of other Greek cities. This led the cities of the Peloponnesian League to appeal to Sparta to lead action to limit Athens' power. Athens refused compromise and a destructive 27 year war ensued, which the Athenians lost, and were stripped of their empire, reducing them to a second rate power which could no longer try to dominate Greece and live high on the proceeds.


How many roles could characters have in a greek play?

There is no specific limit. Actors wore masks, so one actor could easily play several roles just by donning several masks. The maximum number of roles in a given play was limited by the fact that he couldn't be on the stage playing two characters at the same time. So, the maximum was: 'the number of characters that did not have to appear simultaneously on the stage'.

Why didn't the elders decide to allow birthmothers to have four baby instead of three in the giver?

The decision to limit birthmothers to three babies instead of four was likely made by the Elders as a way to control population growth within the community. By restricting births to three per birthmother, they could manage and maintain a stable population size without putting excessive strain on resources. Additionally, keeping the birth limit at three may have been a way to maintain order and conformity within the society's strict rules and regulations.
