Is Odysseus' revenge on the suitors and maids excessive?
In my opinion it was not excessive at all. The maids turned against the queen in his absence, how could he ever trust them again? If he let them go they would surely spread the news of the suitors deaths, which is much too risky. As for the suitors...they were selfish, rude, and greedy. The God's had apparently marked them for death anyway so it was their time.
Why did Greeks use ships for trade?
The Greeks used ships because, in ancient times, moving things across land would have been risky (it was easier to attack wagons/carts than it was to attack a ship). Also, Greece borders the Mediterranean Sea so it would be more practical to cut through the sea when going to places such as Egypt or the Middle East.
'Why did Europeans sail to new places'?
Since Marco Polo got back from his trip to Asia with some of the many riches there, more and more people wanted to go to Asia as well and start a trade route. Soon people wanted to try other ways to get there, by going under Africa and west. In these new lands that the explorers found, they killed the and enslaved the natives and traded them to back their empire. In these new places they also settled and expanded their empire. So in total there are 3 main reasons: (1)Riches and resources that could only be found in the newly discovered areas wich brought wealth and happiness back to the explorer's empire. (2)The explorers would commonly be brutal and enslave the natives and send them back to their home land for money. Or they could just kill and extinct them, very few explorers would ally with natives and keep their alligance. (3)What almost every explorer did with the new land that he discovered was conquer it in the name of his empire by force or colonizing there by making new towns and through that expanding their empire.
Were there traps in pyramids?
The TrapsThe curseAbove some tombs, curses were written or spoken by priests, most designed to bring bad-luck upon any who cared to go against the wishes outlined in the curse- namely "get out of here or else". Some traditional curses include:""As for anybody who shall enter this tomb in his impurity: I shall wring his neck as a bird"'s."""As for any man who shall destroy these, it is the god Thoth who shall destroy him.""""As for him who shall destroy this inscription" He shall not reach his home. He shall not embrace his children. He shall not see success"."Heavy stone plugsTechnically, these weren't actually traps, in that they were designed not to injure anyone. But these heavy plugs would have made it very difficult to enter the tomb. There was little dynamite in those days, except what risky gun powder could be obtained from China, and the only way of getting through was to chip away at it.Falling RocksA convenient way of getting rid of an enemy was simply to drop a heavy rock on them. For this reason heavy rocks were placed above doorways, connected to wires or ropes that could bring it tumbling down on someone's head.Hidden holesThese were holes, leading to steep pits below the tomb. They would have probably have had covers over them, about the size and shape of manhole covers, and would have been delicately balanced over the hole so that at a light step they would have fallen in.PowdersThe Ancient Egyptians had relatively advanced medicine, and they had certainly not neglected the art of murder in their studies of alchemy. Powders prepared by magic - men were placed in tombs and systems were rigged so that at a certain time (for example, when intruders entered the tombs) the powders, possibly with fatal powers would have been released into the air and inhaled by the intruders.False well - coverIn many Egyptian tombs, wells were included in one of the halls. An old favourite was to put a false cover over the well, which worked on much the same principal as the "Hidden Holes".Head wiresIn some parts of the tomb, wires were placed at neck level. The idea was to decapitate anyone who walked into it. If placed at the right height, these wires could have been one of the most deadly and efficient traps used.SandA seemingly useless substance, it was employed to cover the actual sarcophagus of the deceased to prevent robbers tampering with the body.
Why did gladiators fight each other?
It was their job. Gladiators were often prisoners of war, so they were forced to fight with other gladiators for the entertainment of Roman society. They didn't have to kill each other though, if the crowd felt mercy on the poor man who was about to be killed, they would put their thumbs down.
What does Crossing the Rubicon mean?

What does cross the Rubicon?
Crossing the Rubicon is an expression meaning "no turning back." A similar expression is "burning your bridges." It means that once you do it, you have taken an irrevocable, probably risky step and understand that you must accept the consequences whatever they are.The reference to the Rubicon goes to Julius Caesar in 49 BCE. Roman law then prohibited any Roman Army legion from crossing the Rubicon, a river that marked the northern boundary between Gaul and Italy. The law was to protect Rome from internal military threat. Caesar had been ordered to return to Rome by his arch-rival Pompey, but Caesar knew that if he did so without an army at his back he would probably lose all the power he'd built up, so he took the irrevocable step of illegally crossing the Rubicon with a legion and ignited a civil war. Another expression of inevitability that comes from this same act is, "The die is cast," which is what Caesar reportedly said when he ordered his troops over the river. That refers to throwing dice, as in taking a gamble. "Die" is the singular of "dice."
