Answer I can't be too sure on how legal it is as you are Canadian and you married out of the country. I'd contact Immigration Canada to find out how legal your marrige is. * You can be married outside of Canada and be legally recognized as married in Canada. You simply need to show the marriage certificate. The marriage certificate is less important than it used to be for legal reasons, however. What is more important is the duration that a couple cohabitates (lives together).

Greece is always 2 hours ahead of England.

yes Greece has a Christmas but in a realy different way

they built it because it was in honor for Athena the greek godess.

The Golden Age of Greece was after the Greek's wars with Persia which they won, by luck and the help of Athens' powerful navy. The Greek's realized that they needed to become one nation instead of separate city states who almost only shared a language.

Athens as the head, decided to setup the Delian League which all the city states in the alliance paid money to them in which they would create an army and navy in case the Persians tryed to attack them again. A good idea, right? It would have been if Athens hadn't become greedy. They did create a moderate army and navy, but most of the money went to their city. They created temples, theaters, buildings, everything. It was the height of Athens the classical era, or the Golden Age.

Sparta did catch on though and decided that Athens needed to be stopped. They fought the Peloponnesian War for 27 years in which Sparta finally won, BUT destroyed Greece in the process and made them vulnerable to the Macedonian invaders.

Phillip II conquered Greece but liked their culture and let them keep it. It was his son Alexander the great though that spread it across the known world.

Whoa, there, you're trying to catch me on this one, huh? Truth is Greece has no set national flower or bird......While the most famous varieties of flora in the Greek nation are the 'violet', 'laurel', and the 'Bear's breech', none have been adopted as the national flower.....Hope this helps...TatuBaron

Me again, I realized that I had no idea of what a Bears breech was, so I did a little research.. The Bear's Breech is a member of the acanthus family, native to the Mediterranean area. These spiny thorny plants produce colorful flowers that inspired Greek architects of ancient days to make the Corinthian columns that Greek and Roman buildings were so well known for, and are still used today.....TatuBaron

Thermopylae- the slow down of the Persian army to allow Athens time to prepare to fight.

The Greeks aren't farmers because the land is very rocky and not fertile. They can grow some things, like olives, but not many things are able to sprout in the rocky ground. Becoming a sailor is smarter because, in Greece, you are never more than 85 miles from the sea.

The capital of Greece is Athens, which is also the largest city.

Answer The lyrics to Greece's national anthem were written by Dionysios Solomos. The anthem is made up of the first two stanzas of his 158-verse poem, "Hymn to Freedom." A few years later, Nokolaos Mantzaros set the poem to music.

No due to Bureucracy reasons in part from the Greec KAS ( Central Archeological Comitee) and other involving parts from the Greec public, as i had red in a magazine that time. . It was filmend in Malta instead.

Greece has become a very difficult place to film or for any investment in general before the Crisis due to a mass bureocratic system that worhted not the cost to surpass.

However things seem to change now asthe KAS has becomend much more flexible seeing the effects of last decades stance. It allowed the filming of a new Holywood film in Crete KNOSOS with 100% of votes from his members

Distance between city-states, clothing, trade, and democracy were amongst some of things that were influenced by the geography of Ancient Greece. The Greek lived in a Mediterranean climate. Winters were mild and wet, and they were able to grow grapes and olives. Summers were warm and dry. Grapes and olives were one of the few plants that could survive droughts. Mountains cover Seventy-five percent of Greece. The land was difficult to cultivate and the sea surrounded Greece. This made trade extremely easy because the Greeks could get what they could not grow. They were also able to bring back innovative ideas from other cultures that they traded with. Because mountains cut off the Greek, this led to the formation of city-states. There was limited interaction and unity of the city-states, which ultimately created river lies amongst them. Such physical barriers prevented a unified Greece. The sea became a vital part of the Greek society. There were hundreds of bays, skilled sailors, and trade of olive oil, wine, and marble for grains, metals, and ideas, technology, and philosophies was common trade items. The Greeks were able adopt the Phoenician alphabet, which later become the basis for all western alphabets. It also promoted democracy. Although the sea encouraged trade, the mountainous terrain enabled absolute rulers to gain power, ultimately leading to the demise of the Ancient Greek democracy and thus creating war mongers.
