Greece has a number of historical monuments and buildings around it's region. The historical and ancient buildings attract many tourists. A green landscape and access to beaches are also a favorite for many tourists who visit Greece.

Although costly, the German amphibious & airborne invasion of Crete was, from the Allied point of view, a disaster. Many Anzac units were forced to surrender, having been moved from Libya where they had done sterling work. An example of not one of Winstons finest hours, moving troops from success in North Africa to Greece where they were not in any way successful......

The Peloponnese War which lasted from 431-404BC was an Ancient Greek military conflict, fought by Athens and its empire against the Peloponnese League, led by Sparta. Historians have traditionally divided the war into three phases. In the first, the Archidamian War, Sparta launched repeated invasions of Attica, while Athens took advantage of its naval supremacy to raid the coast of the Peloponnese attempting to suppress signs of unrest in its empire. This period of the war was concluded in 421 BC, with the signing of the Peace of Nicias. That treaty, however, was soon undermined by renewed fighting in the Peloponnese. In 415 BC, Athens dispatched a massive expeditionary force to attack Syracuse in Sicily; the attack failed disastrously, with the destruction of the entire force, in 413 BC. This ushered in the final phase of the war, generally referred to either as the Decelean War, or the Ionian War. In this phase, Sparta, now receiving support from Persia, supported rebellions in Athens' subject states in the Aegean Sea and Ionia, undermining Athens' empire, and, eventually, depriving the city of naval supremacy. The destruction of Athens' fleet at Aegospotami effectively ended the war, and Athens surrendered in the following year. The Peloponnese War reshaped the Ancient Greek world. On the level of international relations, Athens, the strongest city-state in Greece prior to the war's beginning, was reduced to a state of near-complete subjection, while Sparta was established as the leading power of Greece. The economic costs of the war were felt all across Greece; poverty became widespread in the Peloponnese, while Athens found itself completely devastated, and never regained its pre-war prosperity.[1][2] The war also wrought subtler changes to Greek society; the conflict between democratic Athens and oligarchic Sparta, each of which supported friendly political factions within other states, made civil war a common occurrence in the Greek world. Greek warfare, meanwhile, originally a limited and formalized form of conflict, transformed into an all-out struggle between city-states, complete with atrocities on a large scale. Shattering religious and cultural taboos, devastating vast swathes of countryside, and destroying whole cities -- the Peloponnese War marked the dramatic end to the fifth-century-B.C. golden age of Greece.[3]

Kratos was the God of War (The Greek word for Power).

Yes it was

Count Miklós is the son of Count László Róbert Cseszneky de Milvány et Csesznek and Lady Katalin Terézia Takács de Saár. He is the grandson of Count Mihály Mátyás Cseszneky de Milvány et Csesznek, a Hungarian industrialist and Miklós Antal Imre Takács de Saár, a Hungarian politician. His great-uncle was Count Gyula István Cseszneky de Milvány et Csesznek, aide-de-camp of King Tomislav II of Croatia.

Count László Róbert Cseszneky de Milvány et Csesznek likes to think of himself as the Crown Prince of Macedonia and as the heir of the Grand Voivodeship of Macedonia. He has no relation to the historical province of Macedonia or the rest of Greece.

The first president of Greece was a Avantie/Illyrian Albanian called George Kurronttes.

Patras is located at the northern tip of the Southwest island in Greece. Its exact coordinates on a map are 38 by 15 degrees North and 21 by 44 degrees East.

Alexander the Great defeated the Persians (age-long enemies of the Greeks) and took over the Persian Empire. At that time Egypt was under the Persians. When Alexander entered Egypt the Egyptians saw him as a liberator. After Alexander's death civil wars broke out and then his conquests were partitioned, forming the kingdom of Macedon in Greece, the Kingdom of Pergamon in western Turkey, the Seleucid Kingdom in Persia and the Middle East and the Ptolemaic kingdom in Egypt. The Ptolemies remained the Greek rulers of Egypt until the Roman takeover.

The Roman did not set out to conquer Egypt. Julius Caesar fought a civil War against the forces of the senate led by Pompey (in Caesar's Civil War). After a defeat in battle in Greece, Pompey fled to Egypt. Caesar pursued him in Egypt. He became the lover of Cleopatra VI, the queen of Egypt, took her side in a civil war between her and her brother and spent a lot of time in Egypt. At that point Egypt was an ally of Caesar, the ruler of Rome, through Cleopatra.

After Caesar's assassination, the Second Triumvirate (a three-man alliance between Octavian, Mark Antony and Marcus Aemilius Lepidus) fought against the forces of the assassins of Caesar in the Liberators' Civil War. After winning this war the three men divided the Roman provinces into spheres of influence. Octavian took the west and mark Antony took the east. Mark Antony, too, became Cleopatra's lover, decided to live in Egypt and bestowed titles on her. In the final power struggle, the Final Civil War of the Roman Republic, Octavian defeated mark Antony and his ally, Cleopatra. Both committed suicide. Octavian went on to become the first Roman emperor as Augustus and annexed Egypt. Egypt had already become heavily embroiled in Roman politics and therefore had already come under the Roman sphere of influence.

Parodos

There are several villages around Greece named Neohorion... I don't know of a specific settlement though.

Thucydides

They didn't have teams then. The athletes competed individually - not even 'representing' their town/city.

The Classical period includes the literature of ancient Greece and ancient Rome.

A person from Greece (i.e a "greek") is allowed to eat anything they want, in the same way that an American can, a European can and anybody else can (so long as it's available and legal). It is usually religious values that dictate what a person should not eat (not geographic location); Greece is multiculteral so it is difficult to generalise the society's religious values.

Island?

In ancient times, the Greek world was centered upon the Eastern Mediterranean Sea. Greek explorers and traders ventured into the Black Sea, the Central Mediterranean, the Western Mediterranean, even what would become known (much later) as the Atlantic Ocean, among other bodies of water. The largest sea that would not have been on Greek maps would have been the Pacific Ocean, which was not generally known by Europeans (or Greeks) until the 16th century.

Though the historical accuracy of the Trojan War has been disputed for centuries, the discovery of the toponym in Wilusa Hittite correspondence has made it plausible that the Trojan War was at least remotely based on a historical conflict of the 12th Century B.C.
