How did the ancient Greeks think about war?
Probably that it was just a way to settle lands or agreements, and it was necessary to have a safe country. You had to have a strong army and show that your city state was all-powerful or the other city states would take over. Even if some people didn't necessarily like it they most likely found it to be necessary. Not thought of twice.
What was a pharaoh's lifestyle like?
The pharaoh would have been like any other ruler and had to deal with the various and sometimes tedious affairs of state and the economy.
He had advisers including a vizier or prime minister and would have regularly consulted with the leading generals of his military.
As the pharaoh was seen as a "living god" he or she in the case of a small group of woman including Hatshepsut who ruled as pharaohs in their entirety,would have also had to preform rituals and rites at the inner sanctum or "Holy of Holies" in the main temple complexes such as Karnak.
On special festival days such as the Valley Festival and the Opet festival the pharaoh along with his Great Wife and heir would appear in front of the people giving them a glimpse of their living god ruler, in much the same way as the Queen of England makes regular appearances on the balcony at Buckingham Palace.
There are many depictions of Ahkenaton and his family greeting the people from the "Window of Apperances"of the royal palace.
His leisure time would have likely been spent with his family in his private quaters of the palace and entertaining visiting ambassadors and dignitaries and hosting lavish feasts.
The ancient Egyptain noble classes enjoyed entertaining,taking boat rides on thier private man made lakes and canals as well as talking walks in thier exotic gardens filled with the lastest plants imported from the African subcontinent and Asia.
From wall releifs we know they enjoyed watching the antics of actobats and dwarfs preform and of course listening to music and storytellers was also a popular leisure activity.
What God did the athletes of the ancient Greece Olympics swear and oath to?
The original Olympic oath was first introduced in the 1920 Summer Olympics by Victor Boin. It goes like this: "We swear we will take part in the Olympic Games in a spirit of chivalry, for the honour of our country and for the glory of sport." In 1961 "oath" was replaced by "promise" and "the honour of our countries" became "the honour of our teams". "Committing ourselves to a sport without doping and without drugs" came in in the 2000 summer Olympics. (See I'm smart ;-)

Why did someone come up with school?
The ancient Greeks began teaching because they realized that people needed to be able to think, analyze, and create things. Without school a person doesn't have the skills they need. Washington stated that to keep a government working that an educated population was needed. When you can read and write you can read different opinions and ideas so you are able to decide for yourself what is important instead of having someone tell you what you need to know. In our world it is even more important that you are able to think and to learn skills, a profession, and able to create.

Why didn't the oligarchy last?
Each city-state had its own form of government. Narrow-based oligarchies - rule by an aristocracy - were generally replaced by broad-based oligarchies, which were usually comprised of either a broader council of several hundred or often several thousand in an assembly comprising landowning citizens who also made up the armoured infantry on which the security of the city-state depended.
Starting with Athens in the 5th Century BCE, an experiment in democracy (literally people-power) started to spread to other cities, but this was adversely affected by Athens which turned the anti-Persian League into an empire of its own, and bringing on the devastating Peloponnesian War. Cities which had embraced democracy reverted to broadly-based oligarchies.
After this, the radical democracies of Athens and its copyists, where all decisions were taken in the fortnightly citizen assemblies and the Council carried out its decisions, they generally were watered down to the citizens voting on motions put to them by the Council. And attendance at the Assemblies declined, so that the Council had to offer inducements to get them to attend the city's Assembly. The gloss and novelty of the early period had worn off quickly, and the mistakes made by the democracies had made for a drop off in popular enthusiasm which was substantially replaced by apathy, into which void the influentials moved, and resumed governing with the people asked to confirm laws and policy already decided on.
Even during the high period in Athens of fifty years, in emergencies the oligarchs or the landowner/warrior class took over to solve the problem rather than leave it to endless debate in the Assembly, using a simple takeover, or calling assembly meeting in the countryside when it was insecure due to enemy besiegers, so that only those who could afford a suit of armour would dare attend.
So broadly based oligarchies continued to exist, and democracies became pale shadows of the real thing which Athens had pioneered. After Macedonia had become dominant and Alexander died, the Greek world became dominated by his successors the Hellenistic kings in eastern Europe and Asia, and in the central Mediterranean tyrants and kings had established themselves well before this ruling the Greek cities there.
Centered first in the peninsula of Greece, then in Rome's burgeoning provinces, the new Mediterranean culture did not embrace all of the civilized lands of the ancient Middle East. Greece and Rome do not merely constitute a westward push of civilization from its earlier bases in the Middle East and along the Nile.

How did the development of the phalanx affect greek society and government?
In a phalanx, the hoplites (heavily armed foot soldiers) were made up of Aristocrats and non-aristocrats. This led to controversy in the government, because the non-aristocrats thought, why are we equal in battle but not in the political or social society? This brought about changes in the government by making new laws, and leveling out the "classes" of society. They became almost like equals.
