Well, as you probably already know, professional athletes have to endure intense training so usually their whole week is booked with training and practices and getting in shape.

I happen to have very close relationships with pro athletes(NFL/NBA) and recovering is a big part of their week.

Nothing. Paper was unknown in ancient Greece.

Catholics remember and pray for those who "Sleep in Christ" (those who believe) and are waiting for God to bring them to heaven.

butt destroyed them...

Their citizen population, and hence its army size, was limited to the productivity of the Spartan warrior class. With a succession of wars over two centuries, the war loses exceeded the male birth rate, and so Sparta's army shrank. After the Spartan defeats at Tegyra 375 BCE and Leuctra 371 BCE, Sparta could no longer field a credible army, became entirely defensive and sank into obscurity.

The spears were mostly made out of ash tree for the spear itself, and the spear head and butt of the spear were made out of bronze.

They owned the biggest estates and exercised leadership, but in the constant inter-city wars, they had to rely on the small farmers to form the bulk of the army, and so had to try to keep them on-side.

Their early practice of selling debtor citizens into slavery to recoup unpaid debta also caused rvolts, so they had to solve that problem too.

Because ancient Greece and the ancient world in general presented much more opportunity than today, instead of being born into wealth or the right circles, one with enough intelligence could prove himself great, the world wasn't already claimed, there was much knowledge to be learned and much land to take. The world wasn't set out before you and as such there was a chance to be in the history books. Not like today.

Atleast thats my view of it.

Thermopylae is a narrow spit of land where an ancient Spartan army of one hundred (100) Hoplyte soldiers held off one thousand Persian soldiers for three days before being overrun and killed to the last man. You can go to Greece and find a monument to this epic battle and there was a special television program on the Discovery Channel.

The most important centre of commerce and Hellenistic culture and the largest city was Alexandria of Egypt. There were also other great centres. The other major ones were Antioch (Syria) Pergamon, Ephesus and Smyrna (Turkey) and Athens.

There is a very comprehensive Wikipedia article on the Elgin marbles (see related link)

Greek.

On the Athenian side, about 10,00 heavy infantry and 10,000 light infantry. On the Persian side, about 25,000 infantry. Their cavalry did not fight as it was loaded onto ships to capture Athens in the absence of the Athenian army.

They played a lot of sports. such as wrestling, discus, foot races. These events were in the Olympics. Most track sports like today. the kids played with each other in courtyards in there back yards. the men had parties called symposia, women were not invited to these events. They also went to theaters or acted plays, or some stayed at home, either storytelling or sewing, knitting or drawing. Some people play music, such as lyres, pipes and wooden flutes.

Greece was an independent city-state for several ages, until its eventual military decline and defeat led to Roman control in 168 B.C. A while after came the time of Christ, and due to the preachings of Paul the Apostle around 60 A.D., much of the eastern Roman Empire became deeply influenced by Christianity from there on out. Soon after this religious paradigm shift, the Byzantine era began, and for a long period of time Greece was prosperous, and even after centuries of continued attacks from raiders and attempted conquest by neighboring empires, Greece was relatively stable, until the Fourth Crusade and the fall of Constantinople. In the 15th century, most of Greece fell to the rule of the Ottoman Empire, who introduced Islam to the region. However, the Eastern Orthodox faith held strong, and as new ideals spread by the French Revolution took hold, Greece took its stand and declared its own independence as a State in 1821. It is at this point the age of Modern Greece begins, and after continued struggle to maintain and empower their beloved homeland, the Greeks restored much of their native populace and by 1947, its boundaries grew into what they are today. As of now, Greece still remains an independent nation, and it was one of the founding members of the United Nations.

he Greek world was comprised of hundreds of independent city-states, each with its own citizenship. People were citizens of a city, not some Greek country which did not exist.

To be a citizen of a Greek city, a person had to be descended from a citizen, be an adult male, and be accepted into one of the several tribes which made up the inhabitants of the city.

The Greeks were polytheistic. They believe in many gods.

Initially they arrived as nomads from the east, and first settled in the peninsula today known as Greece.

They were such prolific breeders that the poor countryside could not support their expanding population so they sent out the surplus populations to settle elsewhere - first the Islands of the Aegean and Asia Minor. This was progressively extended further - to the Black Sea littoral and west to Sicily, Italy, Sardinia, Corsica, southern France, Spain and North Africa.

Some of these daughter-cities, established by the cities of Greece, themselves became overpopulated and sent out colonies of their own. The periphery of the Mediterranean and Black seas was dotted with a couple of thousand independent Greek city-states.

they were important transportation routes for Greek people.
