Ancient Greece

The Ancient Greeks used a slab of wood covered in wax and wrote on it with a pointed wooden or metal sick which was called a stylus.

Throughout Alexander's rise to power and reign, the Greek Empire nearly quadrupled in size, the Greek Empire under his rule still remains the largest empire in living history.

He ended the power of the city-states and established a unified nation.

What was an important concept in Greek art and architecture

Ancient Greek settlements were usually called city-states. A city-state was usually composed of villages that had grouped together for trade and protection.

The main criticism of ancient Athenian democracy is the limitations Athenian law placed upon who could be considered a citizen. The only Athenians who were considered full citizens were Athens-born men of at least 18 years of age. And to be considered Athens-born, both of one's parents had to have been citizens. But while women could be considered citizens, they had no voice in the Assembly, and no real rights within the democracy. Furthermore, slaves had no voice whatsoever in the Athenian democracy.

Minoan, Achaean, Egyptian, Persian.

Overpopulation. Most of Greece was poor country, and farmers had small holdings struggling to eke out a living in dry farming. They could not continually divide these plots to several sons in each succeeding generation, and while wars reduced the number of sons, this was insufficient. As a result, the surplus population was progressively sent off to found colonies arounf the Mediterranean Sea, getting as far west as Masilia (Marseilles) all around the coast of Sicily, southern Italy (Naples = nea polis = new city), north Africa to Cyrenaica, Egypt, Adriatic islands, Aegean islands and coast, Turkish coast and the Black Sea coast.

The standard warship of the Greek cities of the 5th Century BCE was the Trireme, which had three banks of overlapping oars on both side, each manned by a single rower. There were 180 rowers, some seamen and some marines - all up about 200. Modern replicas up to full size have been produced.

In subsequent centuries there is reference to fours (Quadrireme), fives (Quinquereme) and more, but this probably meant the number of rowers to each oar rather than banks of oars.

they would wear masks because girls were not allowed to act in plays and so men had to play women's parts and to make it more realistic they would wear girl masks so they looked like the part. also sometimes they didn't have enough actors so some actors had lots of different parts to play, therefore they hid their face by wearing a mask so the audience would think it was a different actor (as for their voice, they would change the pitch or accent)

Greek and Roman comedies usually showed men as unstable and seeking a new life while women were portrayed as stable and secure and powerful.

They left a cultural legacy of architecture, theatre, and language used today. New modern words are often made up from Greek ones - eg their letter psi plus word logos (a discourse) gives rise to psycology; alphabet comes from the Greek letters a and b = alpha and beta; etc.

During the Trojan war , in the book Iliad by Homer . The Greek gods and goddess took sides , some joined the Trojan side and and some sided the Greek. But as Zeus the head of the gods had strictly told them gods and goddess not to help in the war. But the goddess Athene requested the god Zeus , to let them guide them only. So as it was an arrow guided by Apollo hit Achilles in the anckle.

Greece was mountainous, and thus less than 20% of its land could be farmed for grains, although its climate was perfect for growing grapes (for wine), and olives (for olive oil).

In the Fertile Crescent and Egypt, it was hot and dry, but the land was flat. Major rivers in the Fertile Crescent provided for peoples' irrigation needs, and the Nile River also provided water and fertile soil because of its annual floods. These areas could easily grow surplus grain.

An oligarchic regime, also known more succinctly as an oligarchy, is any type of governing body that is answerable only to itself, and which is self perpetuating because it elects its own new members, as old members retire or die. The most familiar example is the politburo, in a country that is ruled by a communist dictatorship. Only the members of the politburo elect new members to the politburo; nobody else has any say in the matter. This is not like a hereditary monarchy, because it is not based on lineage. You do not have to be the son of a member of the politburo to be elected to the politburo. But then again, sometimes people do elect their relatives to positions of power. In North Korea, which at the present time is ruled by the 3rd generation of the Kim dynasty, the original oligarchy has turned into a monarchy in all but name. But communist China, which is not ruled by a descendant of Chairman Mao, is governed by a true oligarchy.

with Greek language of course... and pretty much the same way as other people around the world i guess, when the verbal doesnt work, they use sign / body language, lol...........

Hippocrates was the first physician to treat diseases as the result of living habits rather than a punishment by the gods. The Hippocratic school believed that all illnesses were the result of an imbalance in the body of the four humours, fluids that when in health were naturally equal in amount. The four humours are, blood, black bile, yellow bile and phlegm. Hippocrates recommended that a physician was to always be tidy, honest, calm, understanding and serious.

Homer was the only poet we might say was famous from the Greek Dark Ages.

The Greek Dark Ages began with the collapse of Mycenaean culture, and lasted about 400 years. The dates would be about 1200 to 800 BC.

Homer is sometimes dated to as early as 950 BC, and sometimes as late as about 750. That being the case, he is arguably from the Greek Dark Ages.

Ancient Greece had much less technology, and their democracy (direct democracy) is very different from the current Greek democracy. Also, Ancient Greece believed in Greek gods and that they caused natural disasters, while today Greece has scientific explanations for natural events. There are many other differences. You should search this on Google.

It was comprised of over 2,000 independent city-states spread around the Mediterranean and Black Sea littorals.

Scribes are important because they could write for people who can't (because of injuries) and the people who don't know how.

The Greek Heroic Age followed the Trojan war and lasted about six generations. This age is described by Hesiod in his 'Age of Man.' The heroes are often shown as having supernatural strength from the gods, nobility and divine favor.
