Ancient Greece

Many toys, similar to current day toys, have been found in archeological sites. Dolls, rattles, tops, swings, and many other items have been unearthed. As is common today, those from richer families had a greater assortment of toys, while those from poorer families were expected to work for the family at a much younger age. Evidence also shows that Greeks kept pets such as dogs, pigs, tortoises, and caged birds.

Depends what you mean by holiday!

Rich Greeks did travel during the classical period. For instance the Greek historian Herodotus apparently traveled widely across the ancient world including all over Greece, Italy, Egypt, Persia and even to modern day Russia. However the purpose of this travel was probably more to do with making educational and political contacts than lying on the beach.Only the very best educated and richest Greeks would have traveled in this way.

Poorer citizens would have also have traveled for reasons ranging from military campaigns, trade and setting up of new colonies but again none of these could be classed as holidays. However citizens did travel for religious ceremonies, drama competitions and athletic games, probably the closest the ancient Greeks got to having a holiday.

Several hundred years later, about 150 years after Christ, a Greek writer called Pausanias wrote a sort of travel guide to Greece, almost like a modern Blue Guide.

By this time, at the peak of the Roman Empire, there were many well heeled tourists among the Romans who had made fortunes from the Empire. Many traveled to Greece and Egypt on sight seeing trips or had very lavish holiday homes constructed in places like the island of Capri or in countryside outside Rome or in southern Italy.

For the most part, he was a the father of medicine and so he wasn't really influenced by any other person. His theory of the humorism (the idea that there are four main liquids of the body) was influenced by the Pythagorean theory which stated that Nature was made of four elements-water, earth, wind and fire. The four humors correspond to this like so...

Blood-Air

Black Bile-Earth

Yellow Bile-Fire

Phlegm-Water

So if you need a specific person, you could explain that he was influenced by Pythagoras.

Saws, chain saws,cutting tools etc.

The ancient Greek god of travel is Hermes, the god of traders, travel, and thieves, and such.

Athens was under control of self-serving aristocrats who stood heavily on the majority who were small-farmers. While Solon had been appointed in 594 BCE to resolve a looming revolution because of this, he compromised heavily, and the problem was not solved.

Peisistratos was appointed tyrant by popular acclaim to resolve the next looming crisis. He and his successor sons did a good job in equalising peoples' living conditions. The weakness was that the tyrants had to hire a large bodyguard to protect them from assassination by the aristocrats (Julius Caesar style) an had to levy taxes to pay for the guards.

The Greeks hated taxes, and by 510 BCE, after 51 years under the tyrants, a new generation had forgotten the evils of the oligarchic rule by the aristocrats, and just wanted to get rid of the tyrants taking their money.

They expelled the third tyrant Hippias who was now in power, and the oligarchs made a bid to return to power. Fortunately Cleisthenes intervened and set up a form of limited democracy.

The first section is the wheel hub. The Romans chariots at first used carved/turned wooden hubs, and later moved on to cast metals such as bronze and copper. Early chariots had very little metal on them, but later ones had a LOT of metal depending on the owner's position in society or the use to which the chariot was intended to be put.

An anthropologist or archaeologist

Hypatia of Alexandria got promoted to the Salaried Director of the Neoplatonist School of Philosophy.

Yes, the battering ram was one of their main siege engines. It consisted of a huge beam wrapped with rope to keep it from splitting apart and it was tipped with an iron head. They were housed in wheeled sheds or movable towers for protection from the defenders.

If you mean a laurel, they were made of the leaves/branches of the Bay Laurel

Most of the cities of Ancient Greece, like Sparta, Thebes, Mycenae, Megara, Corinth, Delphi, Athens, Argos, Epidaurus, and Pylos are still within the borders of modern Greece. However, of these, only ATHENS is still inhabited and is not just an archaeological ruin.

Two prominent playwrights of ancient Greece are Aeschylus and Sophocles. Aeschylus is often referred to as the father of tragedy and is known for works like "Agamemnon," which explore themes of fate and justice. Sophocles, another influential figure, is celebrated for his plays such as "Oedipus Rex" and "Antigone," which delve into complex moral dilemmas and human emotion. Together, they significantly shaped the development of Greek drama and theatrical traditions.

Most of the Persian defeats in the 50 years of warfare between the Greek city-states and Persia were either sea or sea-land battles, not land battles involving just the army.

The single land battle of Plataia in 469 BCE was won by the Greek forces sticking defeating the inferior unsupported Persian infantry.

no they didnt because in that tym they didnt evn no how to make them. hope that hlrps.

None. It was thought that the Greeks adopted the alphabet and the color named 'tyrian purple'. The reverse is actually the case as the Phoenicians did not have an alphabet they had a cuneiform script lacking any vowels. The Greek proper alphabet of linear A and linear B both predate phoenician cuneiform script.

The archaeological findings in Crete at Komos has unearthed murex shells (used to make 'Tyrian purple', which show that the Minoans cultivated the sea-snail in factory farms for the production of the purple dye at least 300 years before it appeared in Tyre.

The Phoenicians did however become strong traders using the ships and celestial navigation adopted from the Greeks.

The ancients equated earthquakes with Poseidon. They were significant events usually indicating displeasure, though sometimes, they were meant to aid people as well (sometimes smaller quakes actually had a beneficial effect).

The Greek Gods and goddesses

The Greeks ruled all of what is now Turkey (which was taken away by the help of Mongols), many parts of Northern Africa (such as Egypt) , and many parts of Europe.

One way is that the destruction of relics from that historical epoch sends shock waves through the world's educated people. Another is that the same problems are still being fought over, the people having changed names only.

Thespis is considered the first actor and the first playwright, but it is not until after the great period of tragedy that actors began receiving prizes as well as the playwrights, and therefore, there names were recorded.

There wasn't just one oracle there was many but the most famouse was Delphi.

It is uncertain just who Draco really was and his time of influence over whom. The Athenians were not electing leaders at that stage.

I think the person who wrote the above has some mistakes. You just rewrote the questions.

I believe you mean the chorus :) they act as one, speaking wholly in unison, making a social commentary on the situation on stage!
