How did ancient greek civilization end?
A large war happened: the Peloponessian Wars (431 to 404 BC). Athens and Sparta went to war then their allies joined in. After many long bloody years, Sparta finally won and there were years of peace. But Sparta was severely weakened. Then Athens revolted. There was no unity among the city-states and Sparta had lost much of its empire. In 338 BC, the Macedonians under Philip II and his son Alexander conquered Greece, and the subsequent empires were eventually subsumed by Rome between 149 and 146 BC.
How did it work in Ancient Greeks?
It was based on a city-state - a tract of farming land with a central city. The city provided civilised amenities - temples, baths, theatres, shopping malls and government buildings. The city was also usually walled for defence against invasion by other cities or nomads. Work was done by the farmers and tradesmen, helped by their families and their slaves.
Governance was generally by the adult male citizens who were owners of property, though this was extended to all male citizens in the cities which experimented with full democracy.
The army was provided by property owners who had a suit of armour, however the non-propertied were also called up as light infantry and marines. The navy was manned by both city-based sailors and other rowers hired in from other cities.
What happened to Alexander's empire after he died and why?

Did the Ancient Greeks create music?
No, if you are asking if music was invented by the Ancient Greeks, music had been around before the Ancient Greeks. Music is found in every known culture, past and present, varying wildly between times and places. Scientists now believe that modern humans emerged from Africa 160,000 years ago. Around 50,000 years ago these humans began to disperse from Africa reaching all the habitable continents. Since all people of the world, including the most isolated tribal groups, have a form of music, scientists conclude that music must have been present in the ancestral population prior to the dispersal of humans around the world. Consequently music must have been in existence for at least 50,000 years and the first music must have been invented in Africa and then evolved to become a fundamental constituent of human life.
Yes, if you are asking if they used music, Plato and others mention music in their writings.

What led to ancient Greece democracy?
Democracy basically started off in Athens during the Classical Period (c.478-336 BC) in the city state (Polis). Athenian democracy can be traced back to the reforms of Solon (584BC) who was a political leader and poet. When the people got sick of a monarchy, the aristocrats took over. The aristocrats were the rich group of people who provided money for such things as, weapons, supplies, or battlefields. They were close with the king and helped him make decisions. Eventually they thought they were better, and more powerful then the King. They took over and eventually made an Oligarchy, then a tyranny, and then, through time, created a democracy where citizens helped decided they wanted to govern themselves. It was different back then though, only free men could become citizens. Women, children, and slaves did all the work at home. Although, they influenced how we vote for our leaders, and how they have a four year term.
