By water they could use sail and oar traction, and carry much cargo. By land, it meant walking, and moving loads in 1 ton animal drawn wagons, and having to carry food for themselves and the animals.

they started colonies because there wasn't enough farmland to feed their people

The near east changed over time. At periods there were independent city-states as in the Greek world. Then various empires (Assyrian, Babylonian, Persian) absorbed them, just as the Greek city-states were eventually absorbed into Hellenistic kingdoms and eventually the Roman Empire.

That was what the Greek gods fed on, supposedly the very best of food and drink. But nobody is certain what those foodstuffs were, because not even the ancient authors knew.

In modern times, we sometimes refer to the ancient Egyptians as pagans, just as we call the ancient Romans and Greeks pagans, but this is not a description the ancients would have recognise. Since they believed that theirs was the one true religion, they did not believe it required a specific name.

As Aesop was a slave and he lived prior to the time of Christ marriage would not have been allow the likes of him.

And while it is true he was a slave (but eventually freed), slaves weren't expressly forbidden to wed. Usually slaves were bred though, like livestock. And because Aesop is widely regarded to have been disfigured in some way and is often depicted as being ugly, misshapen or even as a dwarf, I find it unlikely that any man wouldn't have allowed his daughter to marry a man in his condition, even more so as a slave.

So far we have discovered 39 Ancient Greek temples. However there are likely to be many more lying undiscovered. It's also possible that evidence of some temples have been completely destroyed by nature or humans.

According to my history book," many free people became enslaved when they were captured by armies during war or by pirates while riding ships. Children born into slave families automatically became slaves. Some Greeks were uncomfortable owning other Greeks. Greeks with such scruples, or ethical objections to a situation, solved this problem by owning foreigners.

Socrates is considered to be The Founder of Western Philosophy and one of the most important humans to have ever lived. He has influenced countless philosophers, including his disciple, Plato, and Plato's student, Aristotle. Socrates provided the basis for modern ethics and epistemic thought.

The aristocrats realized that they were more stronger than the king as a group.

It means that Athens had the poleisgovernment system. It is a city but it has the power of a state within the "country" of Greece. City state is literally the textbook definition of polis.

There were eventually over 2,000 independent Greek city-states spread around the Mediterranean and Black Sea littorals. With no easy transport systems, and no telecommunication, contact was difficult and expensive in time, effortt and money.

It was golden not because of Pericles but because of the gold Athens mulcted as taxes from the 200 Greek cities of its empire. This money bankrolled the Golden Age, which came to an end when Athens lost this empire and its gold.

At the battle of Marathon, Athens defeated a punitive expedition by Persia designed to bring Athens and Eretria under control after they interfered in a revolt by Greek cities in Asia Minor. As a result the Persians determined to bring all the Greek city-states under control to ensure peace within the Persian Empire and, after winning over some of the Greek city-states by diplomacy and bribers, they launched an invasion of mainland Greece to gain control of the remainder.

There really are no similarities between the ancient Greek religions and modern Christianity. While certain Christian teachers were certainly influenced by Hellenistic philosophy (Origen was one example), as the church has evolved over the intermediate centuries and once one factors in all of the sectarian splits, what little may have carried over from the Greeks to Christianity has been all but wiped out.

Μιχαήλ

Ancient Egyptians believed that whatever was placed with the Pharaoh or significant person in their tomb would follow them to the after life. Pet companions were mummified along with these people in order that they could transcend life into the after life. This is also why riches were placed in the tombs, for apparently things were still materialistic in the after life.
