Ancient Greece

Crete is the largest.

Macedonia - Roman province - was created in 146.

I think it unite in 1932

classical mythology explains that lightning happens when Zeus is angry and throws a thunder bolt and lighting.Science explains lightning as a phenomenon that occurs during a weather change when atmosphere dischargess electricity.

The Earth was first thought to have been speculated as being spherical from the 6th Century BC, with the idea being developed and more widely accepted into the 3rd Century BC.

Pythagoras was around during the 6th century BC, he may have first speculated the Earths spherical shapes, but no one knows for sure. Other Mathematicians and philosophers such as Herodotus, Plato and Aristotle also contributed to the idea following Pythagoras' time.

Principally by establishing scores of cities on the Greek model (many called Alexandria after himself). These cities were self-governing and had temples, market places, theatres, baths and, for the men, perfume shops. He also married his senior soldiers to Asian women to breed up hybrid populations reared in Greek ways. He also allowed Greek carpetbaggers to gain commercial influence. Even the Jewish aristocracy adopted Greek ways, and even had operations to restore their foreskins so that they wouldn't look mutilated at the baths.

Hellenistic is a modern word used to describe this world he left behind when he died - not Greek below the aristocracy, but a veneer of Greek culture, which progressively returned to other ways as the Hellenistic Kingdoms which his generals carved out for themselves shrank from covering the Middle East and Central Asia to Egypt, Syria and parts of Asia Minor.

The Greeks stopped fighting every four years for the Olympics because the Olympics honored the gods.

Doric is an adjective referring to type of people or things. The Greek peoples were of different tribal/cultural origins - Achaeans, Aeolians, Ionians, Dorians. The Dorians included the Doric people of Corinth and Sparta.

Mycenaean.

An Oligarchy = rule by the few.

Aristotle said that an Oligarchy was a degraded form of Aristocracy = rule by the best.

Sparta was a limited democracy - citizens in assembly voted on issues put before them but could not discuss or raise issues. Athens became a radical democracy where citizens in assembly raised, discussed and decided on issues.

In hot countries nothing except something to cover their modesty. Perhaps ceremonial dress was employed at festivals.

Initially, in the north wear human existence is precarious, they would have used processed animal skins stitched with bone needles and may have used hand woven materials. In modern times the Japanese used raincoats made from woven straw or leaves. Before the last Ice Age loom weaving was used and 25,000 BC knitting was used in central Europe.

If one can imagine following herds over long distances during migrations through hostile environments like Ice Age Eurasia, they need sophisticated tools, sleighs, and clothing.

Honor and victory were pretty major. A man was supposed to be aggressive and powerful, a woman not so much. Certain... um... "affectionate behaviors" between men and younger boys were not seen as perverted in Sparta, but women doing "masculine" things was. In some ways like a modern army, in others very different, I guess.

The ancient historical period is generally considered to start at 500 BCE after cursive writing became common and events were recorded in detail.

Before that is Pre-history, when events had to be retrieved from lesser sources and evidence.

The three types of Greek columns are Doric, Ionic and Corinthian.

1. Dorian represents man or male

2. Ionic represents woman or female

3. Corinthian represents the young maiden

It was characterized by polytheistic religion based on mythology

1. In ancient times , Greece nwas not one united or unified country because of the mountains. How did ... How does human development affect the environment?

Athens was a democracy and had more liberal (for that time) thinking and had good navy. Sparta was a oligarchy was more conservative and militaristic and had great army. In the war between them (Peloponnesian war), Sparta won.

Migratory tribes settled on arable land and erected a hill fort for protection against invaders. Cities grew up around the hill, and so a city-state was formed, the inhabitants having no wish or reason to merge with neighbours who might be rival or predators.

Well I'm not sure if 'pets' are the right word but most of the Greek gods had animals that represented them. Fir example Zeus had the Eagle, Ares had the dogs, Aphrodite had the dove, etc. The closest thing to a pet was Hades Cerberus who didn't represent him.

Neptune is Posiedon's roman name.

Although it has the superficial legacy of 12th Century BCE Mycenaean Greek times of kings, it has underlying descriptions of later elements from the time of Homer in the late 8th Century BCE, where the landowning farmers were in control, and the heroes were really military guardians hired by the farmers to protect their property from invaders.

The soil was mostly poor as Greece is mountainous and rocky. And there were no tractors for ploughing - traction for ploughs was by ox, and these put pressure on the normal small farmer to feed it as well as his family on farms about a hectare in area, particularly in winter.

And of course, how did you divide the farm amongst several sons and their families, when the plot was only big enough for one family - you shipped them off to grab farms of their own in other territory, which is how Greek cities sprang up all around the Mediterranean and Black seas.

By today's standards they were small, with small rooms. Walls were thick and windows small to keep out the heat in summer and keep in the heat in winter. The better-off had houses with an inside court yard and with womens' quarters.

The Ancient Greeks did not know much about the Earth. They developed deities that were personifications of worldly things to provide answers to things beyond their knowledge. Also the Greek gods embodied specific emotions and characteristics, making them somewhat imperfect. For example, Poseidon embodied anger and aggression, and could hold quite a grudge. Zeus embodied hospitality, but was often prone to jealousy and lust.
