Ancient Greece

Because they had a little say so.

One of the greatest Greek historians was Herodotus. He was a historian that lived from 484 to 425 BC. He was born in Caria.

It was the persia

That they were the centre and standard of culture and learning and that other peoples were 'barbarians'.

When Persephone would return from the Underworld and was reunited with her mother, Demeter, there was happiness and this half of a year became spring and summer.

The Delian League was formed under Athenian leadership to keep the city-states of Asia Minor and the Islands free of Persian rule. When peace was made with Persia, Athens kept the League going and collected the war funds each year, by force if necessary. Athens moved the treasury from Delos to Athens and happily spent them on beautifying the city, putting half its own citizens on the public payroll, and kept a strong fleet going to collect the funds from the cities.

Pericles, a leader of Athens, admitted that Athens had converted the league to protect against the Persian Empire into an empire of its own.

There are several Greek tragedies that still exist, but the most popular might be the Oedipus cycle. The author is Sophocles.

Persia began to give money to the Spartan alliance, which enabled them to mount a war fleet which could match the hitherto dominant Athenian fleet.

The Spartan alliance destroyed the Athenian fleet at Aigospotami, the Athenians were confined to their city wals and starved into surrender.

We learnt the their model of direct democracy did not work. The gullible people were led astray by demagogues which led to great loss for the people. Our modern representative democracy, for all it's faults, puts a space between poor or self-interested leadership and impulsive action by the people.

(Assuming that by dinner you mean supper) dinner was at 2 p.m. It was the main meal of the day. The Romans had a light lunch at 12 p,m., which was the end of the working day. They then went to the baths and after that they had supper (cena). The Roman day ended at dusk because the working day started at dawn.

The children of the rich ate at the same time and in the same room as their parent (the triclinium, dining room). However, they sat at a table instead of eating on the klinai or lectus, the couches were the adults reclined to eat. Imperial children are reported reclining on the lectus imus below their father, or seated at the ends of the parent's couches, or seated at a separate and more rustic table with other young nobles. The couches were ranked as the highest (lectus summus), the middle (lectus medius) and the lowest (lectus imus);

The poor lived on the upper floor of tenement blocks (insulae) which only had overcrowded sleeping rooms and no cooking facilities. They went there only to sleep and spent their free time at the baths or outdoors and ate at outdoors eating outlets or at simple dining places.

The form of this goverment was declined because the citizens of an oligarchy had very little say how the was run so slowy they to disappear (a stable oligarchy ruled only on city Sparta)

The Temple of Zeus, The Temple on the Ilissus, The Temple of Aphaia

Selene is the Greek goddess of the moon, if that helps.

In 63 BC Rome was at peace but was in the middle of the conspiracy of Cataline. You could say that the Romans "conquered" the senators of the conspiracy and the rag-tag army that Cataline was supposed to have gathered. Incidentally, 63 BC was also the year that Octavian/Augustus was born.

Unite- Ancient Greece was never a united or unified country.

Divide- The rugged mountains and numerous bays divided Greece into small, isolated regions and city-states. Travel between the city states was difficult, so the city states didn't communicate much with each other, and therefore developed a system of governments.

The earliest Greek swords were made of bronze. In the time that Homer wrote about, Homeric swords were more advanced. One type was called chalcos and was made of copper. There were also the Xiphos, Phasganon, and Aor. These were made of steel that sometimes had gold and silver accents. The xiphos has a double edge. There was also a kopis which was a machete like blade.

Epics are not typically characterized by brevity; they are long narratives that explore grand themes and heroic deeds. They also do not focus on mundane or everyday events, as their scope usually involves significant cultural or historical events and characters. Additionally, epics often employ elevated language and formal structure, which is not a characteristic of simpler or more casual storytelling forms.

Up to the 19th Century CE, new words in English tended to be made up from Latin. However, due to the limited scope of Latin, it was then decided to use Classic Greek. So English is now littered with Greek prefixes and compound words. Example prefix: pan = all, hence Pan-American Airlines (All-American Airlines), Pan-Pacific Games (All-Pacific Games) Example compound word: tele = afar, phonos = sound, hence telephone (sound from afar) - think of other words starting with tele Single word: nike = victory, hence the brand of sportswear Clues: the Greek letters phi and psi give clues to borrowed words - so words with those sounds are obvious borrowings eg philosophy (philos = love, sophos wisdom, love of wisdom) and psychology (psyche = soul,spirit, logos = disourse, science of interpreting the human mind) are obvious borrowings. Think of all the words with logy at the end of them. Names: hippos = horse, potamos = river hence hippopotamus (river horse); philos = love, hippos = horse hence Philip (horse lover); philos = love, dendron = tree, hence philodendron (plant that loves to climb on trees). And so it goes on - tens of thousands of 'em.

Her name is Aurora.

Dolus was the male god of trickery and guile.

Apate was the female god of deciet.

Poseidon was called the earth-shaker in geek mythology because he caused earthquakes when he was angry.
