Ancient Greece

Well according to Thusydides it was the fear and jealousy of Athens, the Pentecontaetia incident where the attempt to prevent Athens from rebuilding its walls was rebuffed, the resettlements of rebel helots by Athens on a strategic city of Naupactus and the corcyraen incidents.

The immediate incidents that led up to the war. The corcyraean incident, the siege of Potidaea and the Megarian degree.

Delphi was the site of the most famous of the Greek oracles.

They were made out of mud and they probably used a mould

it would be neighboring countries who wanted to take over one of the Greek city state or to fight another city state

Well, to start, Zeus is the god of the sky, and he controls weather. The second closest one is a Myth about Persephone being snatched up into Hades, and Demeter, her mother and goddess of harvest, was devastated and didn't eat or drink so therefore she starved the earth until Zeus had to give in but only if Persephone had not eaten anything in the underworld. Sadly, she had eaten six (and only six) Pomegranate seeds, So Zeus had to only give her six months in the upper-world, and six months in Hades, so each year, six months out of the year, (supposedly, around Fall and Winter) Demeter grieves for the loss of her daughter, and (in Spring and Summer) soon after, she rejoices and springs the earth back to life when her beloved daughter comes back, Explaining the Seasons.

At local market, like we do today - also by trade with other city-states.

Its influence was on the developing styles of literature of other peoples who used it to develop their own styles and genres, and often used the characters and events in them as a base for their own variations.

Athens , a sea power ,sought to exploit her neighbors commercially through the dominance of her navy to the detriment of Sparta , a land based power , and other city-states . This led to many wars.

When Athens used its navy to good effect during the 27-year Peloponnesian War, Sparta realised that it had to get the Peloponnesian league an equally strong nave to succeed. They took money from Persia to build a fleet which finally destroyed the Athenian navy and led to Athens' surrender.

A man would marry a woman for political reasons and may well fall in love with her after living together and raising children but usually his love would in another woman, usually a professional prostitute essentially. This woman would be a social animal, a professional party-goer, discussing politics or whatever the men she would mingle with would want to talk about

A tyrant was appointed to bring a balance to a society where the ruling upper class was so exploiting the lower classes that revolution and self-destruction was becoming inevitable. The aristocracy resented this but had to put up with it as long as the tyrant retained overall public support. The tyrant was, however, under constant threat of assassination and so had to hire a large bodyguard, and impose a tax to pay for it. No Greek class liked taxes and so the tyrants were eventually deposed or murdered, opening the way for a trial of democracy as an alternative. Democracy often failed, bringing back the aristocrats, another tyrant of a king, and so the cycle went on.

Because the terrain that they controlled mainly wasn't suitable for a lot of their needs and population growth. As an example, the Black Sea coastal regions provided Athens with plenty of grain due to its fertile soil.

Most likely levers of some kind were used in very ancient Egypt (5000 BCE), and certainly one could say that they were used/invented well before the ancient Greeks came to the scene.

There were two major festivals of Dionysus that included theater: the tragic festival in the spring near the equinox, and the comic festival in the winter near the solstice.

Ancient and modern-day Egypt are slightly the same, and maybe even related. It is still a better life for the wealthy than the poor, and many Egyptians who are still alive today practice the crafts they made in ancient times, like basket weaving. Also, the Nile River is still very important to the modern Egyptians, just as it was many years ago. The flooding of the Nile was very predictable back then, so ancient Egyptians could decide when the Nile would flood and bring rich and fertile soil mixed with rocks, sometimes called silt. The Nile River still floods at about the same times, and still brings silt at the same time every year. Farming is also important to Egyptians today and long ago. Today, people gather plants such as clover to feed their animals. They still used farming for that purpose in ancient times. So one could definitely conclude that Egypt is still alike what it was in ancient times. On the other hand, Egypt has changed quite a bit from what it was thousands and thousands of years ago. People do not celebrate their religion as they did long ago. For example: · They no longer create mummies or pyramids. · They do not believe in the same gods and goddesses as they did in ancient times. · They aren't even a part of polytheism, or worship of many gods. · Most Egyptians are now Muslims and worship Allah instead of other goes. Another way that Egypt has changed is their government. Many millenniums ago, Egyptians believed that Pharaohs, their leaders, were sons of the god Horus, and therefore were gods as well. Nowadays, they do not believe in those gods, as I said earlier, and instead have presidents.

Written scripts, Dialogue, and The tragic genre (all of the above apex)

It was ruthless in collecting the annual financial contributions from the majority of cities which elected to provide money rather than warships to stave off Persian intrusions. This was carried out by force where necessary - the Delian League fleet went around the couple of hundred cities of the League collecting it; there are records of cities being attacked to extract the money. The people of Naxos were sold into slavery, as were the Melians; those of Samos were branded with the letter S on their foreheads; all to remind the cities to pay up.

After peace was made with Persia, Athens continued to extort the money, but now used it to spend on itself, glorifying its city (Parthenon etc), put half its population on the public payroll, and send out 100 ships for the annual collection. Athenian leader Pericles admitted that Athens had turned the League into an empire of its own.

It then dragged them into a war with he Peloponnesian League which lasted 27 years and devastated the Greek world from Sicily to Asia Minor. Athens lost and was stripped of its empire, thereafter having to co-exist as a lesser power and on its own money.
