Obviously the idea of 'drama' as human beings producing a performance symbolising something else has been around for almost as long as Homo sapiens or even erectus.
Drama was practised in some form or another in most ancient civillisations. Drama as we know it, performed by actors in 'theatres' was invented by the Greeks. Indeed, drama is a Greek word. The idea of organised drama was taken up by the Romans and thereby spread through the ancient world.
Why did tyranny democracy oligarchy and monarchy lose power in ancient Greece?
It isn't that they lost power, they were replaced by the governments of conquerors. When Rome annexed what we know as Greece in 146 BC, they supplanted any existing governments, with their own.

How did Greek theatre influence Greek people?
Theatre was part of religious festivals, in which they participated either on the stage or as spectators. Interestingly the farmer-warriors were happy to dance and sing the female parts in the chorus.

The function of the tragedies was catharsis - cleaning out the spirit - and the void left by this cleansing was recharged with the other two.
Which battle is considered the most glorious defeat in history?
I say the Battle of Hwangsanbeol, the armies of Bakje fought to the death, literally, and inflicted higher casulties on the opposing Silla armies, for Bakje was out numbered 10-1 the silla forces were 50,000 and bakje had 5,000. And on the western side of the country of bakje, the Tang dystanty sent 130,000 men to help Silla destroy bakje, so General Gyebaek leader of the hopeless army, knowing he would lose, inspired his men to make an epic stand. It was one of the few times in history the losing force ever fought to the death
I can also speak of The Battle of Thermopylae. The 300 Spartans under the command of Leonidas fought to the death even when they knew there was no chance of wining against the Persian army.

Khufu- first to build a pyramid tomb at Giza
Amenhotep I- led the army into battle in Nubia.

Tutankhamen- the boy king ( he was crowned at 9 and died at 18), known for his tomb found undisturbed and richly decorated in the Valley of the Kings.
Ankhenaten- religious reformer. Brought about the temporary worship of one god, Aten, and was husband of the beautiful Queen Nefertiti.
Ramses II- built many temples and monuments. The Old Testament claims him as the Pharaoh who ruled Egypt in the time of Moses.
Cleopatra VII- a brilliant strategist, and a charismatic, powerful ruler, she is perhaps the most myth-ified (or slandered) ruler in history. She is most famous for her relationships with Julius Caesar and Mark Anthony. Also the last pharaoh (at least the last competent) of Egypt.

Why did the Ancient Greeks and Ancient Egyptians worship their Gods?
People worship gods for many reasons, perhaps originally because this gave them some control over their lives. They could call on their gods to ensure a good crop, a victory in war, help in a crisis or any other worthwhile purpose. Some people continue to worship the God or gods of their parents because they have never stopped to really consider whether there really are any gods. But religion also provides some people with comfort and a sense of purpose. There is diversity in religion because there is no objective proof that one religion and its God or gods are more true than another.

What were the major factors that provoked the Peloponnesian War?
Athens led the anti-Persian league of a couple of hundred Greek city-states - the Delian League - levying financial contributions to maintain the fleet it provided as its core. After peace was arranged with the Persian Empire, Athens continued the levy, by force if necessary, and spent the money on itself, creating an empire of its own. It used its power and money to interfere in the affairs of Greek cites outside its empire, and so came into collision with the Peloponnesian League led by Sparta.
This war spread well beyond mainland Greece to Asia Minor in the east and Sicily in the west, which stopped an early resolution as Sparta had expected. It came to an end when Persia got back at Athens by financing a Peloponnesian fleet to match Athens' fleet, which was defeated, and Athens, isolated and starving had to surrender. Athens was stripped of it's empire and thereafter became a second rate power.
Why do lighter objects fall slower than heavier objects?
In a vacuum. like in outer space, all substances fall at the same rate.
Here on earth, the rate of falling is influenced by air resistance. A feather has 'way more air resistance than a ball of steel, for example, so falls slower.
