Ancient Greece

Principally because of over-population. With small farms, unirrigated in poor country, it was not possible to subdivide them amongst several sons, so a city-state had to try to take land from neighbouring cities. This fighting might reduce also the male population somewhat, but the limited overall supply of land and human fecundity meant that eventually they had to send off the surplus to new areas to seize land and establish new cities. This resulted in the growth of Greek cities around the coast of the Mediterranean and Black Seas. Another reason was to get rid of non-propertied people living in the cities. These were potentially trouble-makers, and sending them off allowed tham to be raised to property owners in the new site. As a side benefit, establishing a colony allowed political opponents to be shipped off too.

the Parthenon was built in honor of the goddess Athena

There were no lawyers. Before a court, a citizen pleaded his own case. Judges might be an aristocrat hearing pleas between his own clients of negotiating with another aristocrat reperesnting one of his clients, or in eg the Athenian democracy, a court of 500 citizen jurors who determined issues - with no judges.

it is a form of citizen's rule; right to rule by wealth or land ownership.....

they ran their government for their own reasons or needs- I got this straight from my teacher

The mountains, rivers and seas defined tracts of arable lane which separated early settler tribes and the land and cities they took over. These tribes were opposed to each other hand valued their independence, with no desire to unite.

Direct Democracy

The Agora was an open place of assembly used first for citizens to gather for military duty or to hear from the ruling king or council while later it was used as an open marketplace.

They would join in military alliances when it suited their interests, but these alliances changed constantly.

Many cities were then were taken over by the Hellenistic Kingdoms established by the generals who succeeded Alexander the Great after his death, when they divided his empire between them.

I believe it was the aztecs...but I could be wrong

Some Greek instruments, were the Lyre and the Anlos. I hope this helped you answer your question. Thank you! :)

its called ιωνία (ionia).

Mycenae ruled Greece from about 1600 BC to about 1100 BC. Is that what you meant? Or did you want to know when they first came into existence? The site contains debris datable to about 3500 BC.

______________

The Greek city states were formed following the Mycenaean era approx 1600-1100 BC, when the Greeks identified as one of the four Greek identities, (Doric, Attic, Ionian, Aeloic). The Mycenaean era existed during the bronze age with power consolidated in the hands of the Mycaenean kings who had the money and power to possess bronze age weapons. With the discovery of iron which made weapons more accessible for the common people, reliance on kings and kingdoms diminished and people formed states along the natural geographic lines of the Greek land. This however happened gradually (1100-800 BC - dark ages), which is why you could find democratic Athens existing with Homeric style Greek kingdoms like Macedonia and Epirus.

The door ways are at the top of the houses.

King Darius I sent an expedition in 490 BCE to punish and instal friendly local tyrants in Eretria and Athens in 490 BCE.

Rome began as a city-state and expanded its territory to accommodate a growing population. As it expanded, it gained allies tributary to it, and as its power grew it was invited to intervene in external problems, which embroiled it in wars which expanded its territories outside Italy. Politically it was controlled by the oligarchic Senate with the checks and balances of popular assemblies. However this system broke down resulting civil wars, which was resolved by Augustus keeping up the facade of the Republic and having reserve powers which enabled him to rule autocratically without calling himself that.

Rome ended up, through good governance, providing stability in Europe and the Middle East for hundreds of years.

Egypt was a Monarchy with strong Theocratic support. While it from time to time expanded in the eastern Mediterranean, it was essentially the territory of the Nile River, where the Pharoah ruled and organised administrative support and services for the benefit of the people. Even the pyramid workers were free men, earning a living while the flood waters prevented them from working their plots.

With the successive conquest of Egypt by the Assyrians, Persians then Macedonians, a system of exploitation was built up, which reduced the small-farmers to serfs providing tax revenues for their foreign overlords. As Egypt became critical for the grain supply of the city of Rome, after he had defeated Antony and Cleopatra, Augustus reduced it to a province with a Roman governor.

In Athens, the women stayed at home and were not aloud to go out of the house unless a man accompanies them.

In Sparta, women was allowed to learn fighting so they could get healthy sons for the army.

Greek culture has many impacts on today's society including math-the Pythagorean theorem, the Olympic games, putting together an alphabet, inventing banks, and most important creating a Democracy. Hope this helps

The greece used many natural resources for survival. For food they ate mostly fish because of the water surrounding them. They also hunt in the wild life. They grew plants and special herbs with seeds. They used wood from trees and rocks from mountains for houses and used sand for flooring. They used water of course to drink and use it to make pottery.

Typically rich aristocrats (citizens in the highest social class) headed the oligarchies of ancient Greek city-states. Additionally, military leaders were part of these types of governments. This was especially true of Sparta.

Gods are invented by humans to explain things they have no answer for.

The progressive development of knowledge about these unknowns from scientific understanding has increasingly reduced the need to have gods and religious explanations.
