They had over 2,000 around the Mediterranean and Black Sea littorals.

Alexander the Great took Judah over in passing and incorporated it as a minor part of his empire.
No Jewish king defeated the Persians, the Persians took over Judah as part of their empire.

The real reason why rulers and citizens invest in art is because art was very expensive back than and sometimes told a story

The spread of Greek culture.

It removed the control of the oligarchs and gave the citizens control of their city-state.

The ancient Greeks included Buddhist art of the Gandhara style in their sculptures with representations of the spiritual figures, and in their 2D paintings and drawings with symbolic features of the Buddhist culture

Pisistratus was an Athenian leader who came to power in 560 B.C. He also gave the Aristrocrats land to the poor and helped Athenian trade.

Yes, I believe after he killed Megara, he was given the 12 tasks. After this, by the by, he married Deianira, who he won from the river god Achelous.

It's not. The Romans would have conquered the Greeks if they were stuffed into the same world. There were way more strategists in the roman times, and strategy had developed way beyond what the Greeks could have understood. Greece was not a larger empire, only at it largest under Alexander and still not as big. Most the countries he conquered were that of a lower stature than his own. Most of them just tried to overrun him, and the few that attempted strategy were so bad at it they just got overwhelmed. Alexanders military grew with each conquering. The more countries conquered the easier it becomes. He only stopped because his troops wanted to go home. Most in roman times understood about strategy and learned it before they were allowed to command an army. Roman milatary was far better than greek milatary

First one, then two, then three, supported by a singing and dancing chorus.

Decelean War they lost 10,000 hoplites of their own and the allies, while in Sicily 40,000 and 260 ships.

For Athenian 5,470 hoplites killed in battle, along with at least 12,600 from the poorer thetic class

The invading Persians at the battles of Plataea and Mycale.

They developed a radical democracy where all citizens met in assembly fortnightly to direct the council on actions to be taken. This is practicable only in a small state where citizens can cover the distance to vote in person. With our large states today this is impracticable, so we have representative democracy where elected representatives meet in a parliament to carry out the wishes of the people.

Together with the rest of the Greek world, it passed on architecture, art, the arts, language which have influenced modern society.

They mostly wore berry juice, for their lips and eyes, charcoal for eyeliner, and white lead to create a pale complexion, which we now know killed many women because while lead is toxic.

Each city-state had its own laws and customs. Civil matters were enforced by heads of families, both within the families and between families.

Political and property laws were the responsibility of a magistrate and a council. Punishments ranged from banishment and restriction of rights to execution.

In Athens enforcement of their decisions was undertaken by a group known as The Ten, who arranged the whippings and executions ordered. Other cities had similar arrangements.

Alliances in Greece changed. For example several times Sparta and Athens fought on the same side, at others on opposing sides. Similarly at times Sparta and Thebes fought together, at other times were opponents. Generally Sparta was allied to other Doric city-states, though again this was not a hard and fast rule.

And although Persia was usually an opponent of the Greek city-states, it was Persian financial support which enabled Sparta and its allies to get a competent fleet in the Peloponnesian War and defeat Athens.

The difference between modern day theatre and ancient Greek theater is that in ancient Greece only boys could act in the shows. The stages were tilted instead of the chairs for the audience and they used big two sided masks made of rock.
