Ancient Greece

Both the ancient Greeks and Egyptians were polytheistic; they believed in many deities. They had myths about how things came into being, nature, etc. They also built temples to honor their gods and had visions of an "afterlife", or life after death. These are only a few ways the two religions were similar.

They were built to house statues of the gods. The were also used as places of refuge and a protected place to stash money and other valuables.

They used an item such as the slash-and-burn which burns down trees and cuts them down in a large forest to make extra land for farming.

Athens led the Delian League coalition which it led in the last phase o the war against the Persian Empire into an empire of its own, continuing to enforce collection of the war contributions after the war was over, and spending the money on itself.

When Athens fell out with other city-states led by Sparta resulting in the Peloponnesian War, Persia bankrolled the fleet of the Spartan alliance which defeated Athens.

Who really benefited - the Greek world was devastated by the endless wars.

Ancient Greece did not have a government of assembly. It was comprised of over 2,000 independent city-states which each had its own form of government. These forms varied from monarchy, tyranny, oligarchy, limited democracy and radical democracy.

In a limited democracy, the citizens voted for issues put before them by the council.

In a radical democracy, the assembly decided what was to be considered and decided on the outcome, which was implemented by the council. Anyone seeking to influence the assembly had to do it by effective oratory. Unfortunately good orators could sway them to unwise decisions, often with catastrophic results.

The Battle of Thermopylae was fought between an alliance of Greek city-states, led by Sparta, and the Persian Empire of Xerxes I over the course of three days, during the second Persian invasion of Greece.

The Greek chorus was a group of approximately twelve actors who acted similar to modern narrators in Greek plays. They were integral to the plays and would sometimes have over half of the lines. Their job was to comment on the action in the play, either by speaking all together or by singing. They would dress similarly and wear masks.

The role of the Greek chorus was to provide time for scene changes, give the main actors a break and time to prepare for the next scene, offer background information and information about the main themes, to offer an insight into a character's thoughts and feelings, and just generally act as a go-between for the audience and the actors. Incidentally, battles and murders were not allowed to be performed in Greek theatres and so the chorus would tell the audience of such events instead of them being acted out.

They used spears, swords, pikes, and chariots along with siege machines.

Their helmets and greaves were made of bronze Shields were made of leather and bronze Swords and spearheads were made of iron.

They responded to a call for aid from their fellow Greeks, the Ionians,who were at the time under Persian rule, The Athenians failed to free the Ionians at the time, but burned the city of Sardis to the ground. Darius was infuriated and demanded to know who has so savaged the city. "The Athenians" was the response.

As a preventative measures the Romans first made sure that they had clean water. They stayed away from places such as the Pontine Marshes, with their unhealthy air and swarms of biting insects. They left the city during the hot summers, when plague or disease was apt to break out. (at least the wealthy did) They would also periodically take "purges". Which was a laxative treatment, in the belief that they would flush the bad humors from their bodies.

Solon became popular by giving land to the landless farm owners.

Probably gradually from the fifth century through the 8th, Latin evolved into the romance languages of French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian. Changes in language started with the Germanic invasions and settlements in the 4th century. Latin ceased to be spoken in society except in the Roman Catholic church. However, Medieval Latin continued to be used in education, medicine and other fields in Europe until the 18th century.

After his death his generals divided the empire and began to fight over their shares.

Aeschylus was, like Euripedes and Sophocles, a playwright. He wrote tragedies and thus became famous and his plays are still used and read in contemporary times.

Greece had 16 rulers.

In ancient Greece Hermes was the messenger of the Gods. The roman god Mercury wasn identified with Hermes and the two are usually treated as the same

Becasue of his speedy nature, his name was given to the planet Mercury in ancient times.

Ancient Greece had colonies or influence in Asian minor, Sicily, Gaul, and Africa.

Mostly all - like Sparta and Athens. Mycenaean and Minoan city-states also had democracy. Other city-states and eventually other countries like Rome and U.S adapted to democracy from the Greeks.

The frieze, pediments, columns (look at the Parthenon), the Olympics, wine, lifelike statues, philosophies, and (if I am not wrong) grapes/olives.

If you look around you'll find the ancient Greek influence in basically every major city...especially in Europe and the US. You'll see it in the architecture and art and the way the government works. We have a similar justice system to the one they had.

True or False. Logic and proof in math have been in existence sine the time of the ancient Greeks. true
