Ancient Greece

Slaves would be there in Greece to perform daily work. There are 2 main ways somebody could become a slave:

1. If they were born into slavery (mother was already a slave).

2. If they were kidnapped in war or daily life and then sold into slavery.

Slaves were the lowest in society. Masters were allowed to do anything to their slaves, masters could torture their slaves, beat their slaves, even kill their slaves and get away with it.

Slaves could only be free if their master freed them. Once they were free, they were okay to leave, but they still had to come back every so often to thank their master.

the technology they had was weapons like spear head and theybuilt pyramid so they had to have building material.

They first spread to the east in Asia Minor as overpopulated cities sent out their surplus people to establish new cities for themselves. Then they sent them to the west as far as Sicily, Spain and North Africa, and east around the Black Sea. Eventually there were over 2,000 cities which comprised the Greek world.

Slaves didn't get paid. They received food, somewhere to sleep and if they were lucky clothes.

The "Minoans" were not Greeks, But there civilization was the first to arise in the region that later became Greece.

It pioneered a form of radical democracy which taught us to adopt democracy with caution and modification.

It successfully subdued its neighbours and used their money to promote its own comfort.

It promoted warfare as a way of gaining and retaining power over others.

After Christianity became the state religion of the Roman Empire, Christian mobs, often led by the bishops, set about burning all literature that did not support the objectives of the Church. Many ancient texts were lost forever, as were nearly all the Gnostic Christian texts, at least until the Nag Hammadi disciveries of the twentieth century.

In large parts of the Middle East, the Nestorians and Jacobites, who had been excluded from the Orthodox Church for alleged heresy, were outside the reach of Rome and were therefore free to follow their somewhat more tolerant teachings. By the time of the Muslim conquest, many of the most important ancient texts had survived under the protection of the Eastern Churches. The Nestorians and Jacobites continued to flourish for some centuries under Islamic rule, and provided many of the scholars of the early Islamic empire, teaching Muslim scholars the fundamentals of Greek scholarship. Whereas the Catholic-Orthodox Church had feared the damaging effect of non-Christian literature on innocent minds, the Muslims had no such concerns and made no attempt to destroy the ancient texts.

He established a model democracy in which every citizen could participate. While no country has adopted such a form of government in the modern world, it has inspired many modern republics, including the United States.

Many styles and fashions today are Greek-inspired especially clothing items such as evening gowns. There are many hairstyles which have been worn since Grecian times. Gladiator sandals have been in style lately, many designs which were very similar to ones the ancient Greeks would have worn.

The concept of "zero" is a very difficult one for many people to understand, even today. It is what remains when you have "one" and subtract "one" - the result is nothingness, emptiness, a void.

Ancient people generally did not see any need to represent "nothingness" as a numeric value and they got along just fine without it. It is only when better technology and the concept of advanced mathematics came along that "zero" needed to be written down - if you think about it, this is a paradox since writing "zero" means you are writing down absolutely nothing at all.

In the late ancient period, Babylonian mathematicians came up with a sign for zero, simply because they need a "placeholder" to denote nothingness in their sexigessimal system; the Mayas in Central America did much the same in the 4th century AD.

Our concept of numeric zero seems to start in India, passing into Europe via the Arab mathematicians.

One result of the independent spirit of early Greeks was the establishment of city-states, or poleis, such as Athens and Sparta. These city-states fostered a sense of local identity and governance, leading to diverse political systems and cultural developments. The emphasis on individualism and civic participation also laid the groundwork for democratic principles, particularly in Athens, influencing future political thought and systems in the Western world.

There is no single answer here. There are many Greek philosophers and many philosophical systems they believed in. Plato, Aristotle, Socrates, Heracletus are just some of them and one should know that each had his own view of the world. You should refer to specific questions on each one of them in WikiAnswers.

It was either Zues or Athena

Zeus and Athena were gods, not leaders of the Ancient Greek people. Some of the most famous rulers were:

Pericles

Solon

Cleisthenes

Themistocles

Cimon

Lysander

Lycurgus

THere are many many more, but these are some of the most well known.

Perhaps the greatest greek thinker was Aristotle plato's student. Aristotle believed that moderation was based on reason, or clear and ordered thinking.

the ancient greek market was called an agora.

Ancient Greece was comprised of over 2,000 independent city-states stretching around the Mediterranean and Black Seas, with perpetual wars amongst each other. There were hundreds of wars. The eastern cities were conquered by Macedonia, then Rome took over the Greek world, and in the later history of Europe, the Greeks were absorbed by many incoming Eurasian invaders.Greece did not re-emerge until the early 19th Century.
