Ancient Greece

They Both Exisisted In The Same Time Era. They Also Lived On The Island Of Crete Together : Not In Harmony Though.

Cyclops were one-eyed beings.

They were some of the off-spring of the god Posidon that liked to eat humans. The the most famous is polyphemus who captures Odysseus and his men in a cave eating them one by one. They manage to ecapse clinging onto the underside of the sheep that Polyphemus herds. They also helped the god of craftsmenship Hephaistos in his volcanic forge crasfting things like Zeus' thunderbolt.

In the culture of their day, yes, but not in our culture today. For example, women had few freedoms. They could not be part of government, vote, own land, earn money, buy large items, or enter into contracts.

Allthough I am from Greece I want to tell you that this doesn't affect my answer at all.

To my knowledge Greece has many ancient ruins among them is the Parthenon which is know for its beauty an it's amazing architecture. Also Egypt has some amazing ancient ruins, like the pyramids.

Well, the Greeks developed the most advanced water systems in the world at the time. This allowed lots of farming and drinking water. Also, Sparta had probably the most advanced military system of its time and the Athens developed the worlds first democracy. -6th grade genius

Aristophanes is largely considered as the father of Greek comedy.

The Greeks influenced the Roman religion greatly. Basically, the Greek Gods and Roman Gods were the same, just under different names. For example, the Greek God Zeus, who was the king of the gods, was the same as Jupiter in the Roman religion.

Though it isn't very certain as to what he discovered, it is said that Hippocrates was the first person to believe that diseases were caused naturally and NOT by the gods or superstition. It has also been said that he was the first physician to discover the symptoms for both pneumonia and childhood epilepsy. Hope that helps. :] it should

The name of the judges (of which there were about ten it is unclear how many there were exactly) was the Hellanodikae. They supervised the events, and also the oath that the athletes took, prior to competing. This oath was to certify in front of an ebodyment of Zeus, that the athlete had been in training for ten months. This was in fact the entire year during the ancient dynasties. (July was added by Julius ceasar and another was added by a subsequent emporor.)

Worn over the head to protect the men in battle. Protection from blows and projectiles.

One very popular game was buzz-bones. This was a length of cord threaded through holes in an object (originally a small piece of bone such as the metacarpal or metatarsal of a pig, later disks of lead or pewter with serrated edges, like cog wheels). The cord formed a loop which could be pulled by both hands, spinning the bone or disk which made a rhythmic humming sound. Such objects have been found in Late Roman, Saxon, medieval and post-medieval contexts.

Boys would play with small bows and arrows, play various ball games, or they enjoyed mock jousting using plantain flower spikes for spears - the boy whose flowers were knocked away lost the game.

Girls had dolls, danced and made garlands of wild flowers which they would wear as crowns.

They established city-states on the coastline of southern Italy (eg today's Naples came from Neo Polis = New City in Greek). Many upper class Romans became enamoured of Greek culture as evidenced in their architecture and entertainments.

The main weapon used by the Persians in 490 BC was the bow and arrow. Arrows were accurate weapons, however, they could not penetrate heavy armor or battle shields. They could, however, inflict bad wounds on unprotected parts of a soldiers body.

Hades lived in the architecture of the Underworld and raped Persephone.

A great number of English words is derived from Greek ones. To quote Wikipedia, "In a typical English dictionary of 80,000 words, which corresponds very roughly to the vocabulary of an educated English speaker, about 5% of the words are borrowed from Greek directly, and about 25% indirectly" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/English_words_of_Greek_origin). A wide variety of words like cudos, philosophy and butter are used in the everyday English, as well as the science fields.

=The Hippocratic Oath as follows:=I SWEAR by Apollo the physician, and Aesculapius, and Health, and All-heal, and all the gods and goddesses, that, according to my ability and judgment, I will keep this Oath and this stipulation- to reckon him who taught me this Art equally dear to me as my parents, to share my substance with him, and relieve his necessities if required; to look upon his offspring in the same footing as my own brothers, and to teach them this art, if they shall wish to learn it, without fee or stipulation; and that by precept, lecture, and every other mode of instruction, I will impart a knowledge of the Art to my own sons, and those of my teachers, and to disciples bound by a stipulation and oath according to the law of medicine, but to none others. I will follow that system of regimen which, according to my ability and judgment, I consider for the benefit of my patients, and abstain from whatever is deleterious and mischievous. I will give no deadly medicine to any one if asked, nor suggest any such counsel; and in like manner I will not give to a woman a pessary to produce abortion. With purity and with holiness I will pass my life and practice my Art. I will not cut persons laboring under the stone, but will leave this to be done by men who are practitioners of this work. Into whatever houses I enter, I will go into them for the benefit of the sick, and will abstain from every voluntary act of mischief and corruption; and, further from the seduction of females or males, of freemen and slaves. Whatever, in connection with my professional practice or not, in connection with it, I see or hear, in the life of men, which ought not to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should be kept secret. While I continue to keep this Oath unviolated, may it be granted to me to enjoy life and the practice of the art, respected by all men, in all times! But should I trespass and violate this Oath, may the reverse be my lot!

The earliest Greek people were the Minoans. They lived on the island of Crete 3000 years ago and their civilization lasted for 2000 years. Greece is a peninsula that is easily accessible by boat. This feature made it an ideal place to settle and because the Minoans were trading with other countries, Greece was well known.

They were dedicated to their gods

There are several Greek cities with S as first letter. To name some we start Serres capital city of Prefacture Serrae, Sami port city of Kefallonia and of course the most famous ancient greek city of Sparta.

Artemis is not evil or good; she protects a mother giving birth, and girl children - yet at the same time, can kill the girl children if there is need for it; she goddess that represents a force of nature.

The Mountains influenced Greek history, because they seperated Greeks from each other.

They used to eat bread, butter, veggies, and they drank water. I'm pretty sure they just basically ate what they grew on their land, and when they had the money, would ocasionaly buy bread, or something quite expensive. Rich people often snacked on grapes, meat, olive oil, bread, fruits, etc. Hope I helped! :)

The Greeks believed in all of the gods and goddesses, while everyone had their own god that they worshipped the most. Farmers worshipped Demeter in hopes of a bountiful harvest. Warriors would worship Athena or Ares, so they could be great in battle.
