Ancient Greece

Each Ancient Greek city was an independent state (There were exceptions such as the Kingdoms of Lydia and Macedon). Most used kings.

Some replaced their kings with a Tyrant who was elected for life but which was a non heredity position. That worked for a while but before long the Tyrant became an absolute ruler.

Some cities, such as Athens, tried direct democracy for a brief period. In that democracy, only certain citizens, not all, could vote.

Some used a king with an elected council. This pattern prevailed during the Roman Empire with the Roman Governor replacing the king.

So, the question remains concerning ancient Greek government: where and when?

Made offerings to the goddess Athena and asked for guidance and support as she was patron goddess of the city; stored the city's money there under the protection of the goddess; sought sanctuary there under protection of the goddess.

Greek soldiers had to be strictly Greek citizens and had to be of Greek religion.

The role of mythology is important in the life of ancient Greeks because it helped them answer questions they could not with the understanding they had at the time. For example, when there was a storm, they believed that Zeus was upset at them for something they had done. Or, when they lost a battle, they would blame someone for upsetting Ares and causing him to fight with the other side against them. Basically, it gave them someone to blame or praise for the events that happened in their life that they couldn't otherwise explain.

Sparta had the largest area after it conquered the southern Peloponnese, while Athens had limited land in Attica, until it created an empire for 50 years of the GREEK cities in the eastern Aegean Sea littoral.

it is like a semi-circle, dome like shape.

American should Study ancient greece because our forefathers got most of our goverment from them

They were very similar. Romans based their culture, gods, language, and fighting styles off of Ancient Greece, including in terms of the position of women in society, geography and the ramifications of geographical differences, and government.

It had limited land and sustained itself with trade with the Greek cities in Asia Minor, the Black Sea and Sicily.

It founded the cities of Byzantium and Chalcedon in the east and Megara Hyblaea in Sicily.

Greek gods have eternal life

And their handsomeness and beauty is forever

They are hard headed

In the Republican period the Romans produced the best portrait sculpture (busts) there has ever been. It was a strictly Roman art and it was very realistic. In the fist and second centuries AD they produced sublime and accurate replicas of Greek sculptures by great Greek sculptors. Some of these are displayed at the Vatican Museums.

The goddess of art in ancient Greece

LOL FAIL

Athena is the goddess of art in ancient Greece, an athene is a Greek citizen.

The Ancient Greeks had a balanced medical system.

They believed that the gods made you ill, but they also believed in more logical medicines is well.

The main one is the Theory Of The Four Humours, Phlegm, Black Bile Yellow Bile and Blood.

When you became Ill, it meant that one of your four humours was out of balance, so you either had too much phlegm or too much yellow bile.

If you had a a fever it was down to too much yellow bile- this would be treated with its opposite, phlegm, so the doctor would prescribe cold baths.

A cold- too much phlegm, this is treated with opposites too, so the doctor would prescribe warm beds and wine.

As you can see this was an incorrect, yet logical way of thinking.

However they did also believe that the gods made you ill.

Asclepios was the god of medicine.

If you were ill, say you had flu then you would be sent to an asclepius temple where you would stay until you were healed.

It is said that while staying there in a vision Asclepios (the god) and his two daughters (Panacea and Hygieia) would visit them in the night, they would bring with them snakes that would crawl all over you. Once awakening the patient would be cured.

People who stayed there, engraved in to slabs of stone their story of how they got better. They all believe it was the work of Asclepios.

However many historians now believe that it was because of the fresh air and exercise that came with the stay at Asclepios's temple.

Ancient Greece (specifically, Athens) practiced Direct Democracy. There was no president, nor were there governmental representatives. The people voted directly on the issues themselves rather than having representatives in government.

Monarchy, followed by Oligarchy, followed by Tyranny, followed by Democracy, followed by all the above.

People worship for many reasons. Usually it's for the following reasons:

Tradition (ex: "I was raised this way.")

History of effectiveness (ex: "I worshiped in this manner and associated a subsequent occurrence as a sign of the god's power")

Introduction of the religion by contact with an outside culture (ex: "I learned this from people who have brought these gods with them.")

Zeus is no different. It is commonly considered that the worship of Zeus came to Greece from a people referred to as the Indo-Europeans.

Yes they could Because the Athens couldn't only except for the men does that answer your question?!?!

There is litttle information about Aesop in records that still exist from his lifetime, and none of them mention anything about any famiy he may have had.

Nothing! Men were the only ones allowed in the Olympics and they would only exercize naked even though it would suprise foreigners, it meant they would compete only naked. Gee whiz!

Because they appeal to the human soul no matter what time period.

• Athens' dominance of the Greek world was shattered. It lost its empire and the tribute it exacted therefrom, so its financial superiority and consequently maintain the largest war fleet collapsed. In the short term it went through a period of internal political instability.
• Sparta became the dominant power for three decades until this was broken by Thebes, after which is was not a major player.
• The Greek world suffered great destruction, which allowed Persia to have a dominating say in Greek affairs.
• Macedonia progressively improved its position until it became dominant, with Philip and then his son Alexander becoming Hegemon of Greece. From this platform, the destruction of the Persian Empire was launched, and Hellenisation was extended in the east.
• After Alexander's death most of the Greek and Persian worlds were partitioned between Alexander's generals as Hellenistic kingdoms which spread Greek culture through the Middle East. These kingdoms lasted until absorbed into the expanding Roman Empire in the 2nd and 1st Centuries BCE.
