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.

Homer was one of the greatest (blind) story tellers during 1200 B.C, He wrote epics celebrating heroic deeds.

Pericles had guided Athens into a war with the Peloponnesian League which was led by Sparta. He was confident that the walls of Athens and its superior navy, financed by the empire which Athens had created, would prevail.

Two years later Pericles died of a plague which engulfed the Athenians penned up in an unhealthy environment within the city walls. Subsequent populist leaders led the people into risky deviations from his plan, and after another disastrous 25 years of war, Athens surrendered and was stripped of its empire, becoming a second class power.

The sea battle which it was designed to precipitate, having failed, the reason for holding the land pass ceased. The Spartan commander sent his supporting citiy contingents off to seek the protection of friendly city walls, and to give them a clean break, continued to hold the pass with his 300-strong badoguard and 2,000 light infantry. They died in securing the safety of their allies.
The Spartan sacrifice of The Three Hundred held up the Persian advance long enough for the various city-states to coalesce a unified resistance. The Athenian Fleet destroyed the Persian Fleet at Salamis, forcing the Persians to retreat overland, subjected to guerrilla raids until all the armies, under Spartan leadership, joined together to crush the Persians at Plataea.

No, he operated east from Greece to today's Pakistan, south to Egypt. He planned to later go west to take Sicily and Carthage, but died before he could try.

There are about four different seas not oceans around Greece. These seas are, the Aegean Sea, Sea of Crete, Mediterranean Sea, and the Ionian Sea. Visit the link below for an example of a map. http://www.nationalgeographic.com/xpeditions/atlas/index.html?Parent=europe&Rootmap=greece&Mode=b

No! No! No! coffee was introduced into Europe by the Ottoman Turks in the 17th century AD

In ancient times, the blending of the Greek and Eastern cultures that was powerfully effected by Alexander the Great's conquests has come to be known as the Hellenistic Age. This blending dominated the Mediterranean Basin for several hundred years until Rome's conquests ushered in a new cultural age.

The Ancient Greeks have brought really important weapons to us, such as the catapult. They also invented one of the most common used fromat in history, GOVERNMENT! Ancient Greeks are not the people that have created most of the important things in this world, but Ancient Egyptians have. BTW some people could not afford wheat in Greece so they would eat bread, but with barley with it.

When it turned the anti-Persian league which it led into an empire of its own, it directed the war funds it mulcted from the other cities for its own purposes, beautified the city and encouraged cultural, philosophic and scientific practitioners from around the Greek world to practice in Athens, shifting these activities from the Ionian cities where they had flourished previously.

The ancient Greeks only let men whose parents were ALL Greek, no other nationality. Women, children, slaves, and anyone whose parents weren't ALL Greek were NOT alowed to vote (pretty picky people!).

Both the theological myths and the arts of ancient Greek peoples reveal much about their lives, values, and beliefs. The god-centered myths, for instance, reveal that the Greeks saw themselves as part of a larger drama in which great rewards and great punishments, great evils and great goods, were at play. For its part, Greek artwork reflects both confidence in the human ability to understand and to affect its role in the world and, at the same time, a simple desire to behold, express, and enjoy life's beauty, power, and even mystery.

It depends on the minor god or goddess, there are the six thousand sons and daughters of the Titan Oceanus to count as fresh water goddesses and river gods.

It should be noted that every god or goddess in Greece did not have a symbol or sacred animal. Many of them were personifications of abstract ideas that wouldn't be well represented any other way.
