Athens was evacuated without a fight in 480 BCE as the Persians advanced. A small foce of diehards on the Acropolis was captures, the remainder fought alongside the other southern Greek forces in the navy and army.

They reoccupied their city after the Persian defeat in 479 BCE and rebuilt the destroyed and looted parts. They also built better walls to defend the city and its port, which came in good stead not against Persians but rather the other Greek cities in the Peloponnesian War fifty years later.

There are four famous ancient Greek playwrights. Sophocles is the most famous writer of tragedies; his Oedipus Rex is one of the world's most famous plays. Euripides is also a very famous tragedian who wrote several plays including Hippolytus, Bacchae, Alcestis and one of his most famous, Medea. Aeschylus was a third famous tragedian. The most famous comic writer was Aristophanes, famous for his plays The Birds and The Frogs and the utterly hilarious and still topical Lysistrata.

It's ambitious king Philip II, by a mixture of conquest, bribery and political deals, established dominance of the Greek world. After his assassination, his son Alexander took over his father's project of conquering the Persian Empire.

The Greeks provided the general foundation for observational astronomy in western cultures. The western hemisphere uses their names and mythology for constellations (for the most part).

The Greeks also observed planetary motion, naming them after the gods.

Aristotle, a greek philosopher, laid down various tenets about the natural world that were studied and upheld for nearly two thousand years before the rise of modern science demonstrated them as inadequate and inaccurate.

Most cultures have their own constellations, observations and mathematics that overlap the Greeks. However the Greek ties with Rome, and the rise of the Roman Empire made their contributions the most prominent in the western hemisphere.

The Greeks, by observing the earths shadow on the moon, and way ships disappear over the horizon of the ocean, determined that the earth was round. One significant contribution that Greeks provided was observations by Aristarchus (~300 BC) estimated (fairly accurately) the diameter of the earth by using shadows cast down a well in two different cities.

Both were strictly ruled - Sparta was a limited democracy, Athens for a time became a radical democracy. Spartan citizens devoted their time to military training as they had a serf population to support them, Athenians did part-time military training only as they had to earn a living.

His name was Pericles

Hippocrates is referred to as the father of western medicine. His oath, the Hippocratic Oath is taken by all western medical professionals. In it they promise to provide quality care, and first of all to do no harm to their patients.

In Greece of ancient times, many great philosophers existed. That did not mean that ordinary people did not also exist. Not all were Aristotles and Platos.

the most celebrated was the festival of athens

In ordinary peasant houses the fireplace was bricked around on three sides and placed either in the roofless kitchen or outside in a courtyard, many people also had a clay oven for baking bread. Cooking inside an enclosed room would have been extremely hot, smelly and smoky so it would not have been sensible.

Fuel was most often dried dung (both animal and human) because of the shortage of suitable wood in Egypt; dried grass, brushwood and vegetable waste were also burned.

There were many leaders in the golden age of Athens. This 'golden age' was where everything seemed to be going well between Sparta and Athens. They had just defeated the dreaded Persian Army, and had signed a treaty with Sparta to protect Greece from future Persian attacks. The win went to Athens's head and they thought they were unstoppable.

This leaded to war between Sparta and Athens, as they both wanted to lead over all of Ancient Greece. They were the two biggest super powers on Earth; war was definitely going to happen.

Athens was lead by many people in their golden age, these leaders were what helped Athens stay on top for an amount of time. They had some very foolish leaders, some who did not contribute anything to Athens, but some were very good leaders in both war and their people. I hope this helped you. thank you.

europ history

Themistocles.

It's basic problem started when Pericles died early in the Peloponnesian War which he had led Athens into. His self-promoting successors led the people in assembly voles to commit to actions which ended in their defeat and loss of the empire which Pericles had helped them establish. The city had to revert to more conservative government than the radical democracy to survive.

Yes, he proved himself in the field leading Athenian forces in several battles. He was also a good strategist who, at the beginning of the 27 year war withe the Peloponnesian alliance laid down rules that Athens would defend thir city walls and harrass the opposition with its fleey from this secure base.

This worked for a few years until Pericles died. His successors deviated from this policy into adventurous actions and eventually lost the war. We don't know if Pericles would have been more succssful had he lived.

It was Greek nature to be territorial and combative. They fought themselves and others throughout their history. In particular, they fought the Persians in two wars in the early fifth century B.C.E. (490 and 480) and then sparked a Greek "world" war between Athens and Sparta in the late fifth century (432-404 B.C.E.).

Women were treated differently in different regions and poles (city states), though always considered inferior to men. In Athens they were very limited, and women of nobility were basically just emprisonned in their houses. Ordinary women were allowed to go outside to fetch water from public springs. In Sparta women were honored because they gave birth to new soldiers for the polis, and had several rights Athenian women did not have, they could own private property for example, and were usually managing everything cause their men folk were always off to war. SO it depends on the region and the polis.

As typical to most Greek art, art during the Golden Age of Athens reflected the Greek ideals of perfection, balance, and strength. The kind of art at the time is known at Classical Art. Sculptures of the time have relaxed posture, arms away from the body, and usually hold something or are in the process of doing something. Their faces are smooth and relaxed, and show little emotion.
