Ancient Greece

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.

The physical features of Greece affected its city-states immensly. People who came to live and build the city-states worked around the physical features. The main affect was protection. It was all about war and protection those days.

Homer was a famous poet and philosopher who wrote The Iliad and The Odyssey. Both stores involved the Trojan War.

They used wood for the walls, flooring and for the door. sand was also importantthey would use it for the bottom level for their houses. They would also use stone for their sidewalks.

They probably developed because of how isolated each community was because of the mountains in Greece.

they used their letters. Alpha was 1, Beta was 2, Gamma was 3, et cetera

You're lying. I betcha don't even know Greek, do ya? Alpha isn't one. Beta isn't two. Gamma isn't 3. You're not even spelling it right with your American accents and letters. Just go to a Greek school, like I did, or buy a Rosetta Stone if you're that intrested.

It's just like Jesus being really important to Christians, and Buddha being very important to Asians. Religion and Culture. They have made themselves something to believe in and worship. The stories they have made up are phenomenal.

The Greek city-states of mainland Greece sent out their surplus populations to fend for themselves by establishing new cities around the Mediterranean and Black Seas - a couple of thousand cities, ranging from such city-states as Massilia (today's Marseilles in France), Syracuse in Sicily, Neapolis (New City, today's Naples in Italy), to Tripolis (Three Cities, today's Tripoli in Libya), to Miletus in Asia Minor and Tanais in southern Russia.

The times known to us by record list four occasions:

In the seventh century the old temple was destroyed by a flood.

The Temple of Artemis at Ephesus was destroyed on July 21, 356 BC in an act of arson committed by His Name To Oblivion *(Herostratus)*.

The temple was restored after Alexander's death, in 323 BC. This reconstruction was itself destroyed during a raid by the Goths, an East Germanic tribe, in 268, in the time of emperor Gallienus.

In 401, the temple in its last version was finally destroyed by a mob led by St. John Chrysostom, and the stones were used in construction of other buildings.

Nothing. A person can not have something in common with a poli, a city-state. However, Alexander united the polis. Oh, and polis is the plural.

The Athenians would have had a Persian-appointed tyrant to govern them, they would in due course have expelled the tyrant as they had done before, and the Greek city-states would have continued fighting each other as was their custom.

All wars were paused during the olympic games in ancient Greece.

The extremely warm climate ofÊthe summers in Greece forced them to wear very light weight fabrics. The Greek's wore tunics made of linens and whenÊthe weather got cooler they just put a cloak over their tunic.

Ancient Greece believed in a polytheism religion.

Alexander's empire extended to Indus River.

famous greek Plato lived in Greece with the Athens.

The encounter with Maron shows that ancient Greeks held a sacred view of hospitality, it was very important to them. The Odyssey was written by Homer.

Ancient Aegae (Modern Vergina) was the first capital of Macedonia. It was subsequently moved to Pella. Under Roman occupation, the capital was moved to Thessaloniki. When Macedonia was liberated in 1912 from the Ottoman occupation Thessaloniki was retained as the capital.
