Ancient Greek theatre was designed as an art form: Tragedy--the stories of the deaths of heroes and gods, the wars that were fought, and romance.

And of course, comedy--the tellings of funny, and humorous events and made-up stories and myths.

Myths, in general, were made up to explain why certain things work the way that they do and are the way they are. They also tell stories with morals behind them, such as King Midas..he had The "GOLDEN TOUCH"...the moral behind this particular story is be careful what you wish for .because he wished he was wealthy and that everything he touched would turn to gold, he could not hold his brand new baby, and when he did , he turned it to gold.

anywho, that is why greek theatre was designed how it was.

Phillip II of Macedon was assassinated by one of his bodyguards, an man named Pausanias of Orestes. Pausanias was then killed by other bodyguards.

The reason for the assasination is debated by historians, there are many theories; but none of them have much historical evidence to support them.

One was Socrates, a philosophically ingenious man who taught children in Athens, and was eventually imprisoned and killed by his enemies. Another was Lycurgus, who reformed the constitution of Sparta to make the populace less idle and capable of amazing military achievements. A third was Achilles. Achilles was the Greek hero of the Trojan War. He didn't fight for a long while during the war, but when he did, he killed masses of Trojans, finishing with Prince Hector. As retribution for his brother's death, Prince Paris shot Achilles with a poisoned arrow, which killed him.

We don't know. The best estimate includes the Spartans lost about 2,300 and the Thespians 1,400 in their last ditch stand to let the other Greek contingents escape. There were other Greek losses.

The Persians lost about 20,000.

running

EDIT:

There was no main sport thay just played all the sports that existed.

The modern Olympic Games were started in 1894 when Pierre Fredi, Baron de Coubertin wanted to have an international understanding through sporting competition. I think the olympic games are cool to watch.

I am a differrent person then the ones who mad and edited it. The Olympics are dangerous, someone died in training. And training is usually so much work. What's wrong with just watching sports?

Also the olympic games was made up to train the army for war.

There are two forms of modern Greek; one is the language spoken by Greeks everyday, the other is a more "formal" Greek, still used for formal occasions, which is closer to ancient Greek - although not the same.

So no, neither forms of modern Greek is the same as ancient Greek.

I' m afraid i have to correct you, my friend. This doesn't occure anymore in Greece. It used to happen too many years before, but not now. Modern Greek is one language and it' s the language that modern Greeks speak and write either in formal or informal occasions.

Now to answer to the main question, i have to say that the ancient Greek language have changed so much during the centuries that a modern Greek have to study it in order to understand it. Of course, one can read it and understand many words, but in order to conceive the exact meaning of the ancient texts, some studies are needed.

He was the first person to discover the existence of atoms in the 4th century B.C.

the Parthenon in the acropolis. it had a massive golden-plated statue of her (as Athena Nike) inside

Immediately after development, Delphi became one of the most reliable software programs that could be used to accurately evaluate the electrostatic potentials of macromolecules. As input, Delphi accepts Pdb files.

The two types of theater are comedy and tragedy. In general the comedy has the hero live at the end and tragedy has the hero die at the end.

The Pelopnnesian War weakened the major Greek states and ruined any possibility of cooperation among them. Later after the war, Macedonia took used the Greek states weaknesses to their advantage.

Alexander III of the ancient Greek kingdom of Macedonia also known as Alexander the Great.

Two thousand years later? Not at all.

The American military was initially influenced in the 18th Century by its European allies and enemies - Britain and France.

In World War 1 they were trained in Britain and France by the British, Australian and Canadian armies.

A town was built in the middle of an agricultural area, often on the coast with a port. The town developed and became the centre of political, commercial and social life and was walled as protection to which the farmers could tae refuge in times of threat.

I think they conquered neighboring land. Hope that helps :)

The ancient Greeks still influence us today by giving us their ideas of trial by jury, Greek myths, Democracy, tragedy and comedy, theater, the Olympics, marathons, architecture, and an alphabet with vowels.


Feel free to expand on my list.

His name is Autolycus of Pitane.

Aesop never wrote down any of the tales himself; he merely recited them orally. The first recorded mention of his life came about a hundred years after he died, in a work by the eminent Greek historian Herodotus, who noted that he was a slave of one Iadmon of Samos and died at Delphi. In the first century C.E., Plutarch, another Greek historian, also speculated on Aesop's origins and life. Plutarch placed Aesop at the court of immensely weighty Croesus, the king of Lydia (now northwestern Turkey). A source from Egypt dating back to this same century also described Aesop as a slave from the Aegean island of Samos, near the Turkish mainland. The source claims that after he was released from bondage he went to Babylon. Aesop has also been referred to as Phrygian, pointing to origins in central Turkey settled by Balkan tribes around 1200 B.C.E. They spoke an Indo-European language and their communities were regularly raided for slaves to serve in Greece.

He didn't invade Greece - he sent a punitive expedition against Athens and Eretria, both of which had supported the uprising of Miletus in Asia Minor against Persian rule. In the process, the Athenian and Eretrian forces had burnt the provincial Persian capital of Sardis. After the partial failure of this punitive expedition of 490 BCE against Eretria (captured, inhabitants enslaved) and Athens (turned back at Marathon), Darius determined to bring mainland Greece within his empire. As the mainland cities had been supporting revolts by other Greek cities within his empire (not only Athens and Eretria), he thought that, by absorbing mainland Greece, he would establish an ethnic frontier in the west. He therefore determined to bring whatever cities he could under his rule peacefully (by bribes, and promise to make a faction in a city to be rulers under his rule, ie puppets). Those who resisted would be captured, and puppet rulers imposed on them. He was temporarily diverted by an uprising in Egypt, and then died without launching the expedition. His son Xerxes began to carry it out in 480 BCE.

In the army, discipline and loyalty had collapsed. Soldiers gave their loyalty not to Rome but to their commander, who fought among themselves for the throne. To defend against the increasing threats to the empire, the government began to recruit mercenaries, foreign soldiers who fought for money. While mercenaries would accept lower pays than Roman, they felt little sense of loyalty to the Empire.
