Ancient Greece

In ancient Greece music was very important. Music was a part of education in ancient Greece, boys were taught music at age six.

In ancient Greece, mixed-gender choruses performed for entertainment, celebration and spiritual reasons. Instruments included the double-reed aulos and the plucked string instrument, the lyre, especially the special kind called a kithara.

The doric columns in Greek architecture are typically baseless, fluted, and with a smooth transition to the abacus (wider, square supporting structure above the column). Roman doric columns included a wider base and often beveled top moldings.

Ares was the ancient Greek god of war. Athena on the other hand, was the goddess of wisdom and war strategy.

This is a question open to debate. Zeus was considered the head of the gods. Yet Poseidon had the power of the sea which was very important to the Greeks. Greece is made of many islands and the Greeks needed to travel by sea and fish for food. Poseidon could get angry and flood the land and had many sea monsters. Zeus had only his lightning bolts.

The orchestra puts the drama in the Greek Theatre.

Well, For a start, They used weapons such as Spears and short swords and wore heavy metal plate armor, and hoplom shields (A large round shield)

The wars of ancient Greece were fought out with hundreds or thousands of men, both a foot and on mounts, against other large armies, N.B Most armies of these eras did not have females in them.

The hopolites, whom I mentioned earlier would form a large phalanx, Where the link shields and create an impregnible barrier of shields.

And the Cavarly used swift stratigic agility to sley its enemies.

Another major difference is that our wars are fought from a far, where as in ancient Greece, it was blood splattering and blades swinging from only metres away.

Another Difference is wars back then were fought in waves.

Unlike ars now, A battle would not just be charging in a fighting till death, as many believe, but a unit will charge then retreat then charge then retreat, This gives them the advantage of the charge several times.

Another difference is wars back then included blood curliong sieges, Where an army surrounds a city stopping anything getting in our out, and this slowly straved the enemy and gave them disease.

So to cover your question in one sentence. "The main difference of wars now and ancient Greece, is that back then it was a much more physical scary gruesome scenario."

Some ancient Greeks had shops mainly in their central market place (the Agora) where they sold any items they did not want. The Agora is a marketplace/ meeting place where a lot of the ancient Greeks went to, to meet other people and buy stuff.

I have an ongoing issue with my bladder or uninary track. The best way to describe it at first was that I was getting performance anxiety while having to urinate in a public restroom or leaving a urine sample while being filmed at my methadone clinic twice a week. I had no problem doing this for a long time, then all of a sudden around a year ago I would not be able to void my bladder no matter how long I wait or tried while I was in these situations. As much as it sucked, I managed it for about six months until it started happening at home. But it this case when everything seized up, there was no external factor that should have done this. The first time it happened I woke up in the middle of the night and could urinate. I stood there for 30 minutes and then had to call and ambulance and be catheterized in the hospital. The second time it happen in the late afternoon with the sample ending. To make a long story short this happened 8 times over three months! At which point I finally got an appointment to get a cystoscopy and see a Urologist. But, disappointingly the test came back completely clear... The only reason they could give me was that the muscles around the urinary track seize up due to anxiety or randomly and they put me on FlowMax to remedy this. It worked for about one month and then everything start happening again. And last night I was at the hospital again getting another catheter put in. This is honestly ruining my life and I can't keep managing this. The catheters are getting very painful, and the constant hospital visits are taking their toll.

I need help.

One thing to consider is that about six month prior to this starting. I was taken off my prescription of Clonazepam, which greatly helped reduce my anxiety. I remember though when I had to urine sample a few times in the past and my prescription had run out, this exact thing happened. Now I know the easy answer is just get a new prescription of that. But I moved to a new town and I dont have a psych here and the waiting list in Sudbury, Ontario is years long. Plus, recently laws are making those types of medications much harder to get prescribed. So, I don't think that is a realistic way to manage this.

Please if anyone has seen this or knows anything let me know.

Thank you.

"Poly" means many, and "mono" means one. So, did the Greeks worship only 1 god, or did they worship many?

They sent Pheidippedes to run to Sparta to ask them to come (round trip 120 miles, he hallucinated on the way back and died). The Spartans were in the middle of a religious ceremony when he arrived, and said they would come as soon as it was over. When it was, they did the 60 miles to Athens in a day, but missed the battle, marched on to view the dead, came back and congratulated the Athenians and went home. The Athenians also asked the Plataians for help. A small city, it turned out 1,000 to add to the Athenian 9,000, and fought well. Athens always looked after little Plataia's welfare afterwards. Some stories say that Pheidippedes ran to Athens after the battle to let them know that the Athenians had won, so that they wouldn't surrender the city to the Persians. He is said to have gasped out his message to the cities leaders before collapsing and dying. As Pheidippides was dead by the time of the battle of Marathon, he would have had difficulty in running off to bring tidings of the battle. In fact, it was the whole Athenian army which ran the 26 miles over the hills to Athens. They had seen the Persian cavalry being embarked before the battle, and guessed that it was sailing around the peninsula to Athens to gallop up and occupy the city, whose gates would be opened for them by the Hippias faction. The Athenian infantry would then have been locked out, and harrassed from the rear by the Persian infantry. The Athenian infantry got there just in time, forming up in front of the city as the Persian cavalry was disembarking. The Persians, frustrated, and with their infantry force defeated earlier, went home.

The Agora in Athens was important because it was the center of Athenian democracy. It was a gathering place for the lawmakers and citizens. The architecture of the Agora is also significant. It also had many different kinds of Greek foods.

Phillip II of Macedonia conquered Greece; then when he was killed, his son took over. Alexander the Great expanded his empire from the Nile River to the Indus River and then after his rule of only 12 years the empire was split up into Egypt, Syria, Pergamon and Macedonia, with many city-states independent. city-states went back to being independent.

not sure but im guessing they had to pray or make a sacrification to the messenger god while they were traveling to keep them safe. another answer here from someone else i don't know this guy is right but I'll find out soon.

gymnastics,water technology ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The steam engine was invented by Heron, an ancient Greek geometer (mathmatecian who specialized in geometry) and engineer from Alexandria. Dikaiarch of Messina (350-290 BC) a Greek geographer introduces to the map making world the notion of latitude and longitude. There are many other inventions, sech as the water screw by Archimedes, which would move water upward or downward in a corkscrew motion.

The Greek City-states in Asia Minor rebelled against persian rule. The persians put it down over six years, but the Greek mainland city-states of Eretria and Athens intervened, causing Persian attempts at retribution afterwards.

Greek nomads, having completely looted the area of mainland Greece, had to settle on the land and farm to get subsistence. The different tribes which took the limited farming areas between the mountains each set up a defensive fortress on a mountain which grew into a city, and so city-states were formed.

Being great breeders, they overpopulated their limited land an sent out the surplus people to seize new land and form new cities for themselves. This was first to the east around the Aegean Sea, but later spread to the west as far as Sicily, Italy, North Africa and Spain, all up about two thousand independent ciy-states.

it's Polis because there was no Greek word for city

Worked in the house and the farm, supervised the household slaves, bore and reared children, attended women's religious ceremonies.

There were of course other classes of women - courtesans, servants, slaves etc.

Depends what you mean by both terms. In Greek mythology, Hades was the place of the dead. Inside Hades there were three sections. 1. Elysia, where heroes enjoyed a blissful existence (like Heaven). 2. Tartarus, where the truly wicked would suffer and where the Titans were imprisoned by the Olympians (like Hell). 3. Asphodel, an in between place for the majority of humanity, which was unpleasant but not terrible like Tartarus. (like Limbo).

Actuall its more like: Heaven was Elysium. The River Styx and Wall of Erebos where more like limbo. The Fields of Punishment was Purgatory. And of course Tartarus was hell. As you said Asphodel was also like limbo. Now Isle of the Blest is different. There is no relation between it and any of the Christian beliefs. Also the book "The Odyssey" written by the Greek poet Homer mentons heaven and hell. It also mentions the Underworld (which Odysseus travels to) and Mount Olympus.so the anciet Greeks had many different views. Since both terms appear in anciet writtings.

There are many industrial products that come from Greece. Some of these products include plastic piping, cosmetics, power stations, pharmaceuticals, and drip irrigation systems.

For murder, one is sentenced to death. If one has created a serious feud they shall be put on a rope by the neck for one hour so everyone can see the trouble they caused.

the rivalry between Sparta and Athens

The ancient Greeks who were higher up in society used to wear things called togas. These were basically sheets wrapped draped round them and then kept in place by a pin. Poorer people would just wear tunics, a sort of dress, with a cord around their waists to stop it from flying up! Hope this helps. :)
