A Spartan warrior was told to return from war?
Newabortion006 "A soldier was a hero if he came back from battle with his shield. If he was alive, it meant he was victorious. If he died and was carried back upon his shield, he was a hero for having fought courageously. If he came back without his shield, however, it meant that he must have fled the battle, and he would be shunned by Spartan society."

The Delian League began as a alliance to?
Protect the Greek city-states around the Aegean Sea from Persian rule.
They built them when they originally began to ocupy the area of the eastern Mediterranean three thousand years ago. At first they were built of wood, but in the mid 1st Millennium BCE they switched to stone. These stone temples were built in the Greek cities around the Mediterranean and Black Seas thereafter over the next millennium.
What body of water did the ancient Greeks and ancient Romans use for travel and trade?
I would say the Mediterranean Sea, because you could easily travel anywhere in the known world on it back then, and both Rome and Greece were world powers. It also served as a huge trade route.
Is ancient Greece democracy or republic?
YES, Greece was certainly under a Democracy in 405BC. At this time the Pelopannesian War [431 - 404BC] was coming to an end, and Athens [Greece] suffered a defeat in the battle of Aegospotami against Lysander [Sparta]. Also by this time the Spartan King Pausanias had laid seige to Athens and Lysander's fleet had set up a blockade at Piraeus. This effectively closed the grain route to Athens, and it's population began to starve. 404BC Athens capitulates and is forced to negotiate the terms of its surrender to Sparta. Then began the year of Anarchy or The Rule of the 30 Tyrants.

What describes the contribution of Eratosthenes?
Euclid was the 'father' of Geometry (the mathematics concerning the Earth) and his work remained the basis of geometry for more than 2,000 years.
Eratosthenes also was active in this field and his claim to fame is that he was the first to almost exactly calculate the circumference of the Earth and the exact tilt of the axis of the Earth (so since the time of the ancient Greeks it was known that the Earth was round and all stories that Columbus' sailors were afraid that they might fall off the rim are bogus).
Archimedes is considered one the greatest geniuses of all time in the field of Mathematics. He is the man of "Eureka!" fame, the father of modern calculus, of the principle of buoyancy of objects in water, he invented the block-and-tackle system stil used today to hoist sails and heavy objects and he invented the "Archimedes screw" still used today in factories.

They moved into Europe as nomands, looting the peoples who had previously settled there. When there was nothing left to loot they had to settle down and grow their own food and wealth.

They also spread their surplus populations around the Mediterranean and Black Seas, eatablishing about 2000 city-states, which might have been all-powerful in the region but for their habitual warring amongst each other, which so weakened them that they presented an easy target for first Macedonia, and then later Rome.

The ancient Greeks were the people of Greece and who migrated from Greece to other parts of the Mediterranean, including Cyprus, Crete, Asia Minor, Sicily, and especially Southern Italy, where they carried on Greek culture. They spoke a language that was, and is, its own branch of the Indo-European Languages. They were important in the development of politics, law, philosophy, mathematics, and a host of other intellectual pursuits. They were profoundly influential on European culture.
There were several distinct clearly important periods in ancient Greek history, the first being the Mycenaean civilization, which lasted from about 1600 to 1100 BC, and the second being classical Greece, from had its origins in about 800 BC, and its flowering from about 500 to the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC. This was followed by the Hellenistic Era, when Greek influence produced Hellenistic empires and Kingdoms in Egypt and Asia. Finally, Greece was conquered by the Romans, became the center of the East Roman Empire, and developed into the medieval Roman Empire, which we call the Byzantine Empire today.
