This was one of the first civilazations to have no human sacrafices to the gods and to have scholars and playwrights. It was in the ancient city of Athens that logic was born. Ancient Greece was not just the glory of ancient civilization, it was the begging of western civilization, where the hypothetical flame first started burning because it was one of the first modern civilazations.

The Olympics originated in Olympia, Greece. The Greeks, especially Spartans, valued this event so much that wars were sometimes postponed for months at a time to ensure the safety of travelers who were coming to see the games.

The plays were beginning in the morning and lasting until the evening. So there was no need for artificial lighting. The theater was more like public school for the citizens, rather than amusement.

The Greek city-states were in constant hostility between themselves. There were brief periods of solidity under foreign invasion, and shifting alliances between groups of cities, but warfare was normal.

The Hellenic civilization began in continental Europe. The Minoans were not Hellenes.

According to many historians and archaeologists, there is no evidence supporting that of an actual Trojan Horse - a hollow horse with men inside of it - aside from what is available to us in various stories and poems. Many historians disagree on what the "horse" may have been and theories reign from a battering ram to an earthquake that would have left the walls of Troy weakened and easily destroyed in a battle.

There are many different sides to the debate, however, three positions seems to have been most commonly taken. For example, one explanation for the establishment of the Greek polis in the 623 and 709 centuries B.C.E is based on the geography of the ancient Greek empire and the population pressure during this time of the 7th and 8th centuries B.C.E. "With the country being composed of mountains, islands, and small farming valleys, this naturally caused division of the people into discrete, small population centers with their own language and religious groups" (Flensted-Jensen190). This harsh geography of rugged mountains and islands caused the polis to develop independently of one another, because they were isolated
