Ancient Greece

Athens pioneered democratic self-rule, but it was different from today's representative democracy. It was direct democracy where the adult male citizens met in fortnightly assembly and decided on issues of governance and politics - the council carried out its decisions.

Democracy comes from the Greek words meaning 'people power'.

In today's representative democracy elected members of parliament direct governance, and are far less attuned to what their people really want until it comes time for new election promises in order to get re-elected.

What we describe today as a mythology, by which we mean a connected series of fantasies that are traditionally told in a given culture (much like the concept of fairy tales, except that mythology tells a more unified overall story than fairy tales do) was originally a religion. People believed in the pantheon of Greek gods, Zeus and Apollo and Bacchus and Hera and so forth, as actual gods whom they worshipped and prayed to. This religion goes back many thousands of years, and was already an ancient religion at the time it was replaced by the more recent religion of Christianity. There is no guarantee that some future society will not regard Christianity as a mythology (indeed, the late Isaac Asimov has already stated that the bible should be regarded as Jewish mythology).

There were scores of city-states in mainland Greece - some obvious ones are Argos, Athens, Corinth, Delphi, Epidaurus, Eretria, Lamia, Laodicea, Megara, Plataia, Sparta, Tegea, Thebes.

Aegeus killed himself because he thought he lost his son, Theseus. Theseus traveled to Crete to defeat the Minotaur and told his father that if he returned victorious he would have a white sail. However Ariadne cursed Theseus and the gods caused Theseus to forget to raise his white sail. Aegeus saw a ship with a black sail and thinking that his son was dead he threw himself off a cliff.

They believed that the question was more important than the answers because if you question anything. exaple question Einstein's theory or a religion's flaws, you'll be able to find a better logical solution

Two ways the sea influenced early greeks and their societies were to fish or to build boats. The second way was so others sailed across the sea to trade goods with other lands

A sop to Cerberus is a bribe given to a distract or appease a person who may cause trouble. This is derived from the Vergil's Aeneid.

Both ancient Greek and Roman civilisation are divided into two categories, archaic (the early days) and classical, the latter referring to the period when these two civilisations reached their cultural and political heights They have been called classical civilisations because they have been considered to be the two civilisations which have laid the foundation of European culture and civilisation.

Euripides was the most intellectual poet of his time. He wrote many plays. He's known for reshaping the formal structure of Athenian tragedy by portraying strong female characters and intelligent slaves. He also humanized and popularized Greek tragedy and was responsible for bringing tragedy closer to the experience of ordinary citizens.

The geography of Greece caused the Greeks to be sea traders in many ways. For a few ways I think u should read my report. In one one case Greece is surrounded by water on three sides. That means Greece is a pininsula. Another way is that if they needed resources they could easily just go up 2 Shqiperia. But if they needed things they didnt have any other choice but 2 go and look towards the sea. And on the c they could also fish so if I was in Greece I would look towards the c.

The slave was Aesop, who was credited as being the author of Aesop's Fables or the Aesopica.

Yes there was a social class system in Ancient Greece but it was not a rigid class system. Every society has a class system. Today society is measured by wealth (and sometimes fame). The President is not in a different class system than Bill Gates, but they are both in a different class system than us. Greece being a warrior society ment that women also had many powers. In Sparta, for example, young boys were sent to training at the age of 7 and only returned at age 30. They received very high honors for diying in battle, and this same honor was given to women who died in child birth. (This says alot about their class system). Specifically, there were the coulcil of elders which concisted of men above the age of 60.
