Ancient Greece

There are a number of Greek Achievements. In arts , sculptures of Phidias, and the Parthenon are the prominent achievements. In sports, it would be the Olympic games. Other areas of achievements include political science, poetry, mathematics, science and history.

YES! the Athenian navy was very strong but only because they had a strong back bone. This "backbone" was their strongest and best ship the trireme. The trireme had a simple but affective job, it was to ram into the other boats with their battering ram on the bow of their boat. They would ram the same boat continuously until the other boat sank.

The oldest recordes the Olympics was recorded in 776 BCE.

Ancient Greek rowing ships were called galleys.

It gave all power to the adult male citizens who met fortnightly in assembly to make laws and direct a council to carry out its wishes.

They borrowed Stoicism

There are many answers to this question. Rome took the idea of trial by jury of one's peers, from the Greeks (specifically Athens). Rome also took the idea that decisions can and should be made by what we now call, an electorate; a body of people who have the right to vote on proposed laws, administrative actions, and state policy. Rome used the idea of citizenship, which was created by the Greeks, to expand the republican empire, and reduce civil strife among the people it had conquered. Also, while Rome did not explicitly take this last practice, Rome did utilize a watered down form. In Athens, there was a practice called ostracism, where every year, the Athenians would vote on who they thought was too popular, irresponsible, and most likely to try to harm the Athenian Democracy, and the person who gained the most votes, was exiled from Athens. In Rome, exile was used as a form of punishment, mainly for people of power and ability. People who were exiled were forbidden from entering the precincts of Rome, and so their skills, abilities and power were put to use elsewhere in the empire. This practice allowed the state to gain the exiled person's benefits on the local economy, and such, while publicly punishing the person.

The Romans did not copy any Greek democratic practice.

· Vote by the people gathered in an assembly of the people to elect (originally) the king started right from the beginning, long before contact with Greek political ideas.

· The Roman popular assemblies never voted on administrative action and state policy. These were the preserve of the kings, at first, and of the consuls in the Republic.

· The idea of citizenship was not a Greek invention and existed in a number of civilisations. Again, the Romans developed the concept of citizenship very early on, long before contact with Greek political ideas.

· Exiling people who were not politically desirable was common in ancient civilisations and was specific neither the Romans nor the Greeks. Rome practiced this long before Athens introduced ostracism.

The Romans were not interested in Greek principles of democracy and never tried to introduce them. The Roman Republic and the Athenian democracy were established at around the same time. Three Romans were said to have been sent to Athens 55 years after the foundation of the Republic to copy the law of Solon. This law was over 100 years old and established a timocracy (power by the propertied classes) rather than democracy. The Romans ignored the contemporary democratic institutions in Athens. There never were any discussions about democracy. The Republic was at first controlled by the patrician aristocracy and later by a patrician-(rich) plebeian oligarchy. Democracy (which for the Greeks meant power by the people) would have been seen as too subversive by the oligarchy. Despite voting on laws and electing the officers of state, the popular assemblies were meant to hold very little influenced in this oligarchy.

The development of the first mathematical system of perspective

I have found that the Corinthian Order of column has on it the Acanthus leaf. This is one of the oldest Mediterranean flowers and represents long, enduring life.

Also, in Christianity, the thorny leaf of the Acanthus flower was known to represent pain, sin, and punishment (due to Christianity trying to get attention away from the looking toward several gods).

In Mediterranean countries, it represents immortality

(sorry for the spelling errors)

The ancient Greeks believed the world was created when Chaos, Gaea, and Eros mixed with each other, creating the gods. In other words, the creation of the world began with the creation f the gods.

It would appear that medieval people did not use scrolls much at all. According to the article on Scrolls at Wikipedia, they virtually disappeared from use during the Middle Ages. In the same source, the article on the Book says that the codex came to dominate over the scroll with the rise of Christianity, in the 3rd and 4th centuries. There are links to these two articles below.

Most of the Greek gods were representations of forces over which mere humans had little or no control. Aphrodite (Roman Venus) was the goddess of love. The term aphrodisiac, which means a love potion, is a derivative of her name. The Greeks saw love as a kind of madness that overtook the lovers. Aphrodite had many followers, particularly women, who prayed to her and made offerings to her to feel in control of their love-lives. Apparently her priestesses also gave fashion advice and grooming tips.

For fun, ancient Greek children would play games and play with toys. The games they would play would be hockey or juggling with balls.

They developed the first mathematical system of painting perspective

they had typical things i guess like wooden chairs, stools, couches. :3 hope that helps xP

The same way mythology aided any early civilization. It accounted for natural phenomena like thunder (Zeus) or earthquakes (Poseidon is mad). Poor health was attributed to an insult made to Apollo, as he was the god responsible for plagues.

Making sure that their owners appreciate their work in their owner's houses or homes

Many slaves in ancient Egypt performed the role of servants in the house of the wealthy. They were usually fairly treated, adequately clothed and well fed. Remember there were no modern labour saving devices. Every household job had to be done by hand. It was hard graft.

Those who were less fortunate were forced to do humiliating, degrading and often dangerous work such as working on the land, digging canals, building monuments, quarrying and worst of all working in the mines. They were at the mercy of tough overseers. Food was pretty basic and they were usually naked.

All men in Spartan civilization were soldiers. Whether the man was small or big they still had to join the army to actually be citizens. In mythology they are all portrayed as big and muscly. They would have been very strong as they trained from the age of 7 but even the small men had to be soldiers.

Solon

The Greek city-states continued to fight each other under shifting alliances for a further sixty years, with first Sparta dominating, then Thebes. They were brought under control of Macedonia by its king Philip II.

In ancient Greece, regions were organized into city-states.

There are many differences between Roman and Greek tragedy. for example, Philip, king of Ancient Greek, was brutally murdered, and his son, Alexander the Great, took over as king. Many people were nervous, they had a right to be. Alexander was only 16! But he was probably the best king Ancient Greece has ever seen, his amazayn conquering skills helping him. He conquered so much of the east, nobody thought it was possible. Soon, conquering became easier and easier to the point where it didn't even feel like a challenge. More like... a hobby? But normally, when a king dies, all hell breaks loose. the city or country is lost without their leader, not knowing who to turn to. (with the exception of Sparta who had a bimonarchy). Romans were completely different. Romans knew exactly who they wanted to rule, and when. They knew what they wanted. If a king died in Ancient Rome, so be it. They mourn for a little, then get on with life. As a teacher, I believe this essay would deserve an A. It shows maximum research skills and shows that the student put in much needed effort into this assignment. That is the difference between Greek and Roman tragedies
