Ancient Greece

When it became a radical democracy the (adult male) citizens met in fortnightly assembly and made decisions which were implemented by the Council. The citizens also formed the law courts - there were no judges or lawyers.

Ancient Greece was not a country or nation, but a collection of city states with a common ethnic, cultural and linguistic identity. The tough terrain of Greece (including Mt. Olympus, home of the gods) kept them separate and fiercely independent. This competitive environment eventually lead them to there demise. Greece was briefly united as one nation under Macedonian Hegemony under Philip II and then his son Alexander III also known as Alexander the Great.

Provocative, concerned with problems and conflicts sometimes disturbing to his audiences, Euripides displays a rationalistic and iconoclastic attitude toward the gods and an interest in less heroic, even homely, characters

The Greeks would drink all sorts of stuff. Some are wine, beer, coffee, ouzo, raki, or tea.

hope this helped :)

The main similarities and differences between Greek and Roman political structures are as follows: Leadership of aristocracy with elements of democracy; Local autonomy/primacy; City-state units; Rome more emphasis on laws which unified population; and Rome had more success in creating a centralized government.

Tried and succeeded! Alexander the Great's general Ptolemy established the last line of Pharaoh's all of whom were, obviously, Greek. Many of them did not even speak Egyptian. The last and most famous of these Ptolemaic rulers - a little lady named Cleopatra VII.

By physical force and garrisons amongst the city-states of its empire.

Yes , and Athens exploited her position to the detriment of the other Greek city-states which ultimately led to the Peloponnesian Wars .

Ancient Greece and Rome are known by several terms. They are called the Greco-Roman civilization, Classical civilization, Classical Antiquity, and probably other titles. Their literature is known as the Classics. The studying of them is known as Classical History.

The Athenian Acropolis is a rock, and naturally cost nothing. We don't know the cost of the various buildings (mainly Erechtheion, Parthenon and temple of Nike). A guesstimate of the Parthenon is 700-800 talents.

Cleisthenes was important because he was known as the reformer of the constitution of Athens. He also began to point Athens in the way of becoming a democracy. He is known as "the father of Athenian democracy."

Ancient Rome waa a male dominated society and the women did not have the rights of full citizenship. Politics was strictly a man's concern and any woman who publicly expressed too great of an intrest in politics was considered unfeminine.

He died in 194 B.C. of self-induced starvation.

Why ancient Greek comedians of course! buh-dump psh!

Actually it is that simple, unless you want names. If so, Aristophanes and Menander are pretty good. However, this is largely pretty mature stuff. Aristophanes wrote a play telling how the Peloponnesian War between Athens and Sparta ended, the women of Greece collectively withheld sex from their husbands (even the prostitutes stopped, and that was a pretty heavy business since most men didn't marry until their late 20s, thirties). Some of Aristophanes' stuff was so raunchy that it wasn't properly translated for a while. Naturally, I highly recommend Aristophanes.

The citizens (adult males) met in assembly fortnightly and discussed and voted on laws and the conduct of the state, the council carried out the directions of the assembly between meetings. In that way, they were the government.

An indirect democracy is where people elect representatives to a parliament, and the parliament makes the decisions, which are not necessarily what the people wanted.

A direct democracy was possible with a city-state where the citizens lived close enough to attend the assemblies. Elected representative democracy is unavoidable where the distance preclude this, however fast-growing communications efficiency will offer the ability to install direct democracy, however this will be strongly resisted by today's politicians who will not want to give up perks and power, just as it was resisted in ancient Greece.

Ancient greek women wore tunics called chitons. Women also wore sashes and golden jewelry for accessories.
