Ancient Greece

A religious belief system is a person's foundation of thought held and actively practised as their world view; based upon the belief of a supreme being of revelation, not of human manipulation. It governs one's personal behaviors and thoughts, regardless of consequences; it has as its overarching aim to reveal to the holder and those with whom they interact, with what the Creator God's (big G intended) vision is in human personal behavior within all things philosophical, physiological, mental, emotional, political, cultural, and relationally. To define one's thoughts, positions, values, and character as a disciple or follower of their worldview is the proof of such a system. It is not a coat or cover of connivance, but a belief not to be removed, compromised, or devalued, when even personal demands or needs, cultural reasoning, or norms appear or seems to appear as sound and suitable. but in opposition to one's religious belief system. A religious belief system directs all things in one's life, without subjection to the human need to always be happy, or live completely and continuously in some state of joy. A religious belief system requires by its very exist, personal sacrifice.

Romans had a democracy while other countries were still living with kings and queens.

Because they had defeated the wealthy Persian empire, Alexander and his successors had ample amounts of wealth to spend lavishly on building projects and the arts. The Ptolemies, for example, built a huge library in Alexandria with the modest aim of gathering all the known books in the world. Attached to the library was a museum (the term which is still used today literally means "place of the muses"), where scholars would produce encyclopedias of knowledge. Tremendous achievements during this period were also made in the areas of science and art: Aristarchus of Samos put forth the theory that they earth revolves around the sun and rotates daily on its own axis; in Alexandria, Euclid summed up all the geometric knowledge of his age in the form of a textbook (a work that is still referred to to this day); Archimedes of Syracuse worked out many important theorems in mathematics. In the arts, sculpture became more realistic. Whereas sculptors during the classical period aimed at portraying an idealized version of human beings---typically with features portraying little emotion --- Hellenistic sculptors aimed at more naturalistic depictions. Female nudes and busts of ordinary, less than perfect, people also become quite common during this period.

Life in ancient Greece depended largely on your gender and socioeconomic class. Greek society was very male dominated--only men could be citizens and enjoy a full education. Women were expected to stay in the home and raise their families.

Slavery was also central to Greek life. Up to a quarter of the population were slaves, and they provided much of the physical labor that spurred the economy. They mostly served in Greece's shipyards, mines, and quaries, as well as in the homes of wealthier families.

They were in charge of the family household.

Had power over wives, daughters and children

Could punish property if his (wives, children) however he wanted.

Duty to lead in family prayers.

Men could legally beat their wives.

Could choose to raise their babies or let them die.

Could be Emperor.

I addition to the domestic rights stated above, men could also vote, run for public office and join or lead an army. They also had an obligation or "munus" to the state which is to do a public duty or service. If they got in trouble, they had the right to a trial by jury, the right of appeal, and if sentenced to death, the right to be executed quickly, by beheading. These rights were in addition to the other rights of Roman citizenship.

The city-states of mainland Greece each had their area of agricultural land around them. Their need to expand was based on the increasing population which even their continuous wars could not control. So when a city became overpopulated - that is more people than its agricultural land could sustain, the surplus was loaded on a ship and sent of to form a new city elsewhere. Usually those selected were mainly from the non-propertied class, so these had the chance to become landholders abroad. It was also a way of getting rid of political troublemakers to lead the colonising expedition. They partly-displaced other peoples already living there.

In this way hundreds of Greek cities sprang up right around the Mediterranean, from today's Spain and France, Sicily, southern Italy, North Africa, Asia Minor and around the Black Sea. These colony-cities were expected to pay some loyalty to their mother-cities, however this sometimes broke down and ended in hostility.

The first Olympic Games were held in 776 BC. They Began as a religious festival of the god Zeus and were held every 4 years. They were held in a valley of Ancient Greece called Olympia. That is how they came to be called the Olympics. The only event held was a foot race, they raced the length of the stadium. Later a nine mile chariot race was added. And a lot more people were interested in that than a foot race.

The Romans had the advantage over much of Europe that they had a milder climate. They also had trade with other Mediterranean countries, so they were quite wealthy.

The Romans were brilliant artists and were one of the most advanced societies in the world during their empire days.

Their armies were capable of taking down almost any opponent. The standard weapons of a Roman soldier were a gladius and a pilum. A gladius was a short sword that was lighter and easier to manouevre than their opponents' bigger swords. A pilum was a type of spear that was brilliantly crafted so that a Roman soldier could stab it through the shield of an enemy, but the enemy could keep pulling on his shield while the Roman held onto the pilum, and the pilum couldn't be pulled out by him. The enemy soldier would then typically toss his shield down, which allowed the Roman to finish him off with his gladius.

The Roman Empire was Europe's original empire, and its artistic and cultural legacy exists to this day.

SPQR

Greek peoples, cousins of the Italian peoples, moved into eastern Europe in the early second millennium BCE and spread progressively around the Mediterranean, Adriatic, Aegean and Black Seas.

They formed city-states - cities with defensive walls, with farming country attached. They lived on the land or in the city according to their occupation. Some of these widely dispersed cities lasted in some form until the present day, where there are identifiable Greek ethnics in many countries other than modern Greece.

Sports promoted fitness and stamina and a desire to achieve greatness, and so were of social benefit. They were held in Greek cities as a part of religious festivals to honour the gods. Some were much more widely attended than others, gaining inter-city repute throughout the Greek world, and came to deliver financial and prestige benefits. The most prominent were the Olympic Games at Olympia in honour of Zeus, others were the Isthmian Games, Nemean Games, Pythian Games.

To provide for himself and family, serve in the army, and give due honour to the gods.

Some 100 kilometers slightly to the south-west of Athens. For a proper view, go to Google Maps and enter 'Mycene' in the search box.

There was a time when the intellectual achievements (in literature, sculpture, and mathematics) of the classical era seemed to be the pinnacle of human accomplishment, never to be equaled. However, while those achievements remain remarkable to this day, they have since been surpassed. We still describe that period as classical, out of respect for its amazing accomplishments.

The ancient Greeks fit this description quite well.

Since the Ancient Greek times.

First the kings, then the aristocrats to get rid of the kings, then the tyrants to get rid of the aristocrats, then the democrats (people) to get rid of the tyrants, then the aristocrats to get rid of the democracy, then the kings to get rid of the aristocrats.

The most popular theater, the Amphitheater packed 11,000 people into it. However most small theaters only held 1 or 2 thousand.

Children's lives in Ancient Greece differed based on the city state they grew up in. Spartan boys began military training at the age of 7 and did not return home. Athenian boys were home schooled until the age of 13 and then were sent to school.

The Olympian Gods played a variety of roles in the daily lives of ancient Greeks. As each was responsible for a different sphere, and various activities in each, of human life, the Gods were often called upon to witness and also to bless daily activities. Promises were made and oaths uttered in the names of these Gods. Special sacrifices or offerings, along with prayers, were made directly to these Gods, whether at home or in temples or even by special human representatives of these Gods. As watchful overseers of human activity, the Gods were also felt as a daily, if often vague, moral presence, reminding humankind to do good, not ill, and to avoid what most ancient Greeks considered to be the ultimate vice: pride.
