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.

The Greek city states (polis) were formed out of the Homeric period because of the iron age and Greece's impossible terrain. During the Homeric period the Mycenaean Greeks were in control of most of Greece's vast areas since their kings had bronze weapons. When iron was discovered that enabled anyone to make weapons, the kings lost their empires and the people began to form communities according to Greece's natural borders.

Because no one likes being ruled by an overlord, or king, which is why America doesn't have one because it wouldn't last. Also, because the last monarchy got overrun by the people.

Citizens were males of military age (18+) who were accepted by a tribe within the city as a member.

They had blank outer walls, facing into a courtyard through doors.

Archimedes inventions changed the world because for example, we wouldn't be able to ship military cargo, or have Cruise ships due to this man. This man found out buoyancy which is covered in Archimedes principal. Have you ever wondered how big cargo ships float float? They float because the volume is more than the mass of the actual ship. That means that the density of the ship is lower. Now if the ship had more mass than volume, the boats would sink to the bottom of the ocean. Thank you Archimedes

The most important civic duty of a citizen of ancient Greece or ancient Rome was to put the welfare of the state ahead of personal welfare or personal gain. The noblest actions were those which benefited the state.

The twelve Olympians that resided at Mount Olympus were Zeus, Hera, Poseidon, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Hestia, Demeter, Hermes, Aphrodite, Ares and Hephaestus. Apart from the gods, the foot of the mountain was also the place where the nine Muses lived

Greece's government used to be a government where everyone votes but, now Greece has a government like us. We in the United have a government where we have representatives. So to answer your question, there is no difference in governments beetween the U.S ans Greece.

It is chiefly Salamis's proximity to Athens that gave the island its importance in ancient Greek history. The island is located in the Saronic Gulf just off the coast of Greece near Athens. The most famous episode involving Salamis was during the 2nd Persian War in the Battle of Salamis. This was when Themistocles, one of the Athenian generals taking part in the allied resistance against the Persians, realized his city could not be saved from Persian attack. He convinced all the women, children and elderly of Athens to take refuge on the island of Salamis while the able-bodied men of Athens and many other Greek city-states took to ships (called triremes) and fought the Persians on the water instead of on land. The geography of the Saronic Gulf around Salamis helped to minimize the Persian's main advantage, the sheer number of troops and ships, and even the odds for the far fewer Greek fighters. So while the Persians were able to burn the city of Athens (making way for the Parthenon and many other famous buildings still present today), they were not able to defeat the Athenian people, partly because of the island of Salamis.

There is actually no god of stars. Zeus has thunderbolts and is god of all if that answers it. Really, if there are any more questions, ask away!!! -Megan
