Ancient Greece

700 bc and 1001bc

King of Epirus, he searched for a role in history in the 3rd Century BCE, taking up the cause of the Greek city of Tarentum against Rome, beating Rome in two battles, then trying his luck in Sicily and planning something in North Africa.

His limited troop resources defeated him, and he ended up interfering in southern Greece, where he was killed at Argos by an old woman who hit him with a roof tile. Not exactly a comedy of errors, but things just didn't go right for him.

A story: He was drinking with his friends when planning the Tarentum foray into Italy. One asked 'What will we do when we beat Rome?' He replied 'We can come home, take our liesure and have parties like this'. His friend responder 'Why don't we stay here and have the parties without the nasty bit?'

Another story: His victories over Rome cost him badly, losing most of his close friends and decimating his army. When congratulated after the second victory, he replied 'One more victory like this and I am completely undone.'

It was a blocking action to bring on a navel action in the nearby strait in which the Greeks hopd to destroy the Persian naval threat.

The naval battle failed so the Thermopylai pass was abandoned.

The Spartan force of 2,400 (300 armoired infantry and 2,1oo light infantry) selflessly continued to hold the pass to let their 4,000 Greek allies escape, and died.

The warriors who participated in the battle of Thermopylai were from the citizen armies of several Greek cities.

As part of being a citizen of a city, they joined the city's army when they were 18 years of age and were admitted into the ranks. They would be trained initially in basics of weapon handling by their fathers, then when admitted, in collective training by instructors appointed by the state.

Regular parades were conducted with these citizen-soldiers to practice formations and tactics.

In Athens, the oligarchy was ousted by a populist Tyranny, which lost popularity after 50 years,. The oligarchs tried to take over again, but Cliesthenes introduced a limited democracy in 508 BCE. This oligarchs took over during the Persian invasion of the 480s BCE, as they led the city-state in the war. The retained this control until 460 BCE when Ephialtes reintroduced a democracy. The oligarchs murdered him for this, but his deputy Pericles kept it going, eventually converting it into a radical democracy.

Having run to Sparta to solicit their military help against the Persian invasion, he then ran back to tell the Athenians that the Spartans were in the middle of a religious festival, but would come as soon as it was over. The 120 mile run was too much for him and he died of exhaustion.

If you are talking about the fake story of him then going to Marathon and running back the 26 miles to tell the Athenians of the victory there over the Persians, it is just that - he was dead. The news of the Marathon victory came when the Athenian army, after the battle, realised that the Persian cavalry had taken off by sea for Athens to capture it in their absence. The 9,000 Athenian heavy infantry with their 9,000 light infantry, ran desperately the 26 miles back to Athens, forming up in front of the city just as the Persians were disembarking. Frustrated, the Persians went home.

So the news of the battle was brought by 18,000 Athenian soldiers running with their weapons and armour - a far greater feat then today's pampered Marathon runners. And Pheidippides was by this time cremated, and unable to bring any message after his initial one from Sparta. And the Spartans arrived too late for the battle.

Ancient Greek women were wearing long white dresses and so did the Romans who were influenced by the preexisting Greek civilization and 'borrowed' elements by it as well as they did with other preexisting civilizations like the Egyptian. They didn't wear wreaths of flowers though. The Greek Olympic champions were receiving a wreath of olive tree branches as a prize. Plus, the Greek women members of the royal families were wearing golden crowns that looked like wreaths of flowers.

According to google,

The ancient Greeks saw epilepsy as a supernatural phenomenon, the holy sickness. To their way of thinking, only a god could throw a person to the ground, deprive him of his senses, cause convulsions, and afterwards bring him back to life, apparently quite unaffected. Hippocrates, a Greek physician who lived around 450 BC argued against this belief by claiming that the illness had quite natural causes. He was also the first to localize its origin to the brain.
