Ancient Greece

Athens

Yes, I would say so. The Greek Civil War is regarded as the first of many Cold War conflicts, beginning in 1944 and in progress when the Cold War began in 1945. As it was a definite loss for Communism, Greece remained staunchly on the side of Democracy throughout the Cold War.

They were preformed in amphitheaters.

The Greed Culture was a principle founded by Alexander the Great. The principle focus of the Greed culture was acceptance of the cultures of the lands and people that Alexander the Great conquered.

Tragedies are tragic because bad things happen to good people. Sometimes the bad things happen because of a conscious choice made by the hero (as in Macbeth), sometimes because they are unwittingly duped (as Lear and Othello), sometimes because they are overcome by emotions so they cannot decide rationally (as in The Spanish Tragedy or Romeo and Juliet), sometimes because events are quite out of the hero's control (as in Oedipus Rex), and sometimes because the choices they have to make are impossible (as in Hamlet and even more so in Coriolanus).

"Βάρβαροι" [vArvaree] (meaning barbarians)

There are too many events to list here in 1700 years. However, in 2BC, the first map was drawn, showing three continents. The ancient Olympic games were abolished in 393 AD. In 1460, the Ottomans conquered Greece.

Lucius Quinctius Cincinnatus

Philip didn't rule Greece, he was appointed hegemon, which power he used to try to bring the warring city-states to peace with each other. Of course many of the upper class didn't like this, but the average peasant farmer was just glad to live life without their aristocracies stirring up conflict.

Philip was assassinated before he could head off to his planned conquest of the Persian Empire, but his son Alexander continued on with the plan, and subsequently became virtually depopulated as their men flowed to Asia as soldiers and carpetbaggers. Greece was heavily depopulated over the following centuries as a result.

they used it alot for trade and transportation and to help grow their crops. plus, one of their gods, Poseideon, was the god of the sea so they would have had to pray and give offerings to him for safe travel and good weather.

The controversy derives from the different Greek and British views as to who should own the Elgin Marbles. From the Greek perspective, the marbles used to be part of the Parthenon in Athens, Greece and Greece maintains they should be returned there since they are a part of Greek cultural heritage. Britain says Lord Elgin was allowed to remove these from the Acropolis by the Ottoman Turkish government that was in power at the time that Elgin made the request. Therefore, the British legally removed them, even though the Greeks at that time were not consulted. Also these marble reliefs would have been destroyed by now if they had been left in their original place because of the various wars that were fought in Athens since Elgin took the marbles out of Greece. So Britain has preserved the Elgin marbles for 200 years and ought to keep them.

It was a warning to them of the result to be expected to any other city within the League of Corinth which was thinking of revolt as had Thebes. There were no other revolts.

Marathon was a feint. In order to capture Athens, he had arranged for traitors to open the gates of the city.

The plan was to land at Marathon, drawing the Athenian army there. Then his cavalry re-mbarked and rowed around Cape Sounion to land opposite Athens, then gallop up and seize the city while the infantry kept the Athenian infantry interested at Marathon 26 miles away. With the city lost, the Athenian army would be trapped between it and the Persian infantry.

Unfortunately for this plan, the Athenians saw the cavalry departing. They had been lurking in the foothills waiting for Spartan reinforcement, as they did not want to face the Persian cavalry on the Plain of Marathon which was good cavalry country. Now, with the cavalry embarking embarking, the Athenian heavy infantry ran down and defeated the weaker Persian infantry.

They then realised where the ships were going and ran back over the hills to Athens, just in time to form up in front of the city as the Persian cavalry arrived. The Persians, their infantry defeated and their cavalry stymied, gave up and went home.

This was the origin of today's marathon run - however today's pampered runners get it easier than the 9,000 Athenian infantry, fed on bread, wearing sandals and carrying armour, shields and weapons.

The Greek cities in Asia (colonised by the mainland Greek cities) were restive under Persian rule. Miletus revolted, Eretria and Athens sent military assistance, and were over-adventurous in burning the Persian provincial capital Sardis.

After reducing Miletus, in 490 BCE Persian king Darius sent a punitive expedition (not an invasion of Greece) against the two cities to warn the Greeks to stay out of his empire; he also wanted to neutralise the two offenders by installing puppet regimes in them.

Eretria was reduced, but Athens defeated the attack on it. This led Darius to plan the submission of all mainland Greece in order to establish an ethnic frontier of his empire in the west. This led to the invasion of Greece in 480 BCE afterhis death by his son and successor king Xerxes.
