Ancient Greece

The Greeks had at least one commonality: ethnicity and their pagan gods. Their forms of government were different

It gave them food, the means of travel and trade, access to colonise the Mediterranean and Black Sea coasts and a venue for warfare.

Punctuality in Greece is often viewed with a relaxed attitude, where social interactions may take precedence over strict adherence to time. While professional settings may demand punctuality, in casual situations, arriving a bit late is generally accepted and not seen as disrespectful. This cultural perspective emphasizes relationships and the enjoyment of social gatherings over rigid schedules. However, attitudes can vary between individuals and contexts, with younger generations increasingly embracing punctuality.

There is a lot of speculation that Alexander died of poisoning from his own men, namely those who followed Cassander. Cassander, along with other Macedonians, Greeks resented Alexander for trying to incorporate those he conquered into his army, including marrying them off to "Asian" "Bactrian" or any other non-Greek woman.

Alexander himself married Roxanne, a Bactrian, which angered his close companions and army. However it seems that malaria is more than likely the culprit, after having contracted it while he was in India before heading back to Babylon where he died not long after. All the symptoms described in the history books suggest malaria.

If you can get past the camp and melodrama of the movie Alexander the story line shows that Alexander becomes increasingly "oriental" as in "Asian" (in the ancient world sense) as he travels with his army across the known world and incorporates those he conquers into his traveling army.

Alexander the Great, his son.

He was extremely proud of Athens. As a matter of fact, this pride would lead him to declare the fatal Pelopennisian War, which would end in Athens' defeat.

He warned against Phillip II power because Phillip had recently taken over near by Thessaly. He saw through what most athenians thought of as an unimportant war.

Oligarchy.

There were a lot of cultural activities associated with Ancient Sparta. Here are a few.

1. The "Agoge" was a form of education/military training which the Spartans followed and were famous for.

2. The "gymnopedia" was a major annual festival.

3. The "krypteia" was the organized and clandestine killing of random Helots by young members of the Spartan class. (Helots were Spartan slaves.)

4. The festival of Artemis Orthia was an annual festival honoring a prominent Spartan goddess.

5. Infant exposure was probably practiced elsewhere in Ancient Greece, but it was particularly unforgiving in Sparta.

6. The Spartans had a set of unique laws and Lycurgus was one of their famous early law givers.

7. The Spartans had a tradition of speaking in a brief and pointed fashion. Consequently, there are extensive collections of Spartan saying which have survived the centuries. (We also get the term "laconic" from that aspect of Spartan culture.)

The list could go on, but this is decent start.

Homer kept alive the memory of Mycenae by writing popular poetry about it. Just about all that was known in antiquity of about that nation was contained in Homer's writing.

A tragedy is the form of play in which the main character dies as a tragic hero. A tragedy always includes death and destruction in its content. Heroes are tragic, because they die or are destroyed. They all have fatal flaws that contribute to their deaths or destruction.

Their primary substance was from the land - grain, meat, eggs, vegetables, fruit. Fish were a supplementary source of protein.

Echo used to distract the Goddess Hera while her husband Zeus cheated on her whit other nymphs. When Hera discovered this, she was furius and punish Echo by taking away her voice, except in foolish repetition of another's shouted words. Echo were therefor only capable of repeating someone else's words.

At some point Echo sees a young man in the forest and follows him around. She wants to talk to him but off course can't speak first. Finally the young man (Narcissus) hears her footsteps and asks "who's there?" and Echo repeats "who's there?" - finally Echo shows herself to Narcissus, but the young man turns her down.

Heartbroken Echo spends the rest of her life alone in the glens pining away for the love she never knew, crying until all that is left of her is her voice.

Thus to this day we can sometimes still hear Echo repeating our voices, or so the tale says.

The Spartans were part of an alliance of southern Greek city-states which defeated the Persian invasion in 480-479 BCE.

Their males were married late after they had proved themselves as warriors. There was a firm sanction against pre-marital sex for women, so until males married, many formed sexual alliance with boys, but became married in due course and lived heterosexual lives thereafter. The boy when they grew up continued the same pattern.

This is a pattern of life still practised today (eg Sikhs) where there is a strong taboo against pre-marital sex, where adolescents substitute until legal heterosexual can be established.
