Umm, the Olympics?

The sporting events to show physical excellence, which was considered by Greeks to be the closest you could get to being a god. The gods lived on Mt. Olympus, hence the name: Olympics.

Ephialtes of Trachis told the persians about a hidden path behind the mountains.

In Roman culture only the very wealthy were allowed to wear togas. A toga required the use of one hand when walking. This meant that the person wearing the toga could not do manual labor.

The Trojan War in Greek mythology, war between the Greeks and the people of Troy. The strife began after the Trojan prince Paris abducted Helen, wife of Menelaus of Sparta. When Menelaus demanded her return, the Trojans refused. Menelaus then persuaded his brother Agamemnon to lead an army against Troy. At Aulis, troopships gathered, led by the greatest Greek heroes–Achilles, Patroclus, Diomed, Odysseus, Nestor, and the two warriors named Ajax. In order to win favorable winds for the journey, Agamemnon sacrificed his daughter Iphigenia to Artemis. The winds came and the fleet set sail for Troy. For nine years the Greeks ravaged Troy's surrounding cities and countryside, but the city itself, well fortified and commanded by Hector and other sons of the royal household, held out. Finally the Greeks built a large hollow wooden horse in which a small group of warriors were concealed. The other Greeks appeared to sail for home, leaving behind only the horse and Sinon, who deceitfully persuaded the Trojans, despite the warnings of Cassandra and Laocoön, to take the horse within the city walls. At night the Greeks returned; their companions crept out of the horse and opened the city gates, and Troy was destroyed. The gods took great interest in the war. Poseidon, Hera, and Athena aided the Greeks, while Aphrodite and Ares favored the Trojans. Zeus and Apollo, although frequently involved in the action of the war, remained impartial. The events of the final year of the war constitute the main part of the Iliad of Homer. The Trojan War probably reflected a real war (c.1200 ) between the invading Greeks and the people of Troas, possibly over control of trade through the Dardanelles.

Alexander held Greek culture to be superior and civilising, and he was determined to spread it through the Persian Emoire as a unifying factor when he took it over.

It's adoption was superficial, taken up by the upper and commercial classes as it was spread through his empire after his death. The mass of the population continued on their own culture.

Pericles was a prominent Athenian statesman and general during the Golden Age of Athens, particularly noted for his role in advancing democracy and cultural flourishing. He oversaw the construction of the Parthenon and other significant architectural projects on the Acropolis, enhancing Athens' cultural legacy. Additionally, Pericles implemented reforms that expanded the democratic process, allowing greater participation by Athenian citizens in government. His leadership during the early part of the Peloponnesian War also shaped Athenian strategy and identity.

Metropolis.

There life's was indeed very different. A boy from Athens use to live it life in a more "city" environment people from Athen was more the kind of a socialist oppose to Sparta which used to be like a "fortress". They was taking their child's in places like war camps with in the city at a very young age in order to be trained so they will grow and be strong proud warriors of Sparta.There they would learn how to fight and eat food which would taste horrible just to get used in case of wars the food name was (Μελανα ζομον) in greek.

Museum is a derivative of muse

Muse means:

MUSE [myooz] _verb,_ *mused, musing* . To think carefully for a long period of time: _He mused about all the thingshe wanted to achieve before turning 21._

_noun, plural_ *muses* a source of inspiration: _The artist's muse was his wife, who inspired him to paint beaautiful women._

In the religion of the ancient Greeks, the _Muses_ were nine sister goddesses who each ruled over a different area of the arts, science, and learning. A *Museum* was, "a home of the Muses," meaning it would have things related to these areas of learning and the arts.

After the Persian invasion of mainland Greece was repelled, Athens led a coalition of eastern Greek city-states to counter Persian attempts to rule them. The Delian League had its treasury at Delos. When the Persia Empire gave up the struggle and made peace, Athens turned the League into an empire of its own, continuing to levy the war funds, by force where necessary, and spent the money on beautifying Athens and putting half its citizens on the public payroll.

in ancient Greece the men were farmers, and they harvested crops, and they grew olives, figs and grapes. many people lived near the sea, so fish and seafood was popular. the females made their own wine for the families. people also knew how to make breads ou of wheat, and they kept goats and dairy cows for milk and cheese. also young rich men hunted wold deer for special occasions.

hope this helps! :)

All philosophers know that there is a limit to human exertion. It is part of their wisdom. They know that the seed has been sown, which only needs time and the nutrients of human social interactions to grow, bloom and ripen which will take sometimes centuries. That is why they all go contented and satisfied to their passing away. That is exactly why Socrates in his prison cell went contentedly to his death. He was condemned for standing against proclaimed principles of the State. His disciple in the next generation Plato founded the Academy, the learning at which institution the noble men of his times could not avoid for fear of losing their covetous place in the marriage market. And when it was the time of Aristotle, he was invited to teach Alexander, the son of King Philip in Macedonia. Within three generations, we see the picture of Socrates' ideas becoming the governing principles of the State. No one can resist an idea whose time has come. Philosophers are patient and can wait centuries for fulfillment of their mission. So not only Diogenes but they all rest easy now in their graves.
