Yes, the word comes from ancient Greek (eight-footed) and it was a standard source of protein in their diets.

Homer is not a god. He was a mere mortal who wrote the Iliad and the Odyssey. These are sometimes considered to be the Greek bible, but they were also criticised for unfairly portraying the gods as having human-like failings.

To the Hellenist's eye, the "golden rectangle" was considered to be the most pleasing rectangular shape. It is the rectangle whose length and width are in the ratio equal to the limit of adjacent terms of the Fibonacci series. The number is roughly 1.618. Its reciprocal is roughly 0.618. It's the number that is 1 more than its reciprocal, and the solution to x2 - x - 1 = 0.

The Olympics take place in August

They had a lot machine, and each juryman had two balls - black and white to indicate which way they cast their vote. They placed the chosen colour in the lot machine and these balls were counted and numbers for and against were counted after all members had lodged their ball. The outcome was then announced.

Lepta

The overpopulated Greeks shipped off their surplus populations to seize new land and establish their own city-states. Over 2,000 were established around the Mediterranean and Black Sea littorals.

The battle of Marathon is rather falsely touted in those terms. In fact it was a Persian punitive expedition against Athens for interfering in Greek city revolutions in Asia Minor (within the Persian Empire). Their loss at Marathon persuaded the Persians to return, though this was defeated by the southern Greek cities ten years later. It was not Persian despotism, it was about the Persians trying to maintain peace within their empire without having outsiders stoking up trouble. After a long intermittent war, Persia gave up and left the Greek cities to go back to their usual fighting each other.

There were several holidays celebrated in Ancient Greece. A few of the holidays celebrated were Anthesteria, Pithoigia, and Chytroi.

The medicine chest of the soul

Slavery was common practice throughout ancient Greek history, as in other societies of the time. It is estimated that the majority of Atheniancitizens owned at least one slave; most ancient writers considered slavery not only natural but necessary. This paradigm was notably questioned in Socratic dialogues; the Stoics produced the first recorded condemnation of slavery.[2]

Modern historiographical practice distinguishes chattel (personal possession) slavery from land-bonded groups such as the penestae ofThessaly or the Spartan helots, who were more like medieval serfs (an enhancement to real estate). The chattel slave is an individual deprived of liberty and forced to submit to an owner who may buy, sell, or lease them like any other chattel.

The academic study of slavery in ancient Greece is beset by significant methodological problems. Documentation is disjointed and very fragmented, focusing primarily on Athens. No treatises are specifically devoted to the subject - jurisprudence was interested in slavery only inasmuch as it provided a source of revenue. Comedies and tragedies represented stereotypes, while iconography made no substantial differentiation between slaves and craftsmen

Only for slaves was it possible to improve their status in society. Occasionally, a master would pay to set a skilled slave up in business. He would receive a share of the profits in return. Some of these wage earning slaves were able to save up and buy their freedom. However, freed slaves could never become citizens or metics.

I think the greeks did but ... is it a man or a women the world may never know.

There's no comparison. Greece never had an empire in the first place. Ancient Greece consisted of independent city-states which would only unite in times of crises and when the problem was over, revert to their independence. The closest that Greece came to an "empire" was the conquests of Alexander the Great, but this fell apart at his death, as he made no provision for succession. The Romans, on the other hand, had their demise due to internal and external pressures brought about by social change and population movement.

Zeus whom he came to claim descent from.

It was nothing like it - they were not a board, but rather 10 field commanders, one appointed by each tribe in Athens, who led forces on land and sea as operations required.

Sparta had the most intense and powerful army in the time of the Persian Empire.

They were; Thessaly, Epirus, Thrace, Paeonia and Illyria

Hello,

This is mainly about the status the different genders in Ancient Greece. Something you may already have known is that the women there would be treated much more poorly in comparison with the males. Sons were valued more than daughters. Wifely fidelity was praised, while the double standard was taken for granted. Men could be polygamous and most had slave concubines. Women generally stayed indoors and performed domestic tasks. Upper-class women had slaves to do the more menial jobs.

All this may have been a result of their culture and religion but you would have noted that all the philosophers from ancient Greece (a great load of them if you have not noticed) and none of them female. The reason for that is not that females were less evolved or less intelligent but rather they were not allowed to go to school or learn from any of these famous scholars to become scholars themselves but more of domestic helpers.

Well, more on that would be uncovered if you go take a look at some history of Greece and you can find out why they were treated different.
