What similar things destroyed the roman and greek empires?
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.

What is the difference between how sons and daughters were treated in ancient Greece?
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.

Why were Greek coins handmade?
The technology of that era only allowed for hand-work. Two dies, one for the front, and the other for the back face, were engraved with pictures and lettering. Then a blank coin (metal disk or silver, gold, or metal alloy) was placed between the two dies. The upper die, which was the "face", was struck one or more times hard with a heavy hammer.
When the metal blank was removed, it would have the die images imprinted on it. This remained the only way to mint coins until the Renaissance.
