Ancient Greece

After being diverted for 50 years from fighting each other into fighting the Persians, their victory let them get back to their usual destructive inter-city warfare.

According to Acts of the Apostles, he preached in the synagogues. The Salamis mentioned was not the one near Athens where the naval battle against the Persians occurred, but the one on the east coast of Cyprus.

This demonstrates what a missionary religion Judaism was that there were several synagogues on the island.

There Paul ran into a prophet Son of Jesus who was in the household of the Roman governor of the Island. He clashed with Paul who, to show what fine Christian vertues he had, struck the prophet blind. So much for the moral standards of Paul.

Greek...sort of. Aelurus (or Ailuros) was the name that the Greeks gave to the Egyptian Goddess Bast as they thought that she was their Artemis in disguise. The Hellenized Bast was considered to be an aspect of her by the Greeks so she tentatively was her own goddess in the Greek Pantheon.

PLEASE, keep in mind that the various Greek Dieites got blurred together as Artemis herself was blurred with the Greek Moon Goddess Selene. This fudging was often highly illogical, even for mythology, as Artemis was a VIRGIN HUNTERESS while Selene was a MOON TITANESS who SCREWED HER LOVER LIKE A RABBIT IN AN ECSTASY TESTING LAB! Selene had over FIFTY children with her man which makes her about as far from being a virgin as you can get without being a prostitute! Things got EVEN MORE CONFUSING as BAST was a SOLAR GODDESS so things were all FUBAR when she was turned into Artemis.

This is about a straight answer as your gonna get, you can dig deeper but the whole thing just gets messy. It's best to think of Aelurus (Bast/Artemis) along the same lines as what happened to Zeus when the Romans made him Jupiter. The same and yet not the same.

Corn, being the generalized term for the most readily available grain in a population, is actually wheat or barley in ancient greece.

That being said, the goddess of grain was Demeter, the Great Mother.

Sea transport and a system of tracks with way stations for mounted couriers.

It doesn't take a genius to figure out that baseball wasn't played at the time of the Ancient Greeks so there is no word for it!

The Romans conquered Greece. They admired Greek culture and knowledge. They took Greek slaves home as tutors and borrowed much of the culture. The Romans added Greek gods and goddesses to their own gods; just changing their names. They used Greek medical knowledge and mathematics. They also copied some of the art style of statues. They used Greek slaves as engineers in their building projects. Romans used columns but added the idea of domes and arches to the architecture.

To protect the mortals on Earth, to watch over them and also to fight against the Titans

Yes. Plato was a nativist, in direct contrast to Aristotle's empiricist views.

Most of the women who journeyed to the goldfields were treated very poorly by the gold miners. Many women dressed up as men to keep from being recognized.

The assembly (ecclesia), in Athens held about fortnightly.

Medea, written by Euripides, is the story of Medea's revenge for the infidelity of Jason, the hero of the Argonauts. This ancient tragedy is one Euripides' earliest works.

There was an initial attempt by Alexander to introduce Greek culture to his empire, but after his early death and his generals dividing his empire amongst themselves to form the kingdoms, the view became more limited. The Macedonian and Greek upper class followed Greek customs, and the locals continued their own cultures. The Macedonian rules ruled as monarchs, and the people at large had no political participation, the antithesis of the city-state.

Athens was a pure democracy. It lacked constitutional protections; so that a slim majority could disenfranchise large portions of the population. It lent itself to demagogues and pandering politicians. Plus, it was a democracy of the elite. Only adult male property owners both of whose parents were Athenian could vote. If you were female, devoid of property, or had the misfortune to have one of your parents be born in another city, you could not vote--to say nothing of resident aliens who spent their whole lives in the city, or slaves. There were also class conflicts between the aristocratic elite and the merchant democrats. The gridlock formed by the political factions meant that Athens could not formulate an effective policy against the Macedonian threat.

Archimedes did not rule. He was a scientist.

They were the citizens of the city of Troy. Troy was located on the Dardanelles, and as well as the produce from its farmland, made a good living servicing the ships which sheltered on the protected beach near the city, waiting for favourable winds and tide coming to and from the Black Sea trade. As a rich city, it attracted the attention of the Greek pirate raids, and being walled for protection, is traditionally believed to have withstood a siege for several months in the 12th Century BCE and than been captured and looted. Archaeologists have located and dug a mound which contains several levels of a city site which was inhabited off and on over several centuries.

People in Ancient Greece sacrificed animals to Zeus because they wanted to favor the gods so the gods would favor them

By obstructing the pass, the Persian army's advance into southern Greece was delayed.

As the Persian fleet threatened the Greek cities and the cities kept their armies at home guarding against an amphibious attack on them, the Greeks plan was to provoke a sea battle to destroy the Persian fleet. The idea was that holding the pass would force the Persians to try to outflank the position by sea, and the Greek fleet would pounce.

Unfortunately for the Greeks the sea battle went against them, so holding the pass was to no avail. The troops holding the pass were therefore withdrawn.

The Spartan contingent selflessly continued to hold to let the other city contingents escape.
