Ancient Greece

All Greek cities depended heavily on slave labour. Probably a third of the population of Athens were slaves. Their force of archers were Scythian slaves, whom they used as a police force as well.

Sparta is often mistakenly stated to have used large numbers of slaves. These were in fact serfs - men who were free but bound to the land and paying part of their produce to the landowners. These serfs were also used as light infantry to support the Spartan armoured warriors as archers and light infantry. As Sparta's warrior population dwindled, these serfs were given freedom for successful army service when recruited as heavy infantry.

The parts, whether male or female, were performed by males. It started at 50, dropped to as low as 12, and rose back to such levels as 24 at different times and types of performance - dramatic, satyr and comedy plays.

Someone who writes successful history, that is a coherent account of human events for a given period of time.

The word History comes from the Greek word for Researches, which is the name given to his book by our first coherent historian who opened his book with the words:

'Herodotus of Halicarnassus his researches are here set down so that the great deeds of men may not be forgotten.'

People have taken it on from there, some successfully, some not so successfully, and some pervert it to propaganda for their views.

Myron of Eleuthrae was a sculptor in bronze in the first half of the 5th Century BCE, producing representations of athletes which brought a new boldness of pose and sense of rhythm.

Helios was the god who drove the chariot of the Sun across the sky each day.

The aristocrats were the largr landowners who displaced the kings and ruled until they were displaced by the tyrants who were installed by the lower classes to govern fairly for them. When the lower classes got tired of the tyrants authoritarianism, they brought in democracy. Often the democracies failed to function effectively, and tyrants and aristocrats returned in various cities. Then the kings returned after Alexander the Great died. As so the world has gone on with various cycles of political control, even to today.

Meat was very scarce - the land was too poor to sustain large numbers of animals, so people ate chickens and fish with their staple diet of bread. At festivals, animals were sacrificed - ploughing oxen too old to work, and some rich men donated some animals too. After the animals were sacrificed, the guts were burnt for the gods (the clever Greeks claimed they preferred it!) and the meat was barbecued and apportioned to those attending the religious festival.

There is Rome, Greeks,India, China, and Egyptians still influence us today with their religions, culture, and etc.

They had the letter A (alpha) on their shields, and their city symbol was the owl of Athena, their patron godess.

It allowed the Greeks to trade with nearby countries. There is more to it, but that is just ONE of the many answers.

According to the Greek creation myth, the first thing that came into being was Chaos,a dark intangible element, a kind of primeval void. This was followed by the birth of Gaia, the primordial goddess of the earth. She was followed by Tartarus, with hiss dim realms far below the earth, and by Eros, the god of sexual love. Without a mate Gaia bore Uranus (sky) , the mountains and Pontus (sea) then Uranus mated with his mother and she bore the Titans, Oceanus, Coeus, Crius, Hyperion, Patues, Theam, Rheo, Themis, Mneomsyne, Phoebe, Tethys, and last of all Cronus.

The Egyptians rarely depicted nudity. The Greeks and the Romans depicted everything, especially nudity.

Nearly two hundred cities, mainly around the Aegean and Black Seas and the Islands, which originally were part of the anti-Persian Delian League, which Athens turned into an empire after the Persian threat subsided, converting the annual levy for defence to its own private use. The funds were collected ruthlessly by force if necessary. The funds were also used to finance the Athenian navy which did this collecting each year.

Three cities did not pay, as they maintained ships to augment the Athenian fleet - Samos, Lesbos and Chios. Many cities periodically refused to pay, and the records of Athenian show an annual death toll of Athenian soldiers who died in collecting the revenue by force. The first to be dealt with was Naxos; others followed. Eventually Samos also resisted and was captured and punished.

The god who was honored at the ancient Olympic Games was Zeus. Zeus was the supreme god and god of the sky and thunder. According to myth, Zeus and and his son Heracles founded the Games.

We mustn't lose sight of Pharaoh's crimes. He is guilty of a policy of genocide and enslavement. This is bad enough. Furthermore, Pharaoh has been comprehensively shown that God is the God of the universe and yet Pharaoh still opposes God, opposes God's very essence and intention for creation. Is this Pharaoh's choice, or has God made him feel like that? Hold that question.

im sorry but i dont know anything so im sorry

apologies to all you guys out their

Athena in Greek mythology was the goddess of wisdom and battle strategy. She was also the patron goddess of Athens after her and Poseidon had a sort of competition for the city. She has multiple symbols including the owl, a serpent, an olive branch, and a lance. These symbols are also sacred to her. She has many more but these are her more common ones. Hope that was sorta helpful =P

A crown of olive leafs.

Well, the Greeks loved competitions. So they made up a game called the Olympics, which modernized to the sports we have today. The Olympics were not the only competition in Ancient Greece, but the most popular.

Trojan War

Bravery wisdom and political talent

The Persian War outcome provided Athens with an empire from the coalition it had formed to finally defeat the Persian threat. It misused the resources of this coalition to spend on itself and so could afford to promote art, culture and building.

It also over-promoted its own power on the proceeds of the empire, leading to the Peloponnesian War with the Spartan alliance, which devastated Greece, lost Athens its empire and reduced it to a second-rate power. Greece did not recover and became a target for dominance by Macedonia.
