Ancient Greece

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.

Both the Romans and the Greeks shared the Mediterranean but were separated by time, rather than geographical borders.

You see the Roman Empire (30 B.C. to 1450 A.D.) encircled the entire Mediterranean Sea (including modern day Greece). The empire stretched from Britain to Spain, the North shores of Africa to Egypt, from modern day Iran to Turkey, and across most of modern day Western Europe.

The Greek Empire (400 B.C. - 120 B.C.) was rather small until King Alexander of Macedon (Alexander the Great) spread the kingdom from the Greek mainland and Egypt east across the Persian Empire.

However, the Geography of Italy varies greatly from that of Greece. Italy is, for the most part landlocked. As a peninsula it has much water frontage but the mainland cities are mostly inland. Greece is much more spread across vast archipelagos and has been known to be rocky. Each country has its share of mountains, cliffs, hills, and fertile soils.

Not really, the Babylonians and the Egyptians beat them to it.

Democracy began developing in Athens from 507 BCE under the guidance of Cleisthenes. It took another seventy years to develop to its peak, and Athens then exported the concept to several other cities.

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.

The Greek experiment was Direct Democracy, that is the Assembly was not comprised of representatives elected by the people as in today's Representative Democracies - the people themselves attended fortnightly Assembly meetings and discussed and voted on motions put before the by a Council which was elected by the tribes, but had no legislative power itself - the Council carried out the decisions of the Assembly of the People.

Eighty percent of mainland Greece is mountainous, which explains why it was such a poor country and the cities had to export their surplus population to colonise the Mediterranean coastline.

The principal ranges in descending order are: Olympus 2917 metres, Pindus, Voras, Ida, Taygetus, Kylleni, Aroania, Varnous, Falakro, Erymanthos, Orvilos, Pieros, Dikti, Verno, Askio 2111 metres. The rest are below 2000 metres.

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

The history of the planets had nothing to do with humans. Humans used the planets as religious symbols.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

im sorry but i dont know anything so im sorry

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.

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.
