Ancient Greece

octopussy ehehe

They both were the first two cultures to be developed in Greece.

(Mycenaeans were first because the only spoke greek.)

Sparta just like the Roman Empire, it fell and Sparta doesn't exist anymore

Yes and no, it was possible to buy ones way out of slavery, and it was easier to receive Manumission than in the American South, but it was still rare. Most slaves were Barbarians, and, therefore, the Greeks considered them inferior.

The first theater productions were performed as a kind of worship to Dionysus.

The word "tragedy" translates as "goat-song" from ancient Greek because Dionysus was part goat, and those first performances were generally what we would now call tragic, in reference to the god's being killed and resurrected every year.

The River Styx is in the underworld. Dead souls are ferried across it by Charon the ferryman. The River Styx was a mythological river that flowed between the ends of the Earth and the beginnings of the Underworld.

Homer was the author of the epics known as the Iliad and the Odyssey. The word homer can also be another term for home run in the game of Baseball.

C. His suffering is caused by the cruelty of others.

D. The gods intervene and he is cured of his disease.

Mycenae seems to have been the most important of a number of independent kingdoms.

After the Empire was established, their main problem was the Greek cities of Asia Minor which they had incorporated into the empire. These cities rebelled and it took six ears to suppress the revolt.some Greek cities in mainland Greece had supported the revolts, Persia decided to incorporate all the cities within the empire in order to control them. This resulted in a 50-year war until the Persians gave up. Then Macedonia dominated the European Greek cities and invaded the Persian Empire and took it over.

No, 7,000 Greek armoured warriors and 9,000 light infantry held the pass for 3 days against 180,000 Persian infantry and cavalry. This was to force the Persians to try to bypass the position with their fleet, with the Greek fleet waiting to pounce. The Greeks lost the naval battle and so the blocking force was withdrawn. The Spartan (300 armoured warriors and 2,100 light infantry) and Thespian contingents stayed to cover the retreat and were all killed, bravely protecting their allies' escape.

Folklore:

At the battle of Thermopylae 300 Spartan hoplites held of the entire Persian army. They were, however massacred at the end when a traitor from the Spartans led the Persians along a goat track through the mountains. The Persians could then come upon the Spartans from the rear and they were slaughtered to a man. EwwwwwThe header says it all. I'm guessing this is a "300" fan posting the above answer. Yes, a Greek force held off the Persian advance by King Xerxes I for 3 days at Thermopylae. BUT, the tell is, Ephialtes (the greek traitor) was not Spartan, he was a local who lived at Malis, not far from the battle site. The exact number of Persians is unknown, Herodotus records over 5000000, but it was probably nearer the given number in the question. There were not just 300 Spartans at Thermopylae, the were supported by 7000 other Greeks from all over the south of Hellas. These included more Spartans, not Hoplite troops but inferior light infantry. The Persians were held off until the third day of fighting, when Leonidas (the Spartan King and Leader of the Greek force) was killed. The Greeks were desperate to recover his body and much pushing back and forth ensued until the Spartans reached and recovered his corpse. The Greeks, now angry, fought all the harder and by the end of the battle, although surrounded (they had been betrayed by the afformentioned Ephialtes) The Persians had to finish them off with arrows. Only the Spartans, Thespians and Thebans perished at Thermopylae. Leonidas sent all but the Thebans home (The Thebans' loyalty to Hellas was questionable) but the Thespians stayed anyway as they too felt they should stand and sacrifice themselves in order that all of Greece should stand together against the Persian armies. The Thespians, often forgotten, played a major role in Thermopylae, their sacrifice, you could argue, was greater than that of the Spartans. It was illegal for a Spartan to abandon the field of battle (even the Spartan messenger Leonidas sent back to Sparta was exiled and died in shame) but the Thespians had every right to leave, and didn't. The battle of Thermopylae in 480BC stands as a MAJOR turningpoint in global history, before September 480BC the idea that there is something worth more than life itself was very sparse, but now, to sacrifice your life for a glorious cause is regarded as a noble and beautiful thing to do.

Well there's one right now but it's the second of the both the other was destroyed before Christ

They represented barbarism and uncontrolled chaos.

The Hippocratic oath or ethical code is attributed to the ancient Greek physician Hippocrates. This was adopted as a guide to conduct by medical professionals throughout the ages and still used in the graduation ceremonies of many medical schools today. Very little is known of the life of Hippocrates or indeed, if he was the only practitioner of the time using this name. The Hippocratic Collection (Corpus Hippocraticum), survived until modern times. In addition to containing information on medical matters, the collection contained a code of principles for the teachers of medicine and for their students. This code, or at least a fragment of it, has been handed down in various versions through generations of physicians as the Hippocratic oath.

The oath itself dictates the obligations of a physician to students of medicine and the duties of pupils to teacher. In the oath, the physician pledges to prescribe only beneficial treatments, according to his/her abilities and judgment, to refrain from causing harm or hurt, and to live an exemplary personal and professional way of life.

Before Hippocrates' ideas, people believed that if you were diseased, your body was infested with demons. Archeologists have found skulls with holes drilled through the side. If you were unfortunate enough to be plagued with a headache, the local physician would drill a hole through your head to "allow the demons to escape". (I'm actually surprised that no body knew that. I learnt it in History, and I'm ELEVEN!)

Yes, there is plenty of evidence that suggests the Ancient Greeks included meditation techniques in their mystical tradition. There is also reason to believe that the Ancient Greeks and Romans were aware of Indian traditions (Yoga, etc.). Some travel and trade took place between East and West in ancient times. Some techniques are hinted at in the writings of Plotinus and Marcus Aurelius (a Roman).

Today, Eastern Christians (Orthodox Churches) practice a form of prayer/meditation called "The Jesus Prayer" or "The Prayer of the Heart." The tradition which gave rise to this practice stretches back to Plotinus through monks, ascetics and Pseudo-Dionysius the Areopagite. It bears a striking resemblance to Eastern mantra meditation. You can read about the practice in a book called "The Way of a Pilgrim."

βουνό (vounό)

....is the MODERN (Demotic) Greek word for "mountain"; the classical (ANCIENT) Greek word is :

όρος (oros)

...its few remaining persistences in demotic-Greek usage notably include the Hagion Oros, or "Holy Mountain" monastery in Chalkidike, Macedonia (the authentic, Greek one), as well as the towns of Argos Orestikon and Orestiada (in Macedonia and Thrace, respectively), named after Orestes (Gr: "Mountaineer"), son of Agamemnon, and hero of Aeschylus' "Oresteia" trilogy of plays dealing with the House of Atreus.

son of Kronos born 238 b.c.

The Doric column was unique in that it had a plain round capital or top and that it had no base. It stood directly on the floor of whatever it was supporting.
