Ancient Greece

And in 80 BCE the Jewish King Alexander Jannaeus demolished the city 'because the inhabitants would not agree to adopt the national custom of the Jews' ie Convert to Judaism.

Greeks did not have gladiators. This was a Roman custom, which originated in having gladiators fight as part of funeral celebrations for kings and nobles.

The Peloponnesian Leage, which is the name e have given today to it.

The Greeks at the time called it 'Sparta and its allies'.

It was Greek (=Hellenic, but we name it Hellenistic because it was like Greek, not full blown universal), introduced by the Macedonians into the Persian Empire after it was taken over by Alexander and split into kingdoms by his generals after he died. The culture was superficial, amongst the ruling Macedonians and Greeks - the mass of people continued their own cultures.

The ancient Greeks in, say, the Golden Age of ancient Greece, used:

A bronze breastplate (=failaxe), a Bronze helmet (=kranos), a leather shield coated with bronze (=aspis) and kneepads (=periknimides)

As offensive weapons they used an iron short sword(=xifos) about 40-50cm long, a heavy spear(=dory) 8 feet long, made of oak with an iron tip which was used for close combat, a light spear(=akondio) made for throwing. Other throwing weapons used at the time were the longbow(=toxo) and the sling(=sfendona).

In the era of Alexander the Great, a new offensive weapon was introduced, the sarrisa, which was a 30ft long spear.

Sparta didnt have a patron god, a god protector of the city (like Athens had Athena).

They worship all 12 gods but they felt closer to Zeus as they consider them descendants of Hercules, son of Zeus.

Homer was the Greek poet who wrote about the courage and loyalty of soldiers.

No. Jesus came thousands of years After the Greeks.

At the time of the Peloponnesian War (431-404 BCE) Israel was under control of the Persian Empire, and so in no position to intervene in any of the Greek wars, not that it would have had any reason to meddle in Greek affairs anyway.

In the democratic period, they met in assembly and divided and were counted on motions raised.

All the Greek houses had a yard where the children could play and the women could work, probably spinning wool. The roof was made out of clay tiles. The walls were made out of mud bricks. The floor was the Earth. The windows on the house were small. The windows had shutters that were closed during winter. The doors were made out of wood. Wood was expensive because it was rare in Greece. There was a statue called Hermes in front of the house so the house will be protected from evil spirits.

Thucydides History of the Peloponnesian War.

They quarried the rock and brought it on rollers or ships to the site, carved it with chisels, and lifted it upright with pulleys and rope.

The statue of Zeus at Olympus was 13 metres tall; Athena at Athens was 12.8 metres.

A different sort was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world - the Colossus of Rhodes - 30 metres high and constructed of iron tie bars with brass plates fixed to form the skin.

As the Romans expanded their empire to the east, they intruded into Greece. It started with retribution against Macedonia for its support of Carthage during the Second Punic War, the in taking sided in inter-Greek wars, and finally simply to incorporate the Greek world within its empire.

Alexander The Great didn't continue into central asia because his army was tired and exhausted from fighting and since they were tired he couldn't build it by himself. Hope This Works.:)

Ancient Greek friezes were used to tell stories and worship the gods and goddess. They were found in wealthy people's homes and on the top of columns temples like the Parthenon ( a temple in Athens made to worship Athena). Hope this helps!

Firstly, most of the panoply of arms to qualify as a warrior remained bronze - the armour and helmet. The steel spearhead was just better than the bronze one. And none of it was cheap.

More important citizenship depended on the full panapoly of arms, which could be inherited, bought or taken from a fallen enemy. So the ordinary citizen got his status from one of these methods.

The ordinary citizen, who was an armoured warrion, was also a farmer, who was prepared to fight to protect his livelihood. So they were part of a community which banded together to defend their properties.

Thus the city-state depended on its citizens, and the citizens depended on the city-state to provide the power of the combined citizen-soldiers and the sanctuary of its walls. Government came to be exercised by these soldier-farmers as they held ultimate response power. The distribution of power became a negotiable compromise between the aristocracy and the farmers on whom they relid.

greek philosophy is not a certain type of philosophy. Greece is the place where philosophy was born. that's all.

the religion started since the beginning of time (according to your belief for instance if you believe in evolution then you wont believe that it was around since the beginning of time)
