Ancient Greece

The Greek epic poet Homer compiled the orally passed down sagas, stories and legends of their national heros and is believed to have made them into books such as The Illiad and The Odessey on papyrus rolls, but no evidence seems to have remained. His version of those stories also were passed down orally from mouth to mouth for many more generations as learning and writing had not yet become a popular fashion and massive production of books and educational institutions had not then established itself, though his works had been popular even then, and writing on slabs and rolls had already been developed considerably.

In Ancient Greece, Hermes was a phallic god of boundaries. His name, in the form herma, was applied to a wayside marker pile of stones; each traveller added a stone to the pile.

How did Myron create a feeling of movement

In Greece democracy meant power by the people. In democratic Athens the citizens gathered in the assembly of the people made all the decisions and voted on laws. The executive was there to carry out the will of the people. The Roman Republic instead was an oligarchy. Although the people could vote on laws and elect the officers of state, the most powerful political body was the senate, whose senators were not elected and were members of the oligarchy.

its a god..... no one has seen him... lol

The people probably entered Europe as nomads perhaps over three thousand years ago in the movement of peoples westward who provided the basis for the Italian and Greek peoples, and settled in north central Italy where they established a distinctive culture.

He was born in Greece (Corfu), but is not Greek by descent, as his appearance demonstrates.

When the Greeks wanted to restore the monarchy in 1911, they needed to import a family that knew the ropes, so they offered the crown to a minor branch of the Danish royal family. The new King's nephew was Prince Philip's father.

On his mother's side, Prince Philip is German. She was a Battenberg (Mountbatten).

1. Splitting the superior Persian fleet - sending false information to the Persian commander that they would seek to escape from the strait at Salamis through the exit to the west past Mxxxx. This caused the Persians to send a third of his fleet around to block this, and the odds in the battle were evened.

2. Also suggesting to the Persian commander that the Athenian contingent might defect. This kept the Persian fleet at sea at the oars all night and they were exhusted when they attacked the following morning.

3. The Greek fleet remained in the strait near Salamis, which meant the Persian fleet had to split and enter the bay of Salamis around both sides of the island of Psyttalia in two lines and were strung out, allowing the waiting Greek ships to attack the flanks of the lines.

4. With the fight in the narrow waters of the bay, the heavier Persian ships were vulnerable to the lighter more manoeuverable Greek ships using their rams to sink them.

A well thought out plan, which succeeded. The Greeks had learnt from their previous failed attempt at Artemesion next to Thermopylai.

The Battle of Thermopylae was a defeat for the Greeks and therefore had no major influence on history. It merely held up the Persian advance for a while and provided a romantic image of military bravery for people in the future to look back upon.

The Battle of Marathon and the Battle of Salamis were much more important. These were the battles that, unlike Thermopylae, defeated the Persian invasions of Greece and secured the freedom of the Greek city states.

Since the Greek city states were the basis of European civilization, historically, it was important they remained free or the entire history of the world from then on would have been quite different!

He strongly believed in a democracy even though he was born into a family of aristocrats. He believed in fairness and everyone being treated equally.

Cause in Greece people could not get through the mountanous north so they did all their hunting and traveling by sea and they needed harbours to launch ships.

Often by ramming them with specially-constructed rams built into the ship structure. Persian ships did the same but being larger usually tried to board. The agility of the Athenian ships gave an advantage.

There is little known about Homer. Facts known include he was born between the 8th and 12 centuries B.C. Homer was a poet and credited with being the first person to write down The Iliad and The Odyssey. It is not known where he was born but it is believed it was somewhere on the coast of Asia Minor and his date of death is debated as well.

The statues, The art from Greece is beautiful.

They were the first believe of the Greeks. Then there was no explanation for the things that happened to them. Now we use their names because of the myths told about them.

There was not rivalry. Sparta, although militarily powerful, was usually reluctant to go to war. Athens, overconfident with the power it gained from its empire, was aggressive and interfered in the affairs of other cities. Sparta appealed to Sparta to back off when it tried to bankrupt Megara, a member of the Peloponnesian League, A rampant Athens persisted and war ensued.

Only kids could vote.

Currently there is no king of Sparta. The city of Sparta no longer exists. If it did exist it would be part of Greece and it would have a mayor, not a king.

They were strong leaders that the people needed.
