Ancient Greece

He's not Greek, he's Roman, Mars

Greece is mountainous and settlement grew up in separated fertile areas which became independent city-states.

British aristocrats tend to wear clothing that is non-flashy and often rural. Men wear suits that are dark and un-trendy, or wool trousers, dress shirts and pullovers. Women usually wear clothing that's a bit masculine and un-sexy, like tweed skirts, shirts and cardigans with sensible shoes. Outerwear is often country-focused, like Barbour waxed-cloth jackets or tweed hacking jackets. Men's ties tend to reflect the schools they attended, clubs they belong to, or regiments they served in. Jewelry is usually very limited except for special, formal occasions. Men favor bespoke clothing from their tailor, or off-the-peg clothes from middle-class retailers like Marks & Spencer; women go directly for M&S, with some nicer pieces from William Evans or other traditional clothiers. British aristocrats are loathe to wear anything fashionable or with a status logo on it. "Serviceable" is a key word for both genders. Clothes and accessories are often handed down from parents or older siblings, and there's no shame in damage that's repaired. The key is understatement and "honest use". In general, they hate to have to buy or wear anything new. You will never find a British aristocrat wearing by Ralph Lauren or other "designers" who try to pass their stuff off as "British aristocrat wear".

In his early years, Alexander was raised by his nurse, Lanike, the sister of Alexander's future friend and general Cleitus the Black. Later on in his childhood, Alexander was tutored by the strict Leonidas, a relative of his mother, and by Lysimachus.

When Alexander was ten years old, a horse trader from Thessaly brought Philip a horse, which he offered to sell for thirteen talents. The horse refused to be mounted by anyone, and Philip ordered it to be taken away. Alexander, however, detected the horse's fear of his own shadow and asked for a turn to tame the horse, which he eventually managed. According to Plutarch, Philip, overjoyed at this display of courage and ambition, kissed him tearfully, declaring: "My boy, you must find a kingdom big enough for your ambitions. Macedon is too small for you", and bought the horse for him. Alexander would name the horse Bucephalus, meaning "ox-head". Bucephalus would be Alexander's companion throughout his journeys as far as India. When Bucephalus died (due to old age, according to Plutarch, for he was already thirty), Alexander named a city after him (Bucephala).

When Alexander was thirteen years old, Philip decided that Alexander needed a higher education, and he began to search for a tutor. Many people were passed over including Isocrates and Speusippus, the latter of whom was Plato's successor at the Academy and who offered to resign to take up the post. In the end, Philip offered the job to Aristotle, who accepted, and Philip gave them the Temple of the Nymphs at Mieza as their classroom. In return for teaching Alexander, Philip agreed to rebuild Aristotle's hometown of Stageira, which Philip had razed, and to repopulate it by buying and freeing the ex-citizens who were slaves, or pardoning those who were in exile.

Mieza was like a boarding school for Alexander and the children of Macedonian nobles, such as Ptolemy, Hephaistion, and Cassander. Many of the pupils who learned by Alexander's side would become his friends and future generals, and are often referred to as the 'Companions'. At Mieza, Aristotle educated Alexander and his companions in medicine, philosophy, morals, religion, logic, and art. From Aristotle's teaching, Alexander developed a passion for the works of Homer, and in particular the Iliad; Aristotle gave him an annotated copy, which Alexander was to take on his campaigns

When Alexander became sixteen years old, his tutorship under Aristotle came to an end. Philip, the king, departed to wage war against Byzantion, and Alexander was left in charge as regent of the kingdom. During Philip's absence, the Thracian Maedi revolted against Macedonian rule. Alexander responded quickly; he crushed the Maedi insurgence, driving them from their territory, colonised it with Greeks, and founded a city named Alexandropolis.

Depends on the city-state.

Most city-states (predominantly Athens) were engaged in trade with places from all over the world to keep a supply of grain and other supplies.

Others, like Sparta, conquered other lands and got food from them.

The Greek city-states had an overabundance of people. The people were more fertile than their land, and with no TV to watch, kept their populations growing rapidly. As most farms were about a hectare, on which to raise grain for their staple diet of bread, plus fruit, vegetables, and feed their ploughing ox, they could not be split up between several sons, so these sons had to either become landless labourers or seek land elsewhere - either capture it off a neighbouring city, which was equally eyeing their land, or migrate elsewhere to take land. Even the incessant wars between the Greek cities could not reduce this growing population surplus nearly enough.

So from the Ninth Century BCE onwards, the city-states of mainland Greece sent out ships with colonists to establish new cities in other areas around the Mediterranean - to Asia Minor and the Islands, the Black Sea, North Africa, Italy, Sicily, Sardinia, Corsica, Southern France and Spain.

So Greece was not an entity - it was the Greek world - many hundreds of independent city-states scattered around the Mediterranean and Black Sea littorals. And many of these new cities themselves became over-populated and sent out colonies of their own, having to find space for these ever-expanding human resources.

In the Greek mythology, Dyonisus, the God of wine and grape harvest, although not extrictly the God of theater, it was during the festivities dedicated to him that the dramatic representations took place, during the festivals called 'City Dionysia'.

The festivals were mainly religious events, and also a social occasionfor greeks to get together and enjoy the excitement of plays and athletic events.

Yes the athenians had the allies in many different wars. Like in the pelopenisian war they had the allies of corinth, Sparta, megara, (not argos because they refused to be in the war), Rhodes and many of the other city states. Athens was a city of democracy!

No, not really. The only 'religion' they have is greek!

Many of the oracles in greek mythology were considered to be virgin women. As it is in most cases relating to other cultures with Oracles or seers of their own. However i believe there was one cases where there was a male oracle. Which might have been related to the fact his twin sister was an oracle too. Or as other say, gifted with the second sight.

The first section is learning school subjects, the second section was about music and the arts, and the third section was military training.
