Ancient Greece

The organizer of the Olympic Games is the International Olympic Committee.

Thucydides is important because he is one of the great Greek historians. Thucydides recorded the Peloponnesian war and the outcome of the war.

The Greeks used myths to explain events that they did not understand.

Only by water and very soft cloth, in other case visite experts for more cleaning. The beyty is unclened!!!

I'm not 100%sure, but here goes...

During the Melian Dialogue, Thucydides describes the events of the discussion that takes place between the Greeks of Athens and the inhabitants of the island of Melo, Spartan allies. During the Peloponnesian war, Athens and Sparta created an entire net of allied cities from which they attained men and war funds (in fact, the war lasted circa thirty years, from 431 to 404 bC). Forgoing his usual objectiveness, Thucydides narrates with theatrical pathos how he believes the dialogue might have taken place, and demonstrates how the Athenians reacted to diplomatical refusal.

According to Thucydides' reconstruction, before waging war against the Melians, the Athenians proposed for them to submit willingly to their control, seeing as they wouldn't be getting any help from Sparta, their ally, which was too involved in keeping the homefront protected. Because the Melians refused, the Athenians then subjected the city to a long and devastating battle, killing all young men and enslaving all women, children and seniors.

The powerful empire of Athens imposes an impossible chioce to the inhabitants of Melo, submission or distruction. The Melians try to subtract themselves from this decision by quoting the classical arguments of Greek ethics: they invoke universal justice, and they stress their belief that the Gods will always help those who are just in the end.

The Athenian response is ruthless. Justice exists only where there is equality of strenght, otherwise the stronger act in favour of their greater strength, and the weaker MUST submit to the violence.

There is only ONE eternal law of nature, for men and divinity alike: "wherever there be strength, there be power".

The period of time we would refer to as 'ancient' in Greece spans several centuries, and just as the cost of a good suit is several times higher today than it was 100 years ago, the price of a chiton would have varied across time. And of course there were probably the equivalent of "designer labels" and "discount store brands" even in those days. I have seen the value of one tetradrachma compared to 73 cents today, but since it was 230 grains of silver (almost half a troy ounce), its buying power 2000 or 2500 years ago would have been significant. I would guess that one silver tetradrachma would have purchased a very nice tunic.

Ancient Greece expanded to an Empire under the leadership of Alexander the Great between the years 332 and 323 BCE. Part of this Empire was absorbed by the Roman Empire at 56 BCE [last area conquered Egypt]

Canadian Equestrian athlete Ian Millar has participated in 10 Olympic games as of 2012.

Millar and would have participated in 11 games since he was on the Canadian Olympic team for Moscow in 1980, but Canada boycotted the Olympics that year.

Millar also hopes to participate in Brazil in 2016 and has no plans to retire.

Next after Millar is Austrian sailor Hubert Raudaschl who competed in 9 consecutive Summer Olympics between 1964-1996.

I LITTERALY DONT GIVE A shiet WHY BRO

The Greeks were such prolific breeders that not even their constant wars could contain a burgeoning population. As each city-state had very limited productive land, they could not divide small family farms up amongst several sons, so these became landless and therefore a problem. So the cities loaded the surplus on ships and sent them off to seize land from the inhabitants and establish new city-states for themselves. This way the Greek world grew to over 2,000 independent city-states spread around the Mediterranean and Black Seas.

The letter X was the symbol of their letter called Chi. So one word would be Christos (Christ), which is the reason that Christmas (Christ's Mass) is often abbreviated to Xmas.

he helped because he taught people doctors i should say not to purposly hurt there patients. he was know as the father of medicine

Trojan War 12th Century BCE, Peloponnesian War 5th Century BCE.

They loaded the surplus population on ships and sent them off to other regions around the Mediterranean and Black Seas to seize land and establish new city-states for themselves. This took the burden of the mother city.

The battle of Marathon was won by the city-state of Athens, not the Greeks.

The Persians had arranged for the party of the ousted tyrant of Athens to open the gates of the city. They kept the Athenian army lurking in the hills for 10 days around the plain of Marathon to avoid the Persian cavalry. When the cavalry was loaded onto ships to be taken around the Sunion peninsula to land and gallop up to the gates which would be opened by pro-Persian traitors, the Athenians dashed down to the plain and defeaed the inferior Persian infantry, now without the decisive cavalry support of which the Athenians had been fearful.

After this victory, the Athenian army ran back over the hills the 26 miles (origin of today's marathon run!) to Athens in time to form up in front of the city as the Persian cavalry landed. The Persians went home.

The Empire was initially taken by conquest, then supplemented by diplomacy, bribery and further conquest. They established a system of governance based on local government, provincial Persian government, and central control. Taxes were levied to support this and the land and naval forces to sustain internal and external security.

Its cost - the y wanted the money spent on themselves rather than on a temple, of which they already had several.

Alexander the Great died at the age of 33 because of a fever and because he died no leaders in his empire were strong enough to take control so it later fell apart after a few years

According to legend, on his deathbed Alexander said he left his empire "to the Strongest". This led to the division of the Empire amongst his various generals as no actual successor was named. Therefore, although Alexander didn't actually 'lose' his empire, per se, he was indirectly responsible for it's disintegration.

Not much is known becuase there are very few archaeological finds and the Greeks did not write about this. One archaeological find, the Tunnel of Eupalinos on the island of Samos, was an underground water conduit.
