The Persians, having defeated their other target Eritea, turned on Athens, which was supported by its ally Plataia. The third ally Sparta was engaged in a religious festival and by the time they arrived the battle was over.

No to the answer below. Greece is from the Latin Grecia which is what the Romans called Hellas[Greece] & the Hellenes[Greeks] is what Greeks call[ed] themselves, here is an explanation:

Greece is called Hellas or [H]Ellada by the Greek people. But since the ancient days they have stopped pronouncing the "H". The question "where does the word Greece come from?" has arisen. The word Greece comes from the Romans. From a Greek colony in Magna Grecia (Sicily and Southern Italy) one of the first Greek groups that the Romans came into contact with. Since these Hellenics lived in a place the Romans called Magna Grecia, they were called Grecians or Greek. The name just stuck.

because they are from Greece

They just added a suffix that sounded nice i guess.

We do not know much about the actual timing of the Trojan War, so this will focus on what is written in The Iliad and The Odyssey. The first issue is that the beachhead was difficult for the Greeks to take. The ground was strongly sloped and the Trojans had the high-ground. The second major issues is that Ancient Greeks did not have sophisticated siege weaponry, which meant that it was effectively impossible for them to breach the Trojan Walls surrounding the city until Odysseus came up with the idea of the Trojan Horse, which allowed for the Trojans to "self-breach" the city walls.

The first thespian was a man by the name of Thespus. He perfected the art of acting and created a world renown acticing technique that is still popular today.

Hera forced Ilithyia, a goddess of childbirth, to slow down the birth of Heracles and his twin brother and caused Eurystheus to be born prematurely so that he would be born first and become king. She sent two giant snakes to the chamber of the twins when they were eight months old. She induced a fit of madness into Heracles which made him kill his sons. He guided the oracle of Delphi to direct him to serve king Eurystles and perform all the tasks he asked him. The king gave him ten labour and added two more: the famous twelve labour of Heracles. Hera induced another fit of madness which led him to throwIphitus over the city wall to his death.Iphitus was the brother of a woman she fell in love with and whom he had abducted and his best friend.

yes the Greeks had plays they also had poetry, literacy, and more...Greeks plays were held at cerant places

Edit: Yes, the Greeks did have plays. Tons, actually. A common theme in many of these place was some sort of tragedy. Western theatre was born in Athens, Greece between 600 and 200 BC, created by the Athenians. The tragedy often represented in these Greek plays weren't the sole result of someone's artistic ability, but moreso the result of what was going on in Greece during the time. They were also often designed to show the rights and wrongs in life.

Pliny describes the temple as 377 feet (115 meters) long and 180 feet (55 meters) wide, made almost entirely of marble, making its area about three times as large as the Parthenon. The temple's cella was enclosed in colonnades of 127 Ionic columns, each 60 feet (18 meters) in height.

Homer is an ancient greek poet who wrote to famous epics

I believe it was because the Greeks did not use arches, thus they need more columns to support the roof structure.

It was a written version of the stories the bards used to sing of the legendary looting of Asia Minor by the Greeks, the capture of Troy, and the travels and travails of Odysseus' return to his home in Ithaca.

No , the Greek historian Herodotus (c. 484-425 BC) was not present at the battle of Thermopylae in 480 BC. .

If by spy, you mean the person who betrayed the Spartans, that would be Ephialtes of Trachis.

women look after the house and cook food for the husband and children and look after their physical fitness which was also very important. Men had no work because slaves did everything. Men would spend their free time in the Agora

Where else would expect the ancient Greek sculptures to be other than in Greece. You wil, bowever find some good ones which were removed legally and illegally in museums around the world - try Paris, Berlin, London - the ones there are usually in much better condition than those in Greece, as in recent years the acid rain in places like Athens has defaced statues, and the Greeks did little to prevent this: many of the 'good' ones on display in Athens are copies made of the good ones held overseas.

A Trojan Horse is a giant wood horse that was given to the enemy. They thought it was a gift, until they were attacked by their enemies. The same goes for the virus, it seems harmless at first until your computer is destroyed.

Both Rome and Egypt improved modern day USA - especially the capitol - things such as the obelisk in the capitol, and much of the architecture is Greco-Roman. Both were mainly monotheistic, and both have different civilizations using forms of their old languages today.

Macbeth's desire for power.

Philip II was King of the ancient kingdom state of Macedonia and Alexander the Great's father.

His name is made up of two greek words, ''Philos''=(Friend) + ''Ippos'' =(Horse), so his name would translate into English as:''Friend of Horses''.

Macedonia was one of the ancient Greek city-states, like Athens, Sparta, Molossoe (Epirus) etc.

As a Greek, he was married to a Greek princess, Olympia of Molossoe, from another Greek city-state, west of the Greek city-state of Macedonia.
