Ancient Greece

Their shield. It was believed that, if a Spartan returned without their shield, they had thrown it at the enemy as they ran away from the fight. Fleeing from battle in Sparta was a capital offense.

ANSWER

The actual quote is fiction.

It never appeared in any ancient source but was used today to clearly emphasize the very core of their culture.

Ancient Greek boys were taught by their parents, with wealthy ones taught by a slave teacher.

Rome built many aspects of its culture based on what the Greeks did. Their art was so closely related that historians speak of Greco-Roman art. Architecture also took several examples from Greece. It's worth noting, however, that niether the arch nor the aqueduct came from Greece. The Romans adopted those ideas from the Etruscans. Religion in early Rome basically worshipped the Greek gods under new names. They also developed quite a few philosophies based on Greek philosophy. Earlier teachings led them to come up with stoicism, but that itself is pretty unique to Rome. They also took governmental ideas from the Greeks. It is worth noting that because the Greek city-states were never grouped any closer than the Delian league at the time of the Peloponesian War, every city-state governed itself differently. The Romans adopted democracy from Athens, but changed it to a representative form. Eventually, they evolved into an empire, but also had experience with monarchy, oligarchy and tyranny. One thing that did not pass from Greece to Rome was agriculture. The Greeks raised mainly goats and olives, which were suited to the mountainous terrain on the Peloppenesus. The Romans had the advantage of flat terrain with good soil and water, which allowed for grain to be grown and a wider variety of livestock to be raised.

Ancient Greek houses (oikos) were designed for particular reasons.

There was a courtyard in the middle of the house to get some sun and air; especially for the women as they were banned from leaving the oikos and to get a breeze into the rooms.

There were small windows in the rooms to cool them and the people inside them.

The women's quarters (gynaikon) were upstairs to stop the temptations of cheating and curiosity.

The men's quarters (andron) were downstairs for easy access to outside the oikos for lavish male parties (symposium).

There was an altar in the courtyard to give your offerings personally.

A well was in the courtyard to provide the family with their own personal water.

Hippocrates Asclepiades, "descendant of (the doctor-god) Asclepios," but it is uncertain whether this descent was by family or merely by his becoming attached to the medical profession. Legend likewise places him in the family line of the hero Hercules. Son of Heracleides and Praxithea,

Greece had a number of different states with different political regimes. Greek model of democracy was the democracy of Athens.

The Athenians had a direct form of democracy. This means that instead of electing representatives (such as senators, congressmen of MPs) to make decisions, the citizens themselves voted on legislation by gathering in the Ecclesia, the popular assembly. They also made executive decrees and elected some of the public officials. Originally it also tried political crimes, but later this was transferred to the courts. Athens also had a boule (council) of 500 men (50 men for each Athenian tribe). It prepared draft resolutions for the Ecclesia to debate and vote on. Fifty members of the Boule were selected toform the prytaneis, an executive standing committee. A new chair of the prytaneis was selected by lot every day. The system was a check against personal power. The boule coordinated the activities of public officials and administrative boards, provided randomly selected members for the administrative boards. It had relative latitude in for administrative initiatives because it was supposed to merely execute the will of the Ecclesia.

Although it had limited forms of direct democracy, the Roman Republic was not actually a democracy. It was an oligarchy. It was effectively controlled by the senate. This was an unelected body composed by patricians (aristocrats) and former officers of state. It did not propose legislation or vote on it. It debated policy matters and issued policy instructions. It could also issue decrees. There was not a centralised government, like and admiration or a cabinet. There were five types of officers of state who acted independently within the remit of their offices and who were elected annually (except for the censor whose term of office was 18 months), including the consuls, two heads of the Republic. This turned the senate into a co-ordinating political body. The also senate supervised the treasury and the governors of the provinces (conquered territories) were selected among the senators.

The Romans Republic had three Popular Assemblies. The Assembly of the Soldiers voted on war and peace and elected the higher officers of state (the consuls, praetors and censors). However, its voting system was heavily stacked in favour of the rich. The Assembly of the Tribes elected the lower officers of state the aediles and quaestors). The Plebeian Council was the assembly of the plebeians (the commoners). It was created during a plebeian rebellion. Originally it voted only on matters which regarded only the plebeians. Later it became the main legislative body and the laws it approved became binding on all Roman citizens (including the patricians).

Sparta had a limited number of the armoured infantry (hoplites) which was progressively eroded in battles over 100 years faster than they could breed replacements. They began to use their helots (serfs) to replace the losses, but they were not the same quality heavy infantry, so after the losses of a defeated by Thebes at Leuctra in 371 BCE Sparta could no longer raise a credible army. Although Thebes and Athens were later over-run by Macedonia, Sparta just didn't have the numbers to make a comeback.

The two most well-known playwrights of Greek comedy are Aristophanes, from the era of Old Comedy, and Menander, who produced New Comedy.

The works of Poussin and Lorrain exemplified the use of heroic landscapes.

You need the Greek alphabet which is somewhat different from the Latin alphabet we use - there was no h in it so that is replaced by an apostrophe; ph was the letter phi, which we don't have a symbol for; ae was ai; us was os.

or

eta phi alpha iota sigma tau omicron sigma

Children (males) were sent off to Army camps at the age of 7, I believe. They would train until they were 18. Harsh, harsh training. Being whipped, fighting (almost to the death) with other children and sometimes full-grown men. It was said that the time men were sent into the army, it was a mother's proudest moment.

There was really no choice if you could go in or not. If the child was deformed or handicapped, they would leave the child out to starve, or just murder it. They thought there was no use for those type of children, and they would just slow down the army.

Achilles was killed in Troy by Paris while the Greeks were invading the Trojans.

Watch this link that I've posted, there's two parts. Sorry I would type it here but I'm going to end up writing you an essay. The links clearly explain why Persian's were very important.
