Ancient Greece

The invention of the principles of perspective

In a long long history of poleis named Sparta,among others,Thebes did defeat Sparta.But the event was quite late in Spartan history when not much of the famous system was existing anymore,not hard armored hoplites,superior trained troops..In that time (early 4th BC) there were only few hundred of Spartan citizen soldiers existing in the city.

Hellenization, but now you have to do some research instead of lying on your bed and expecting someone else to do your schoolwork for you.

It was a direct democracy - no members of parliament to distort the public will. Decisions were made by the whole people in assembly, meting fortnightly. The council put matters before them, executed their decisions, and administered routine business between meetings.

In the law courts there were no judges and lawyers to muddy the waters. Large juries of several hundred decided on both guilt and punishment. The large juries were in effect equivalent to a modern opinion poll of what the citizens thought right.

All adult males were eligible to carry any political or public office (except generals, who were selected on ability for obvious self-protection reasons). The difference in ability of individuals was camouflaged/evened out by having panels of ten filling each office, in the expectation that at least one would have common sense. And it spread the money around, with half the populace on the public payroll.

All adult males served in the army and navy, meeting their mutual responsibility to protect themselves and the state.

It existed best when Athens had an empire it had made out of harnessing the other cities of the anti-Persian league and extorting money from them, which it used for its own benefit. This enabled the large numbers on the public payroll without crippling taxes.

Macedonia established dominance of mainland Greece, exercised through control of a majority of votes in the Amphictyonic League and Philip II's recognition as Hegemon (leader) of Greece.

The subsequent Macedonian invasion and takeover of the Persian Empire absorbed the military manpower of the Greek cities and so their habitual fighting amongst each other was curtailed. The ensuing Hellenistic kingdoms established by Alexander the great's generals continued to maintain control and dominance of the Greek city-states.

Plato is a part of "The Big Three" (alongside Socrates and Aristotle) and considered one of the Founders of Western Philosophy. His contributions to philosophy, science, ethics, and logic had permanently impacted the entire Western world and still does today. His teachings are the basis for many religious doctrines and beliefs, especially those of the Roman-Catholic Church. The pupil of Socrates, Plato would go on to mentor Aristotle-yet another philosophical scholar who's considered to be one one of the most important figures in ancient Western history.

There have been some skeptics who criticize his philosophical positions; however, virtually all of them are still either widely accepted or debated in modern society. Plato was a mathematician and a brilliant philosopher. He speculated and challenged some of the most complex aspects of human existence, including ethics and morality, as well politics and the very foundations of society. Without him, the Western world would probably not be anywhere near as developed as it is today.

Throughout the Mediterranean and Black Seas.

They were rallying calls for the Greeks.

The Athenian success at Marathon demonstrated to the other Greek cities that the Persians could be beaten.

Thermopylae became another symbol for Greek steadfastness which was used by the Greeks for propaganda on the superiority of the Greek warrior.

The two founders of Greek historical writing were Herodotus and Thucydides. While they had different styles, they attempted to be truthful and forthright.

The Moors were a North African tribe who followed Islamic beliefs, The Moors first conquered southern Italy, Sicily Spain, Portugal and the islands of the west Mediterranean sea, including Sardinia and Corsica. Spain was its most dominant stronghold after ruling for over 800 years prior to the dark ages, the moors also traveled north of Spain to Ireland and conquered Britain's Germanic and Celtic tribes of Scotland wales and England.

The moors were a dark race of north African decedents of the biblical kingdom of Judah, Hebrews, prior to the Arabic takeover of north Africa of which they converted from Christianity to Islam. The term Moor ''Moreno'' meaning black or dark skinned, The Moors were renowned for being masters of architecture, sailer's, and warrior like conquerers. the fall of The Moors took place across western Europe during the dark ages of which the change in monarchy and European leadership changed hands, Caucasians assembled there royal thrones and replaced leaderships in Spain and Britain about the time of the renaissance period ''rebirth'', a rebirth of European culture in architecture, art , writings and in general society as a whole. The Moors were pushed back into the interiors of Africa and settled along the West coast, these once ancient kings of the Hebrew kingdom of Israel, monarchs of Spain and Britain now dwellers of West African nations such as the ivory coast, Nigeria, Ghana, etc, a vast majority of this royal seed are the afro inhabitants of Brazil, North America and the Caribbean islands due to the Trans Atlantic Slave Trade, upon slavery and conquer by the Caucasians during the New World, former remembrance of any black history had to be either destroyed, or whitewashed in order to appear superior, the ''dark ages'' really testifies namely to defeat of the dark race and there presence in Europe.

Each of the ten Athenian tribes elected a general. It was an annual appointment, so there ware thousands of them over time.

The Ancient Greeks drank wine all day long! Some children and adults drank water but; this was risky as wells could be poisoned or have deadly diseases such as cholera and polio.

There were paintings in ancient greece, but due to decomposition we dont have many findings. Well preserved paintings (in walls) we can find in the palace of Knossos (Minoan civilization).

if you really wanted to know this that bad i would recemond you using another website because you can not always trust the things these people say

Hoplite tactics modified Greek political norms primarily due to their equipment requirement. The Greek hoplite was well armored, and bronze chestpieces, helmets, and greaves not to mention weaponry and shield were only attainable by those of a certain wealth. This concentrated military power in the hands of an elite, giving many what they would feel should be more say in how the government operates. With leading citizens as critical components to Grecian armies, it becomes easier to see how "Deomcratic" trends emerged. Let us not forget that in many Greek cities the ratio of Citizens to Slaves was quite unfavorable to the Citizens. Hoplite warfare, by requiring expensive arms excluded the underclasses and allowed the social elite to monpolize force. Addendum: We should not overemphasise the elite division of population. The normal hoplite was a small farmer (peasant in later terminology). Indirect sources indicate that they probably had property of perhaps 2,000 drachma, which at a 10 percent return amounts to 200 dr annual income (in produce). At the prices which we have record for for wheat, there would barely be enough to feed a family of five with a slave, and maintain a ploughing ox (Socrates who was an hoplite admitted to property of 300 dr, though that was during general impoverishment during the Peloponnese War). So the average hoplite lived an economically uncertain life, which could in our terms be described as a life of grinding poverty. And Athenian farms were mostly too infertile to raise wheat, so they had to live on inferior grains. As for the cost of arms, most obviously were passed from father to son, and other sons equipped from battlefield spoils (which is why the emphasis in the literature on stripping the dead, and fighting over ownership of the armour). So the 'elite' class was in fact the mostly the ordinary farmer, and the reason he was prepared to fight was to protect his farm. The bottom third of the citizenry was the unpropertied class. However they had the opportunity to earn subsistence rowing in the navy (in Athens anyway). So power was basically in the hands of two thirds of the population - the hoplites. The Greek word oligarchy means rule of the few, but it didn't really have to be a few. A narrow oligarchy might have a small number of richer men dominant, but aristocracies were generally overthrown and replaced by tyrannies - a popular man prepared to give a fair deal to the broad base of people, but who had to keep a bodyguard to avoid the aristocrats seizing power again. Democracies progressively replaced the tyrants when the mass of small farmers gained the confidence to take over governance of the city-state. A measure of who was in the elite can be gauged not by the hoplite class but by the cavalry. In these poor farming countries, few could afford to keep a horse. Athens' cavalry amounted to about 50, as opposed to a hoplite strength of something over 30,000 in the late 5th Century BCE.

Socrates and others were made to drink poison.

I think it's polytheism and war because war was part of their religion. Other than that I think it's in your textbook
