Ancient Greece

For the nearly 200 city-states exposed to Persian domination, protection (at a price). This benefit ceased when the Persians agreed to a peace which kept them out of the area, but Athens continued to levy the price and spend the money on a fleet not against the Persians but to continue collecting the money, by force if necessary, and spent it on its own city beautification and public service.

There were several - the most notable were Salamis (in the Saronic Gulf between the island of Salamis and Athens in 480; Mykale in Asia Minor 479 BCE and Eurymedon in Asia Minor 466 BCE.

Athens led a league of 180 Greek city-states after the Persian invasion had been driven back to preserve the independence of those cities which had been under Persian rule. After the Persian Empire gave up trying to impose peace on these Greek cities, Athens kept control of them, turned them into an empire of its own. It lived high on the proceeds and kept a large fleet which forcibly collected the annual funds levied for defence against Persia, but now used by Athens for its own benefit.

-when they say "who" they refer to a group of people.

in Sparta the boys had two leave their familys at age 7. but in Sparta they only had to fight at times of war.

The answer they are looking for is democracy.

After the reforms of Solon, all male landowners of property gained the vote, and any such man could be elected into office, women, slaves, and xenoi (resident foreigners, Greeks, but not Athenians) could not vote. Practically everything was decided by some form of election, and it has been estimated that every male landowner in Athens will have served in the administration at some point in his life.

Antipater ruled the Macedonia and the rest of Greece after Alexander the Great died.

1. Loss of their allies.

1. The citizenship was definitely different. In Greece you had to be a free, native born, landowning, male. In Rome your parents had to be born there, you had to serve in the army, or you could buy citizenship. 2.The ancient Greeks were either a democracy, oligarchy, or monarchy. It depended which city- state you were in. Greece had such a divided land because of the geography, they couldn't stay in just one type of government. But Rome was all together so it was mostly a republic. This type of government is where citizens vote for their leader, the leader doesn't come from a dynasty unless the Senate tells them different. 3. When the people in the army volunteered in Greece, Rome did too until a general came along named,Marius. He became a consul in 107 B.C. He began to recruit soldiers from the poor, in return he paid them and promised them land.

The reason that some city states were semi democratic and others weren't is because the city states were constantly at war with one another, and didn't communicate with each other that much as is

The Ancient Greek men mainly pierced themselves. They did this in the Olympics to please the gods.

The competition was between a temporarily-dominant Sparta, Athens trying to rebuild itself after its disasterous defeat in the Peloponnesian War, and the rising power of Thebes. They wore each other out, leaving the way for Macedon to become dominant.

The Roman language was Latin. Of course the everyday language of Rome was based on the language of the Romans. Latin heavily influenced the Languages if Italy, Gaul (France), Hispania (Spain) Lusitania (Portugal) and Dacia (Romania). So much so that the modern languages of these countries are derived from Latin. Latin probably influenced the languages of other areas of the Roman Empire, but these were replaced by languages of the the conquests and large scale immigrations of Germanic peoples, Slavs and Arabs into areas of the Roman Empire. Latin was also the language of administration throughout the empire.

Latin influenced the everyday life of Greece only in so far as it was the language of administration. It did not influence the Greek language. The Romans elites received an education in both Latin and Greek and were fluent in Greek.

Well in 1829 the Treaty of Adrianople confirmed Greek and Serbian independence. The treaty also gave Russia the right of free access to the Mediterranean sea. The Greek national assembly elected a Greek diplomat as their first president. However, the conservative monarchs of Europe did not want the revolutionary ideas of democracy, nationalism, and republicanism to spread. They refused to recognize Greek independence unless Greece became a monarch and soon picked a noble European prince to be the king of Greece. Prince Otto of Bavaria (in Germany) was chosen and ruled Greece for 30 years.

Most of what we learned came from the ancient greeks

The tyrants replaced the aristocrats as rulers of the city-states. Aristocrats are members of rich and powerful families and ruled most city states. A middle class of merchants and artisans developed, wanting a say in government. Gradually, strength in cities shifted from aristocrats to merchants and artisans. As a result, aristocratic government was replaced by rulers called tyrants. <---- this was an essay question on one of my tests in 6th grade- I got an A :) !

Many practices in ancient Greek medical treatment are ascribed to Hippocrates, but very little is known about whether he instituted them himself of whether other or later physicians of his "school" instituted them. Most of our knowledge about him comes from the Greek physician Soranus who lived about 200 years after his death, making it difficult to separate fact from fiction.

Reasonably certain is that his major contribution was the insight that illnesses were not sent by the gods, but that they had natural causes. Furthermore he probably did start the practice of systematically analyzing and describing the symptoms of illnesses, which enabled later physicians to easily recognize illnesses and their recommended treatments. He was the author of a treatise called 'The complicated body', but because of the strict taboo at the time concerning dissection of humans, it would take another 1,500 years before the anatomy of humans was fully and clearly understood.

Herodotus was a Greek writer of the 5th century B.C. who wrote the first Western, historical work in the conventional sense of the term history. He is therefore known as the father of history. Writers before him, such as Hecataeus (c.500 B.C.), wrote purely geographical treatises or, if they delved into history, limited themselves to the quasi-mythical events of heroic times.

Greeks exported pottery, wine, and olive oil. In return they received grains and metals from the west, and they received fish, timber, wheat, metals, and slaves from the Black Sea region.

The ancient Greeks were polytheistic so worshipped many gods. Some of the most famous are Athene, Zeus, Aphrodite and Hades. Many of them were renamed by the Romans. For example, these four became Minerva, Jupiter, Venus and Pluto.

Draco produced a code of law, Cleisthenes introduced limited democracy, Pericles brought in radical democracy.

The main characteristics of an ancient Greek theater is that they were open air and without a roof. They were built on a large scale out of stone with steps that people would sit on forming a semi circle around the stage in the middle.
