Ancient Greece

Athens turned the league which it led against the Persian Empire into an empire of its own. Using the power of this empire to bully other city-states. The Peloponnesian League led by Sparta called Athens on its attempt to bankrupt its neighbour Megara, a member of their league, an overconfident Athens persisted, resulting in a destructive war which Athens lost, and was stripped of its empire.

well, olives for one thing. they were a huge producer of olives, which, by the way, were a gift to the people of Athens from Athena when she and Poseidon were fighting over the same city. it was chosen as the greater gift and she won.

When you die you go to Hades, which is the underworld/afterlife and not hell as some people believe. Dead bodies were buried with coins on their eyes to pay the ferryman Charon with, so that he would carry them across the River Styx to Hades. Cerberus the 3 headed dog guards the entrance to the underworld along with some other challenges for the living who try to enter. When the dead arrive they go to the plain of judgement, where the bad people are sent to the fields of punishment or Tartarus, the deep pit, to pay for their bad deeds, or given individual punishments if their crimes warrant it. The good go to the Elysian fields an equivalent of heaven, and everyone else goes to the Fields of Asphodel, which is basically limbo. Heros can choose to be reincarnated rather than go to Elysium, and if they live 3 good lives and earn Elysium all 3 times they can go to the Isle of Heros where the greatest Heros of mythology go.

The ancient Greeks worshiped each god in separate ways but basically, each god or goddess has a major temple and holiday, and in that temple, the Greeks would pray to that certain god or goddess, asking for favors in what they rule and control. During holidays, the god or goddess was worshiped with dances, feasts, prayers and sacrifices, each sacrifice varying from god to god. For example, a famous temple is the Parthenon, worshiping Athena (or Minerva in roman mythology). A famous holiday was the Olympics, honoring Zeus. A famous sacrifice was a white bull to Poseidon.

The Spartans made their own war aims, they did not ask Athens for them.

The Twelve Tables came about as a result of the long social struggle between patricians and plebeians. After the expulsion of the last king of Rome, Tarquinius Superbus, the Republic was governed by a hierarchy of magistrates. Initially only patricians were eligible to become magistrates and this, among other plebeian complaints, was a source of discontent for plebeians. In the context of this unequal status, plebeians would take action to secure concessions for themselves using the threat of secession. They would threaten to leave the city with the consequence that it would grind to a halt, as the plebeians were Rome's labor force. One of the most important concessions won in this class struggle was the establishment of the Twelve Tables, establishing basic procedural rights for all Roman citizens as against one another.

The Greeks developed two types of play writing: comedy and tragedy. The Greeks have also made many influential contributions in philosophy, music, mathematics, and science that created an impact on Western civilization, while at the same time simultaneously participating in the Peloponnessian wars and the Persian wars.

The English term 'tragic flaw' means a character flaw or error of a tragic hero that leads to his downfall. It is not necessarily a very helpful concept, as a lot of tragic heroes do not appear to have them, and English students are forced to go to quite ridiculous lengths to find them.

Actually, they ate quite a lot of meat.

Just bear in mind that whenever they'd sacrifice animals to the gods, they'd then eat the meat themselves. They wouldn't have left it go to waste.

For example, only for one festival of Zeus, they'd sacrifice 100 bulls.

The Royal Road was built by Darius to unite the sparse kingdoms he had conquered. The road was about 20ft. wide and stretched around 15,000 miles connecting North Africa and India and everything in between. There was an inn every few miles in which travelers could exchange their tired horses for fresh rested ones. There were also guards along the road making it the safest way to get across Persia.

The Norse, Greeks and Romans had a different relation with their gods than some present day religions. The gods of those cultures basically ignored humans except as a form of entertainment. The gods were forever stirring things up, mating with mortals etc. There was some praying going on, but the main intent was a vague hope that the gods wouldn't be bad to you if you showed you liked them.This becomes evident in the Illiad and Odyssey when the heroes are ever being helped and hindered by the gods for some unknown end.

In the ancient civilizations, statues demonstrated power or beauty. They could be used to relic past events, ruling power, or wealth. But, in Chinese and Egyptian times, statues could be used as traditional relics.

300 Spartan armoured warriors who were the bodyguard of King Leodidas, one of the two kings of Sparta, and about 2000 of their supporting light infantry.

Most of the remainder of the delaying force at Thermopylai, of about 7000 from other Greek cities, got away safely because the Spartan force stayed back to cover their withdrawal and died selflessly to let them get away.
