Ancient Greece

The earliest school in ancient Greece was the Milesian School founded by Thales, information can be found on the Wikipedia web site, the other great school was founded by Plato. The Platonic Academy. Most children did not attend school, and those that did attended from the age of 7 till about 13 years of age. They learnt about politics and the rules of the assembly, they also learned weaponry ,warrior skills and wrestling.

so the answer is yes =) =p

They used myths to explain why certain events occurred in their everyday lives.

Persia was the superpower of the ancient world (before the rise of Rome); as the Greeks started to experiment with dangerous ideas such as democracy (Persia was autocratic) and citizen armies (Persia relied on mercenaries) it was inevitable that the two systems would come into conflict.

The Achaemenid kings of Persia (Cyrus the Great, Darius I, Xerxes I) were overall successful in expanding their empire, but Darius and Xerxes were aware that their sphere of influence was contained in the west by Hellenic domination of the eastern Mediterranean.

Both Darius and Xerxes accordingly mounted military expeditions against the small Greek city states, assuming that a huge empire such as Persia could simply brush these tiny democracies aside.

The Persian empire eventually spread to include the Greek cities in Asia Minor, the Islands and around the Black Sea. The cities were ruled by Greek tyrants appointed by the Persian provincial governors. As these cities were colonies of cities in mainland Greece, when they tried to throw off Persian rule, they called for help from the mother cities. Miletus did this, and Eretria and Athens responded with military force, which overstepped the mark by burning the Persian provincial capital of Sardis (modern Ankara). Persian emperor Darius mounted a punitive expedition against these two cities to try to put an end to interference in his empire. Eretria was captured and the inhabitants enslaved, but Athens turned back the expedition at Marathon and then in front of the city (490 BCE). Darius decided that, as the Greeks would become more cocky with this victory, the only way he could put an end to the unrest was to absorb mainland Greece and so establish an ethnic frontier. He planned a major expedition to subjugate all the cities there and install puppet tyrants as he had done in Asia. Darius died, however his son Xerxes continued with the idea, and invaded in 480 BCE. This too failed after defeats at Salamis (480 BCE), Plataia and Mykale (479 BCE). Thereafter there were subsequent confrontations with battles at Eurymedon and the Nile delta. It was all eventually resolved a century later by Macedonia when Alexander conquered the Persian empire.

hippocrates. he was known as the gadfly of athens and was sentenced to death by drinking hemlock. he drank it calmly and then sat and talked casually to his disciples, wauting for the poison to take affect.

I believe it is art, my second guess would be music though

Women did not participate in the Ancient Olympics. Only Greek speaking men were allowed to participate.

Exception: in the chariot-race the owner of the horses was considered to be the competitor, and got the prize if they won. Women could put their horses in for the chariot race, and were considered competitors when they did.

They were established by Greek tribes which seized and settled an agriculturally viable section of land, developed a defensible city as its core, and established a government to coordinate their laws, defence and trade. They defended this territory against other cities and invaders, and so became fiercely protective of their independence.

Rome comes from the word 'romance' like romans.

Ancient Greeks taught in many places, and in many of the larger settlements, such as Athens, there were places specifically for debate,study and learning, such as the agora, a place that many greek adults went to discuss current events or generally discuss things.

To propangamdize and to flatter their emperors

Ancient Athens practiced a direct democracy, where citizens actively participated in decision-making and governance rather than electing representatives. All eligible male citizens, excluding women, slaves, and foreigners, could attend the Assembly to debate and vote on laws and policies. This system allowed for a high level of civic engagement and involvement in public affairs, making it a foundational model for modern democratic practices.

Athens converted its anti-Persian confederation into and empire, and used this power to try to dominate the rest of the Greek cities, many of which were members of the Peloponnesian League and opposed this. Athens' continuing aggressivenss forced the declaration of war in 431 BCE which turned into a 27-year war which devastated Greece.

The ultimate trigger was Athens' attempt to bankrupt its neighbour Megara by stopping its trade with Athens' empire. Megara was a member of the Peloponnesian League and appealed to it for support. The League urged Athens to desist. Sparta, as leader of the League was pressured by it to take action: it appealed to Athens to compromise; Athens, over-confident of its strength held out, and war ensued.

They had conquered the southern Peloponnesian Peninsula and turned the people into serfs who gave half their produce to the Spartan state. This supported the Spartan citizens who did not have to farm and could devote themselves to military training.

It depends on your definition of philosopher. Certainly he advance a particular philosophy, particularly in social conventions and justice but never reached the level of complexity that most people would deem worthy of the distinction. After all he is only known for fables.

The Greek city-states varied widely, in every way from government structure to cultural values. The competition between city-states kept each group pushing for improved cities and lifestyles, but also led to hostility and war.

A coalition of southern Greek city-states defeated a Persian fleet of Phoenician, Greek and Egyptian ships at the naval battle of Salamis.

There is no roman god of ice because they did not know that ice existed.

It spread throughout Europe, and was adopted by Rome. AL though Roman Mythology differed slightly from Greek Mythology, it was still based on it.
