Stone or maybe marble

It gave routes for trading goods or for sailing OR for giving routes to travelers but I'm not sure which one it is.

Due to overpopulation, they sent out surplus people to seize land and establish their own cities. This spread Greek cities all around the Mediterranean and Black Seas. The links they developed were obviously not always happy ones, and they had to defend the land they had taken. The other links were for trade, as the mainland Greek cities had limited resources and had to trade in order to survive and prosper.

Athenian democracy was at its height during the age of Pericles, during the mid-fifth century BCE. Democracy was an Athenian invention, but took a while to appear. Significant figures in the development of democracy were Solon - 594 BC, the Peisistratids; 545-510 BC, Cleisthenes - 565-500 BC, Ephialtes- 482 BC and Pericles - 461-457 BC. Each development in steps introduced new laws into Athenian society. Athenian society began with the aristocratic oligarchy (government) in the seventh century BCE. The height of the democracy occurred under Pericles which introduced payment for jurors in 461 BC, in 458 BC it introduced payment of archons and in 457 BC addmitted zeugitae (hoplite class ti archonship) Pericles - the true height of the Athenian democracy. In the 5th century BC, the Ecclesia was the basic institution of democracy in Athens in which it passed the laws and had ultimate power in affairs of state. The Ecclesia was made up of all citizens over 18. Theoratically, this meant that between up to 50,000 citizens could attend.

Alexander the great's kingdom was split into four major parts. Each was ruled by one of his army generals.

most city states lonqed for rule by law with all citizens participating in the government

Ancient greece had animals such as cows,pigs,sheep,chickens,cats,dogs and even horses.

Probably that it was just a way to settle lands or agreements, and it was necessary to have a safe country. You had to have a strong army and show that your city state was all-powerful or the other city states would take over. Even if some people didn't necessarily like it they most likely found it to be necessary. Not thought of twice.

The pharaoh would have been like any other ruler and had to deal with the various and sometimes tedious affairs of state and the economy.
He had advisers including a vizier or prime minister and would have regularly consulted with the leading generals of his military.
As the pharaoh was seen as a "living god" he or she in the case of a small group of woman including Hatshepsut who ruled as pharaohs in their entirety,would have also had to preform rituals and rites at the inner sanctum or "Holy of Holies" in the main temple complexes such as Karnak.
On special festival days such as the Valley Festival and the Opet festival the pharaoh along with his Great Wife and heir would appear in front of the people giving them a glimpse of their living god ruler, in much the same way as the Queen of England makes regular appearances on the balcony at Buckingham Palace.
There are many depictions of Ahkenaton and his family greeting the people from the "Window of Apperances"of the royal palace.
His leisure time would have likely been spent with his family in his private quaters of the palace and entertaining visiting ambassadors and dignitaries and hosting lavish feasts.
The ancient Egyptain noble classes enjoyed entertaining,taking boat rides on thier private man made lakes and canals as well as talking walks in thier exotic gardens filled with the lastest plants imported from the African subcontinent and Asia.
From wall releifs we know they enjoyed watching the antics of actobats and dwarfs preform and of course listening to music and storytellers was also a popular leisure activity.

The original Olympic oath was first introduced in the 1920 Summer Olympics by Victor Boin. It goes like this: "We swear we will take part in the Olympic Games in a spirit of chivalry, for the honour of our country and for the glory of sport." In 1961 "oath" was replaced by "promise" and "the honour of our countries" became "the honour of our teams". "Committing ourselves to a sport without doping and without drugs" came in in the 2000 summer Olympics. (See I'm smart ;-)

His favourite technique before warfare - bribery.

He famously said that he could capture any Greek city as long as there was a path to it up which he could drive a donkey laden with gold.

The five ephors were the governing council in Sparta, handling day to day matters. The dual kings of Sparta had mainly religious and war leader duties, and were advised by the ephors who effectively exercised political control.

In Persia government was by the king, whose council advised him, but did not wield power.

they all liked men and made children together

It was a league of independent Dorian city-states led by Sparta which banded together to protect itself, at home and in their overseas colonies. Their biggest clash was the Ionians led by Athens, and later Aeolians led by Thebes.

The patrons of art in ancient Greece were the wealthy or those belonging to the upper class during this time. Wealthy patrons would commission works of arts, such as Kore statues, which was a statue of a young woman.
