The spider is commonly called the "Mediterranean widow spider." "Marmaga" is just another common name for it which doesn't appear to have an English translation.

The people with the most power were the nobles. The kings weren't because the nobles were able to communicate with the gods. The kings just had to be able to do what the gods asked for. But, in any case, they gods were the most powerful people in the entire nation of Greece.

Greece was first inhabited in the 700th BC.

if you mean the modern currency that Greece used before the euro, it was 340,75 drachmas = 1 euro

The Greek philosophers, namely Socrates, was/were identifying a different experience than the religious leaders. The Socratic method is basically the father of the scientific method which asks questions. Religions seem to be keen on acceptance and selflessness, where-as questions will make one an outsider to the accepted norm. Greek religion detailed a persons reverence of any particular doing,- for example If a Greek were to be charged with assault and rape...and asked why he might say...Aries commanded me to bust a move on dude, then Bacchus gave me the wine to go to Athena for some Persephone. What is missing from Greeks at all, in every sense is the "I" for "I" is a new testament phenomenon that is mostly what god says. It is said that when it was time for the festival of Athena, all people in Greece would go and honor, even prisoners in prisons would stop being prisoners for the day and go do the honorable praying. Anything that the gods asked or commanded, usually through some type of oracle or sign, would be followed or fulfilled like lemmings. Possibly also, the mindset of people then was more like schizophrenics today. Oracles, rituals, group process and worship were much more to the point of catching up to these unknowable voices from the wind, cloud and element, but for modern man, we call this thinking and consciousness. Animism, where the individual sees all other living things as reflections of him/herself is the older paradigm that preceded the multi-theistic approach of Greek/roman religion. After Christ you find the One god...the "I" and persons are directly responsible for actions. Socrates and Philosophy moved more to question that what everyone was going with, challenging folks to question and to doubt. His "analogy of the cave" is a demonstration of objects and placement of light source to make shadows....is as best i can recall -an attempt to look at things for what they are, as discernible natural phenomenon, but not to be read into say for deciding if it was time to carve a lamb to call another Mooney vision of the gran biscuit whatever. Socratic method just makes me think: early rationality, noticing time, space, environment and influences.

today is much differrent

There was usually only one actor and then the chorus... However later on other playwrights introduced two actors and then three actors. But originally there was only one.

The "Pan pipes", otherwise known, as, I believe, "reed pipes".

This is just a educated guess, but through Greek myths and stories, there language would of been passed down generations and spread across the world through word of mouth. When the stories where being told, people would of picked up the language and started to use it in their own conversations.

Pericles is set in Greece. So is Timon of Athens. So you see there was more than one set in Greece. Did I mention the Comedy of Errors?

The question suggests understanding the dissonance between the location of Ionia in anatolia, hundreds of miles east of the Ionian Sea. Ionia is separated from its namesake sea by the Greek peninsula as well as the Aegean Sea. Perhaps the Greek world sets its parameters east and west by the term Ionia...
