Greece

troy. Modern Greece most eastern point is the island of Strongylli of Megisti island area at 36.06.50' North 29.38.11' East google earth.

In the ancient Greece era the eastern most city was Alexandria the last [one of the 70 build under Alexander the Great supervision] in the vicinity of Kyrgyzstan

During World War II, Italy's invasion of Greece was primarily a blatant attempt to expand Italian territory and power at the expense of a supposedly weak neighbor. At the same time, Italy's dictator-leader, Benito Mussolini, sought to gain more prestige for his country in light of the recent successes of Germany.

Italy and Greece's closest points lie between the city of Otranto in Italy and the city of Sidari on the Greek island of Corfu. The distance over-water between the countries (via the Strait of Otranto) is roughly 105 km or roughly 65 miles. However, the over-land distance between Italy and Greece (tracking through former Yugoslavia) is over 800 km or 500 miles.

Ancient Athens was a complex system, in many ways relatable, and in other ways remarkably alien.

We must remember the context of ancient Athens; they lived literally millenia before the concept of equal human rights; when everywhere else in the world was ruled by tyrants, religious godheads, and petty warlords. The idea that even a small group of individuals could decide policy was alien to any sort of thinking; the cultural capital of the world at that time was Egypt, which for nearly 2000 years had been ruled by a single ruler, whose word was absolute and his authority divine. Egyptian people would spend their entire lives saving up for a lavish funeral, and spend their free time memorizing religious verses to serve them in the afterlife. All over the world, rulers envied the fanatical devotion of the Egyptian people to their ruler and their religion, a tradition which was virtually unchanged for nearly 2,500 hundred years, and peoples from all over the world came to marvel at the vast cities of mausoleums which the Egyptians constructed in honor of their dead

However influenced by Egypt the Greeks were, their way of thinking was completely different. The Greeks were Hero-worshippers; they considered the ultimate glory to be great accomplishments on Earth, and not veneration of an unseen deity. A Greek was more likely to venerate Achilles or Herakles instead of Zeus or Poseidon. In fact, popularly known stories of such Gods were more of an afterthought in Greek religion than canon, because a Greek was wholly unconcerned with the afterlife, and instead focused on what he as a man could accomplish. For example, in nearly 70 years, the Greeks perfected human anatomy in sculpture making; a feat which the Egyptians failed at despite nearly 3000 years of making art.

In this way; Greeks are very similar to us. Religion was merely an aspect of their lives; they spent most of it tending to their business, engaging in spiritual or intellectual fulfillment, attending or playing sports, or debating politics.

And boy, did the Athenians loved to debate politics. It was considered proper for a man to debate politics at every opportunity. As Athens was a direct democracy, ever citizen voted on legislation, thus civic participation was encouraged among the people. Strangers making small talk on the street were as likely to comment about the hot button political issue as you would be making small talk with someone about sports or the weather. Athenians even came up with a word for people who had no interest in politics, or people who only voted for pet projects; "Idiot".

If it wasn't politics, it was sports. Athenians, like all Greeks, had a nearly religious devotion to athletics, and would devote a portion of their time each week to exercising and engaging in athletic competitions. Winners of one of the games, such as the Olympics, were the recipients of great honor, and Athenians revered those who excelled in athletics.

Of course, I refer to the men only. Women had no rights in Athens. A woman was the property of her father until she was married, where she would then become her husband's property. Attending a religious ceremony or a funeral were the only reasons a woman was allowed to leave her house. This is sharply contrasted with Spartan women, who were not only allowed to live independently of the men, but even own property, play sports, divorce their husband, and participate in civil matters.

Slavery did exist in Athens, but as Michael Foucault pointed out; people talk about things they are conflicted about. And the issue of slavery was an ever present issue in our records of Athenian thought. Remember that stoicism started in Athens, and Stoicism preaches eternal brotherhood with all men. But the conflict comes from reality; Greece was surrounded on all sides by barbarians; whose raids could penetrate deep into Greece. It was very common in Greek literature for slaves to be freed through acts of virtuous behavior, thus Greeks would have at least held on to some notion that slavery was a sort of "civilizing" process for the barbarian. However, most Greeks were ultra-nationalistic and highly xenophobic, and the controversy regarding slavery mostly stemmed from the idea that it takes jobs away from honest, hard working Greeks. Most of the farming done in the countryside around the city was actually done by Athenian citizens, and slaves were either servants, handmaidens, or prostitutes, or if they were particularly unlucky, they served in mines or rock quarries. The slave trade was profitable, and sometimes Prisoners of War could be turned into slaves. However, city-states often kept Prisoners of war as diplomatic bargaining chips, as fathers would go to understandably great lengths and would pay vast sums of money to see their sons safely home, and as city-states often had a small number of citizens who were eligible to be soldiers, it was in the states interest to have their soldiers returned to them, lest their military become paralyzed for an entire generation.

Education was the cornerstone of any Athenian Citizen's early life, and Athens was an epicenter of learning that continued for nearly a thousand years after the end of the classical era. Whether it was Plato's Academy or Aristotle's Lyceum, a young Athenian man could expect to learn three disciplines; philosophy, literature, and rhetoric. Philosophy was things regarding the world; religion, mathematics, science, astronomy/astrology, and engineering. Literature was things regarding the past, as the Greeks had no written records of the earlier, Mycenaean era, which had collapsed nearly 600 years before the start of the classical era, thus a legend and a historical fact were virtually indistinguishable (Aristotle even went so far as to say that poetry and literature was superior to history since they depict man as he should and could be, rather than as he is). Rhetoric is things that deal with people, talking to them, getting them to see things your way, obviously it was the craft of merchants and politicians. As I mentioned, Athens was a direct democracy, thus skilled orators held a considerable amount of political clout, making rhetoric a critical area of study.

I've already typed a lot, so I won't go on. A good introduction to ancient Greek way of life is wikipedia. Another good place to continue would be to read some Greek plays, such as The Pot of Gold or the Brothers Menaechmus. I know that suggestion may make you squirm, but one thing that you will learn is how similar their way of thinking is to ours when you realize how similar their sense of humor was to ours. Even Shakespearean comedies can be difficult to comprehend, but Ancient Greek comedies are slapstick, funny, timeless, and simple, thus easy to get a good laugh out of.

There are three different answers depending on the time of year.

From 16:00 UTC on the day before the first Sunday of April until 16:00 UTC on the day before the first Sunday of October, Melbourne is seven hours ahead of Greece.

From 01:00 UTC on the last Sunday of October until 01:00 UTC on the last Sunday of March, Melbourne is nine hours ahead of Greece.

During the rest of the year, Melbourne is eight hours ahead of Greece.

2 PM EET (in Greece Oct-Mar) =
3 PM EEST (in Greece Mar-Oct) =
10 PM AEST (in Melbourne Apr-Oct) =
11 PM AEDT (in Melbourne Oct-Apr)

He united it.

Greece does not have an official national fruit. It does have a national tree which is the olive tree, and since olives are considered to be fruit, an assumption could be made that the national fruit would also be the olive.

The left hand side of the road like in England

Chaparral is all I know.

It is Cyprus. Islands in the Aegean Sea, Sicily and southern Italy, western coast of Turkey.

Ouzo is an aniseed aperitif from Greece Feta - of course

Mastic is unique to Greece which is produced from the resin of mastic trees in Chios used as a medicine of some sort. They also produce olive oil, honey, all kinds of other cheeses and coffee

No to the answer below. Greece is from the Latin Grecia which is what the Romans called Hellas[Greece] & the Hellenes[Greeks] is what Greeks call[ed] themselves, here is an explanation:

Greece is called Hellas or [H]Ellada by the Greek people. But since the ancient days they have stopped pronouncing the "H". The question "where does the word Greece come from?" has arisen. The word Greece comes from the Romans. From a Greek colony in Magna Grecia (Sicily and Southern Italy) one of the first Greek groups that the Romans came into contact with. Since these Hellenics lived in a place the Romans called Magna Grecia, they were called Grecians or Greek. The name just stuck.

because they are from Greece

They just added a suffix that sounded nice i guess.

Thessaly or Thessalia is much farther north than Attica in the nation of Greece. Thessaly is about 326 kilometers north of Attica.

Greeks are still alive. The lifespan of Greek people is in line with international lifespans.

Parts of Greece have been democratic, on and off, for around 2500 years. It was so because the people of the time felt this was the best way to get a fair representation of the people.

Theseus kills a few creatures in Greek myth, but the most famous is the Minotaur.

Argos

Technically Greeece has more than 3000 islands. however they are many -many more. It is said that the Grek coats line is longest than either the US's coasline or just the west coast's. That's a lot.

Yes, lots and lots, both dosmetic (used for meat and milk for cheese etc) and wild goats that inhabit the hills and mountain areas.
