index

Except that the system only consisted of male citizens, excluding women, slaves, and foreigners. Which influenced the government system quite a lot in the future.

government

The government in ancient Greece was very democratic. Citizens gathered in the agora to talk about and vote on laws and politics.

The earliest surviving works of ancient Greek literature are two poems that are very well known: the Iliad and the Odyssey. "The alphabet was adapted to several languages throughout the Mediterranean, Europe, and the Middle East from the eighth century B.C. onward."(Violatti) The ancient Greeks used writing to communicate, keep records, form works of written work, and education.

WRITING

environment

During the summers, it was hot and dry, while in the winter it was wet and windy. The ancient Greeks raised their goats and sheep on the various mountains and hills, which provided shrubs to feed the animals. The wheat and barley were grown, while the olives and grapes were harvested. It was believed that the structures found in present day were originally painted in very bright colours, but through the years, the colour faded to the colour it is today. Which raised questions about what the rest of the buildings were like.

SOCIAL CLASSES

The ancient Greek social classes consisted of: slaves, metics (non-citizen freepersons), women, and citizens. However, there were sub-sections in the groups. such as the difference between common citizens and aristocratic citizens

Public works was very important to the Ancient Greeks because they needed public entertainment or special places for praying. Which include; the Parthenon, the gateway to the Acropolis, and the Odeon.

Public works

The ancient Greeks worshipped a variety of Greek deities: Ares, the god of bloodlust (whose half-sister Athena was the more noble part of war); Apollo had the ability to see into the future as well as the power of light. Dionysus, the son of Zeus, was the god of intoxication and savage ritual sacrifice; Hades ruled the world of the dead; Hermes was responsible for protecting livestock and was associated with music, luck, fertility, and deception; Poseidon, the god of the sea; and finally, Zeus, noted for his chronic maridge to his sister-wife, Hera, became the cover-thrower after (with the help of Hades and Poseidon) overthrowing his father, the King of Titans.

Along with; Hera, the ruler goddess of Olympus; Aphrodite, the goddess of love and beauty; Athena, the goddess of wisdom and war; Artemis, the goddess of hunting; and Demeter, an agricultural goddess.

These gods were believed to have control over everything, including the government. Which is why many aspects of the Greek government were based on religious beliefs and practises.

RELIGION

“The art of ancient Greece is usually divided stylistically into four periods: geometric, archaic, classical, and Hellenistic.”

Even though most of their art paintings and sculptures were modelled after the gods, those gods were created in the form of humans.

Art &Architecture

Ancient Greece stressed the importance of the human body.

JOB S

The jobs for men were plentiful, including those of farmer, fisherman, soldier, teacher, government worker, and craftsman.

However, the women were generally homemakers and would raise the children and cook meals.

Corinth was one of the largest and most important cities in ancient Greece. Which is where the Byzantines, Venetians, Ottomans, and pirates left their marks engraved in stone throughout the towns and villages.

Olympia hosted the first Olympic Games to worship the god Zeus. The earliest recording was in 766 BC in Greece. The events were held in Olympia, in Penoponnese.

Sparta was located in the Peloponnese, Greece. Home to the Spartans, who were fierce warriors. They reached the height of their power when they won the war against Athens in the Peloponnesian War (404 BC).

Cities

Ancient Greeks offered a lot of technological inventions and advancement such as the gear, screw, rotary mills, bronxe casting techniques, water clock, water organ, the torsion catapult, the use of steam to operate some experimental machines and toys, and a chart to find prime numbers.
