Here was the great Sanctuary of Zeus, the Altis, and the setting for the Olympic Games. For over a thousand years, in peace and war, the Greeks assembled here to celebrate this great festival. The simple crown of wild olive was sufficient to immortalize the victor, his family, and his city. Aerial view of sanctuary from SE Photograph by Raymond V. Schoder, S.J., courtesy of Bolchazy-Carducci Publishers The Greeks referred to the Sanctuary of Zeus as the Altis. The name Altis came from a corruption of the Elean word for grove, alsos . Sanctuaries were centers of religious worship where the Greeks built temples, treasuries, altars, statues, and other structures. The crowns made of olive leaves ca Read More Go to Site ALEXANDER Votes:0 ALEXANDER 356 - 323 BC King of Macedonia Alexander the Great was the first world conqueror and one of the greatest generals in history.

These are the Pasargadae, the Maraphians, and the Maspians, of whom the Pasargadae are the noblest. The Achaemenidae, from which spring all the Perseid kings, is one of their clans.

Because the Persians still ruled the Ionian cities and another invasion of Greece seemed probable, Athens in 478 B.C. invited the city-states bordering on the Aegean to form a defensive alliance called the Delian League. To maintain a 200 ship navy that would police the seas, each state was assessed ships or money in proportion to its wealth. From the beginning, Athens dominated the league. Since almost all of the 173 member states paid their assessments in money, which Athens was empowered to collect, the Athenians furnished the necessary ships.

Yet while the Dorian invasion was an undoubted catastrophe, it was also vital to the ultimate rise of a unique Hellenic (from Hellas, the Greek name for Greece) civilization that was not largely an offshoot of the Near East, as was Aegean civilization.

With modern monuments, the Seven Wonders of the Middle Ages, and the world's Seven Natural Wonders in the mix, very few people can sort out these astounding ancient architectural feats. What makes it even harder is that only one still exists. Inspired by mythology, religion and art, ancient civilizations undertook these seven imposing projects from about 2700 B.C. to about 270 B.C. Only one, the Egyptian Pyramids at Giza, has survived. Fires, earthquakes, conquests and the ravages of time have led to the others' demise.

The houses were mainly built with a circular, oval, apsidal, or rectangular shape. The rectangular house was mostly square, but some were oblong, and had the entrance at one of the short ends. They used mud bricks and stones in the mud with reeds or brush to help build the house. Most of the houses had one room, there were very rarely two.

Whereas the history of the Roman Empire is a chronology of its generals and emperors, the history of the Greeks is, with the exception of Alexander and his legacy in Egypt, one of philosophers, scientists, artists, and thinkers. Unlike the Romans unified under a central government, the Greeks were united by a common culture, and organized their largely democratic government on individual cities, or city-states, the most famous of which were Athens and Sparta.

How was it that a relative handful of people could bequeath such a legacy to civilization? The definitive answer may always elude the historian, but a good part of the explanation lies in environmental and social factors. Unlike the Near Eastern monarchies, the polis was not governed by a "divine" ruler, nor were the thoughts and activities of its citizens limited by powerful priesthoods. Many Greeks, and most notably the Athenians, were fond of good talk and relished debate and argument. As late as the first century A.D., St. Paul was welcomed by the Athenians because they "liked to spend all their time telling and listening to Read More Go to Site Manchester Computing - University of Manchester Votes:0 | contact the university | help | sitemap | Search This website will look much better in a web browser that supports web standards , but it is accessible to any browser or Internet device.

Greek civilization was unique in so many ways that a student of history might infer that it developed free from outside influences, springing fullblown from the mountains and plains of this small land. The Greek achievement, however, was preceded by an advanced civilization located on the lands surrounding the Aegean Sea. This Aegean civilization, which came into full flower about 2000 B.C. and collapsed suddenly following 1200 B.C., developed through two major periods. Minoan And Mycenaean Phases The first and longer phase of Aegean civilization, which ended about 1450 B.C., is called Minoan after the legendary Cretan King Minos. Crete was the center of Minoan civilization, which spread to the Aegean Islands, the coast of A Read More Go to Site Numismatic Entomology, Cultural Entomology Digest 1 Votes:0 by Dr. Kirby Brown, San Joaquin Co.

The study of insects and of coins are probably equally ancient. The direct link between the two seemingly unrelated fields is even more ancient. Among the very first true coins, little lumps of electrum (a natural mix of gold and silver) issued in the late seventh century B.C., are ones picturing beetles, bees, and scorpions. Numismatics is the study of coins, currency, medals and tokens. In recent years, collecting by "topic," has become popular.

Contact Sfakian People and the Dorians " In the southwest part of the island of Crete today lives a Dorian Greek tribe . They are very tall, fair haired and have blue eyes." In actual fact, the origins of the Dorians, a pastoral people, are necessarily obscure, but it appears they originated in northern and northwestern Greece, i.e. Macedonia and Epirus. From there they apparently swept southward into central Greece and then into the southern Aegean area in successive migrations beginning about 1100 BC, at the end of the Bronze Age. This new people brought with it a new material, iron , which was of Balkan origin. Dorian Greeks settled in Illyria before 2000 BC, ancient regions of the Balkan peninsul Read More Go to Site SimpleNet Web Hosting, Dedicated Servers & Co-location, Reseller Web Hosting Votes:0 CUSTOMER LOGIN 24 HOUR SUPPORT Focused on providing high quality, reliable, and inexpensive web hosting solutions Providing great customer service, a high quality product and making sure customers' sites are up and running smoothly are paramount to success. » Click here to learn more about SimpleNet Home About Us Services Resellers Affiliate Program Support News/Press Resources Contact Us Our Services: Web Hosting Dedicated Servers Server Co-Locations Custom Hosting Solutions Reseller Web Hosting In the web hosting business since the mid-1990's, the employees that currently make up SimpleNet's work force were among those who created the first Internet Presence Provider(IPP), or web host.

Votes:0 (This Site is Intended for Educational Purposes) The ancient Greeks (mainly the Athenians ) were a unique people. They believed that individuals should be free as long as they acted within the laws of Greece. This allowed them the opportunity to excel in any direction they chose. Individuality, as the Greeks viewed it, was the basis of their society. The ability to strive for excellence, no matter what the challenge, was what the Athenians so dearly believed in. This strive for excellence was the method from which they achieved such phenomenal accomplishments. These accomplishments astound us to this day. They also believed in the balance of mind and body. Although many of them strove to become soldiers and athletes , others ventured into philosophy, drama , pottery and the arts .

When the early Greek invaders conquered their way into the peninsula, the area was heavily wooded and the soil was quite rich, though the good growing lands were mostly confined to river valleys and to a narrow strip close to the sea. There was apparently plenty of game in these forests, and the "heroic" Greeks, the ones Homer writes about, typically ate a great deal of meat. At least, their ceremonial feasts and hunting camps usually included some form of roast meat. Meat, however, is an expensive way to get prot Read More Go to Site The Internet Classics Archive | The Athenian Constitution by Aristotle Votes:0 Home Browse and Comment Search Buy Books and CD-ROMs Help The Athenian Constitution By Aristotle Written 350 B.C.E Translated by Sir Frederic G.
