Homer's epic poems like the Iliad told stories of Greek mythology and history, such as the Trojan War. Ancient Greeks worshipped anthropomorphic gods like Zeus, Hera, and Poseidon who lived on Mount Olympus and were often depicted in myths influencing human conflicts and events.

Ancient Greece had a mountainous landscape that divided the people into independent city-states. Two major city-states were Athens, which developed the world's first democracy, and Sparta, which was a strict military state. The Greeks developed advanced thinking through philosophers like Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. They also fought the Persians and each other in wars that weakened Greece. Subsequently, Alexander the Great conquered much of the known world and spread Greek culture before his early death. The resulting Hellenistic period saw advancements in science, math, and a blending of cultures across Europe and Asia.Introduction to Ancient Greece powerpoint

The document provides background information on ancient Greece, including its geography, development of city-states, and rivalry between Athens and Sparta. The mountainous landscape of Greece encouraged the formation of independent city-states along the coasts but also isolated communities. Athens developed the world's first democracy while Sparta was known for its powerful warrior culture and discipline. The two city-states eventually went to war in the Peloponnesian War, during which a plague helped lead to Athens' defeat.Greek civilization

The Greek civilization originated in the Balkan Peninsula in the 8th century BC. They lived in independent city-states called polis, with Athens and Sparta being two important ones. Polis were initially governed by aristocracies but some later transitioned to democracies. Due to overpopulation, many Greeks migrated and founded colonies around the Mediterranean, spreading Greek culture. Greek society was divided between citizens, who had rights, and non-citizens like foreigners, slaves, and women who had few to no rights. The Greeks made important contributions to philosophy, science, theatre, and architecture.Ancient greece geography

Rome began as a small city-state founded by Romulus and Remus along the Tiber River in Italy. It grew to become a large empire due to its strategic location along major trade routes. Rome conquered neighboring lands and expanded its territory through military campaigns. At its height, the Roman Empire stretched across Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia and had over 50 million inhabitants living under its rule. However, internal conflicts and invasions by external groups like the Visigoths eventually weakened the Western Roman Empire, leading to its collapse in 476 AD. Meanwhile, the Eastern Roman Empire continued on from Constantinople and is referred to as the Byzantine Empire.Rome (Italy)

Rome began as a small agricultural community in central Italy founded in 753 BC. It eventually grew into a powerful Republic that dominated the Mediterranean world. The Republic collapsed in the 1st century BC, leading to the founding of the Roman Empire in 27 BC. At its height, the Empire stretched from Britain to Egypt and Portugal to Iraq. Rome's location placed it within a cultural sphere influenced by Greek and Etruscan civilizations. The Romans developed advanced architecture, infrastructure, and systems of government that still influence Western societies today.

Bronze Age Greece saw the rise and fall of two major civilizations - the Minoans of Crete and the Mycenaeans of the Greek mainland. The Minoans built large palatial complexes and had a matriarchal religion centered around bull worship. They were devastated by the Thera volcanic eruption around 1630 BCE. The Mycenaeans adopted the Minoan Linear B script and dominated Bronze Age Greece until their own palaces burned down around 1200 BCE, ushering in a "Greek Dark Age." Greek mythology and religion developed out of the beliefs and practices of the Minoans and Mycenaeans, with the Olympian gods like Zeus, Poseidon, and ApolloAncient greece

Greek theater originated in Athens in the 5th century BC. Plays were performed in amphitheaters with a stage, orchestra, and seating area. Actors wore masks and most action occurred off stage. Major playwrights included Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. Myths played a central role, explaining natural events and justifying religious practices. Tragedies typically featured a central, elite character who suffers a downfall due to a fatal flaw, involving related characters. This elicited pity and fear in audiences, leading to catharsis.Trojan War
