We have to start making a radical change in this society; we have to stop getting

Victory is not achieved unless there is the desire for success, compromise, and occasional conflict. In the David versus Goliath scenario, the Greeks as the underdog, defeated the Persians due to their support, heroic action and Unity. For support, the Greeks relied on the words of Apollo to guide them, but the he did not always act encouragingly. The Persian Wars put the Greeks in the difficult position of having to defend their country against a vast empire with an army that greatly outnumbered

Pythagoras and Ancient Athenian Culture The ancient Greeks did not always possess the deeply creative and accepting culture imagined by society today. They started off as very ritualistic and stubbornly polytheistic, rejecting those who denied the gods and ostracising people who seemed unpious. While some of these traits never disappeared, others became more like the Greeks we recognize today starting in the fifth century BCE. It was around this time that Pythagoras lived and taught. Today we

Sparta’s dependence on Persian money in the last years of the war reflects another consequence of this alliance. At the onset of the Peloponnesian War, Sparta positioned itself as the liberators of Greece. They justified their aggression by claiming their primary objective was to free those living under Athenian tyranny. Thucydides claims most Greeks hoped for a Spartan victory, Men’s feelings inclined much more to the Spartans, especially as they proclaimed themselves the liberators of Hellas. No

There are many unknowns regarding who Homer was. His date of birth and death are still a mystery to modern day historians, ranging anywhere between the twelfth to eighth century BCE.

Homer’s epics are one of the only few artifacts historians have to learn about Homer, which can reveal a lot if read carefully. After

Were the people better served by the democracy in Athens or the oligarchy of Sparta? Stephanie M. Athens and Sparta are two powerful city-states, different from each other in such way that Athenian democracy focuses on economic advancement, while Sparta oligarchy focuses on military force. Democracy is a system of government where the citizens have the right to vote, whereas the oligarchy is when a group of people is in control of the

According to Brand (2010) there were very different political models in ancient Sparta and Athens. Indeed, he advises that Athens was a much more developed powerhouse, where today’s democracy initiated, whereby Sparta was, conversely, a fierce warmongering state where only male warriors participated in politics. However, Brand also acknowledges elements of democracy in both city states. In the case of Sparta, the ‘ecclesia’, or the ‘apella’ were the eligible voting public (Larkin, n.d.) Only Spartan

of a criminal as their punishment usually reflects the magnitude of the crimes that they committed, crimes that often involve the deaths of others or equally heinous actions, yet one historical example stands out for not following this rule. In 399 BC, in Athens, Greece, two men put a meek philosopher named Socrates on trial for two crimes he purportedly committed: not following state gods and corrupting the youth. These charges alleged against Socrates reflected the general sentiment of Athenians

Throughout the time period of 600 BCE to 600 CE, many societies learned to develop innovative ways of living and flourishing. Many of the views on society and the way they believed a society should be run overall, impacted the way civilizations are run today. Some of the civilizations that helped to develop this were Greece, Rome, the Maya, and Alexander the Great’s Empire. This age helped develop different political, cultural and intellectual values. Many of these developments began in Athens,
