Government • The Greeks had a lot of different kinds of governments, because there were many different cities in ancient Greece, and they each had their own government. In addition, people's ideas about what made a good government changed over time.
Fun things About Ancient Greece.. • Ancient Greek civilization comprised of Southern Italy, the coastal areas of Turkey and the Black Sea, along with some colonies in North Africa, Southern France and Spain. Modern Greece is just a part of it. • 80 percent landscape of Greece comprises of mountains. Only one half of the country is covered by forests, the other half is barren.
Ancient Greece Sports.. • Ancient Greeks loved sport and most cities in Ancient Greece had public gymnasiums where people gathered to train and relax
Ancient Greece Food.. The Greeks did not have any eating utensils, so they ate with their hands. Bread was often used to scoop out thick soups. Bread was also used as a napkin to clean hands. After being used as a napkin, the bread was then thrown on the floor for the dogs or slaves to clean up at a later time.
Ancient Greece Arts • The Greeks developed three architectural systems, called orders, each with their own distinctive proportions and detailing. The Greek orders are: Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian
Ancient Greece Olympics • The ancient Olympics were rather different from the modern Games. There were fewer events, and only free men who spoke Greek could compete (although a woman Bilistiche is also mentioned as a winner). As long as they met the entrance criteria, athletes from any country or city-state were allowed to participate. The Games were always held at Olympia rather than alternating to different locations as is the tradition with the modern Olympic Games There is one major commonality between the ancient and modern Games, the victorious athletes are honored, feted, and praised. Their deeds were heralded and chronicled so that future generations could appreciate their accomplishments.
