During the Hellenistic period (323BC-31BC) after Alexander the Greats death, the land he conquered from the Mediterranean sea to the Persian gulf was split up into various Greek Kingdoms. All these kingdoms shared the same culture and language. People in these kingdoms moved fluidly around the former empire and they all spoke the same language. Because of this anyone could understand anyone from anywhere, allowing for culture to spread.]]> 2022-08-05 18:17:06 UTC https://padlet.com/tysonminer/gxktqpli9ik3f8tg/wish/2255613972 tysonminer https://padlet.com/tysonminer/gxktqpli9ik3f8tg/wish/2255616074 - https://www.livescience.com/39997-alexander-the-great.html

It consisted of many islands and archipelagos, making travel by sea a main way of transportation. The summers in Ancient Greece were hot and dry with wet and windy winters. Wheat, barley, grapes, and olives were the main crops grown in Ancient Greece. Greece was also very hilly and grassy allowing herds to wander and graze where they pleased. Another consequence of the mountains and islands was the independent growth and development of Greek city-states. Trade was a large part of Greece due to its many port cities.]]> 2022-08-09 17:52:02 UTC https://padlet.com/tysonminer/gxktqpli9ik3f8tg/wish/2257596396 caelrandall1 https://padlet.com/tysonminer/gxktqpli9ik3f8tg/wish/2257610072 The Greek League of 303 BCE was similar to the Corinthian League. These leagues were both created so the towns of Greece would stop fighting each other, and combine efforts in order to fight the Macedonian ruler Cassander. In the League there were a body of councilors who represented the individual towns of Greece. These councilors would vote on the leagues policies while 5 presidents oversaw the meetings. Some rules of these meetings were, that the league would meet in peacetime and in wartime. As well as the decisions of the council having the same power of the law. If any of the city's did not send there full militia to the greater army, they would have to pay a fine every day of half a mina for every cavalryman, 20 drachmas for every hoplite, 10 drachmas for every light armed soldier and 10 for every sailor, until the expiry of the period of military service for all the other Greeks.]]> 2022-08-09 18:17:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tysonminer/gxktqpli9ik3f8tg/wish/2257610072 masonhamilton4 https://padlet.com/tysonminer/gxktqpli9ik3f8tg/wish/2257621577 Hellenistic Greece - Ancient Greece, Timeline & Definition - HISTORY]]> 2022-08-09 18:35:34 UTC https://padlet.com/tysonminer/gxktqpli9ik3f8tg/wish/2257621577 tysonminer https://padlet.com/tysonminer/gxktqpli9ik3f8tg/wish/2259281167 Because of the geography of Greece, many of the cities were ruled independently of the central government. There were four main political systems that these city-states used, democracy, monarchy, oligarchy, and tyranny. Most of these rulers were wealthy noblemen and aristocrats whose interests were often far different than those of the common citizen. the capital city, Athens eventually developed Democracy making the Greeks the creators of Democracy. The citizens allowed to vote were free males above the age of twenty. Everyone else was not considered a citizen and did not have the right to vote. The politics of the Ancient Greeks varied a lot over the years and eventually settled on Democracy.]]> 2022-08-11 18:36:11 UTC https://padlet.com/tysonminer/gxktqpli9ik3f8tg/wish/2259281167 tysonminer https://padlet.com/tysonminer/gxktqpli9ik3f8tg/wish/2259282078 The Ancient Greeks were some of the first people to rely on international trade in their economy. One detail that is important to clarify, is that the Greeks shared a religion and a language, but considered themselves a part of their individual city-states. They started trade with one another, but had to trade with other peoples to get the food they needed to support their growing population. The Greeks did most of their trading over seas and became adept sailors. They traded with civilizations all across the Mediterranean Ocean. The Greeks exported pottery, olives, wine, and metal work. In return they would receive wheat, wood, glass, tin, copper, silver, and so on. The marketplace in Greece was called agora, and was the center of Greeks' daily lives. Trade was the center of Greece's economy and helped it too develop into a remarkable empire.]]> 2022-08-11 18:37:30 UTC https://padlet.com/tysonminer/gxktqpli9ik3f8tg/wish/2259282078 tysonminer https://padlet.com/tysonminer/gxktqpli9ik3f8tg/wish/2259282346 The Greeks were a people unified by culture, religion, and language, but divided in just about every other way. The geography of Greece made a central government near impossible, so instead Greece was divided into hundreds of independent city-states that made there own laws and operated freely of one another. Sports and games were one thing that unified the people. Many of the competitions also held religious importance and related to Greek mythology. The most prominent of these events were the Olympic Games which were held every four years in Olympia to honor Zeus. Massive temples were also constructed all over Greece to honor Zeus and all other Greek deities. The Ancient Greek civilization accomplished a lot during its existence and paved the way for others through its innovations in politics, trade, and science.]]> 2022-08-11 18:37:54 UTC https://padlet.com/tysonminer/gxktqpli9ik3f8tg/wish/2259282346 masonhamilton4 https://padlet.com/tysonminer/gxktqpli9ik3f8tg/wish/2259284431 Ancient Greek Religion - World History Encyclopedia

The Greek people had a polytheistic religion that believed that gods such as Zeus, Poseidon, Athena and 8 others resided on Mt. Olympus. Greek gods were very human, having human bodies and supposed families. Temples were built in honor of particular gods, with animal scarifies being carried out outside them. Temples were visited anytime with common prayers of medical needs. Signs from gods were looked for everywhere and interpreted as omens or outcomes of future events. While Greek Religion sounds like Greek Mythology, the two were very different. Greek Mythology was connected to traditional tales while Greek religion focused on real polytheistic beliefs. During the Classical Age (5th and 6th century BC), the widely influential philosopher Plato, suggested that there was only one higher being; one god. For this belief he was executed.]]> 2022-08-11 18:40:28 UTC https://padlet.com/tysonminer/gxktqpli9ik3f8tg/wish/2259284431 caelrandall1 https://padlet.com/tysonminer/gxktqpli9ik3f8tg/wish/2259600169 The ancient people of Greece were some of the most influential and evolutionary people of all time. As a effect of this Ancient Greeks contributed to many key inventions that still effect the modern world.
DEMOCRACY
Among these achievements there are a few which stand out, one of these being the invention of the first democracy. The goal of ancient democracy was that all citizens should have equal political rights. This was done by citizens having a say in either the council or the assembly. The assembly was composed of 500 elected men from the clans of Athens. The assembly would create new laws throughout the land and was overseen by the Council. The Council's function was to limit the Assembly's power through legislation and was composed of the wealthier classes.
Water Mill
The water mill was a invention created to help the production of food throughout Greece. The purpose of the milling is to grind grain. This led to production of edible food staple like beaten rice, cereals, pulses, flour and etc. These mills are still used in many parts of the world in this modern day to serve similar purposes.]]> 2022-08-12 04:43:50 UTC https://padlet.com/tysonminer/gxktqpli9ik3f8tg/wish/2259600169
