Greece: Ancient history The divine myths constitute the earliest matter of Greek history. These may be divided into those which belong to the gods and to the heroes respectively; but most of them, in point of fact, present gods, heroes and men in juxtaposition. Every community sought to trace its origin to some common divine, or semi-divine, progenitor; the establishment of a pedigree was a necessity; and each pedigree contains at some point figures corresponding to some actual historical character, before whom the pedigree is imaginary, but after whom, in the main, actual. The precise point where the legend fades into the mythical, or consolidates into the historical, is not usually ascertainable. The legendary period culminates in the tale of Troy, which belongs to a period prior to the Dorian conquest presented in the Heraklied legend; the tale of Troy itself remaining the common heritage of the Greek peoples, and having an actual basis in historical fact. The events, however, are of less importance than the picture of an actual historical, political and social system, corresponding, not to the supposed date of the Trojan war, but to the date of the composition of the Homeric poems. Later ages regarded the myths themselves with a good deal of skepticism, and were often disposed to rationalize them, or to find for them an allegorical interpretation. The myths of other European peoples have undergone a somewhat similar treatment.

Hipponax From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Hipponax from "Promptuarii Iconum Insigniorum " Hipponax of Ephesus was an Ancient Greek iambic poet Expelled from Ephesus in 540 BC by the tyrant Athenagoras , he took refuge in Clazomenae , where he spent the rest of his life in poverty. His deformed figure and malicious disposition exposed him to the caricature of the Chian sculptors Bupalus and Athenis , upon whom he revenged himself by issuing against them a series of satires . They are said to have hanged themselves like Lycambes and his daughters when assailed by Archilochus of Paros , the model and predecessor of Hipponax. His coarseness of thought and feeling, his want of grace and taste, and his numerous allusions to matters of merely local interest prevented his becoming a favourite in Attica . He was considered the inventor of parody and of a peculiar metre, the scazon ("halting iambic" as Murray calls it ) or choliamb , which substitutes a spondee for the final iambus of an iambic senarius, and is an appropriate form for the burlesque character of his poems. He composed in a form of

] Subscribe To This Site Greece Ancient History of Thassos Island Ancient Era Greece Ancient history has a lot to offer to all of us. Indeed the impact of such a history has been of high importance to the whole world Thassos Island has been of great interest in greek history for thousands of years. The first inhabitants of Thassos are said to be tribes of Thrace (Saioi, Sapes and Hedones) that settled on the island between 2000 and 1600 BC. It is certain though that Phoenicians and other ancient travellers settled on the island attracted by its gold, snow-white marble and mild climate. The historian Herodotus claims that the Phoenicians expelled the Tracians. Using their knowledge in mining, quarrying, shipbuilding and sailing they exploited the mines and then navigated in the nearby coastlines of Greece. They also made walls and cultivated the land. Other ancient tribes came to help and they were taught by the Phoenicians many elements of their civilization like manufacturing and trading. According to Greece Ancient History in time the Phoenicians were assimilated by the Greeks who were more in number and power than them. Soon Thassos was no longer under the political authority of the metropolitan Phoenicia and the inhabitants started exploiting the mines of Mount Pangeo on the mainland.

Back to Ancient History Sourcebook Ancient History Sourcebook: 11th Brittanica: Delian League DELIAN LEAGUE , or CONFEDERACY OF DELOS -the name given to a confederation of Greek states under the leadership of Athens, with its headquarters at Delos, founded in 478 B.C. shortly after the final repulse of the expedition of the Persians under Xerxes I. This confederacy, which after many modifications and vicissitudes was finally broken up by the capture of Athens by Sparta in 404, was revived in 378-7 (the "Second Athenian Confederacy") as a protection against Spartan aggression, and lasted, at least formally, until the victory of Philip II of Macedon at Chaeronea. These two confederations have an interest quite out of proportion to the significance of the detailed events which form their history. (See greece: Ancient History.) They are the first two examples of which we have detailed knowledge of a serious attempt at united action on the part of a large number of selfgoverning states at a relatively high level of conscious political development. The first league, moreover, in its later period affords the first example in recorded history of selfconscious imperialism in which the subordinate units enjoyed a specified lo~cal autonomy with an organized system, financial, military and juaicial. The second league is further interesting as the precursor of the Achaean and Aetolian Leagues. History.-

Pausanias ( ? - 470 BC) Nephew of the Spartan king Leonidas I, Pausanias was to become a regent to the king's son. He was general of the Spartan army at the battle of Plataea (479BC) where the Persians were expelled from Greece. Leading the Greek fleets, Pausanius secured most of Cyprus and conquered Byzantium, where he kept his fleet, protecting the Greek seafarers. Because of his many successes, Pausanias became quite unbearable, since he took on a bigheaded attitude, making himself unpopular with the Greek leaders. He was called back to Sparta since they had replaced him, but he was to return later as a private person, driving his own politics. He lived like a king and made plans of conquest to such a degree that the Spartan government accused him of treason, of which he was aquitted. Being a man of vision, he planned to overthrow the Spartan govern-ment with help of the helots, but the plans were revealed, and he fled to a temple for refuge. His mother and the rest of the Spartans blocked the entrance until he died of starvation. Pausanias had been constantly tormented by the fact that he had killed the young Byzantian woman Cleonice. He had ordered her to share his bed but when she came into his room he was already asleep.

History Blog In ancient Greece and in the period of ancient Rome following, hairstyles were a distinct attribute of the culture.  Typical of ancient Greek fashion in hairstyle was the preference for golden-red hair and bountiful locks for both men and women, with the fashion of longer hair and noticeable facial hair coming in and out of style at various times.  In ancient Athens the custom was for young boys to wear their hair until puberty when it would be cut in a ceremonial act, only to be grown long again as an adolescent reached manhood.  Women generally did not have the same public presence as men, since their roles were really defined by their relationships to their fathers and husbands, but would typically wear their hair covered by a net of gold mesh, or a coif, or would tie their hair back into a knot at the crown of the head.  Men would use this style of tying the hair in a knot as well and use ornamental clasps of gold or ivory or other rich material to keep the hair in place. For Greeks, and for the Romans of certain periods that followed, specific features of hair were considered more desirable:  thick, wavy hair had its popularity at one point, alternating with short, close-cropped hair for men, as did carefully cut beards for men, and blonde hair was considered preferable to the more prevalent dark hair of the region.  In ancient Greek texts, the gods and heroes, for example, are often described as having the idealized golden hair.

Periander (ca. 625-585 BC) Dictator of Corinth who succeeded his father Cypselos. Periander was a very wise ruler, and was to be considered as one of the seven sages of Greece. He was married to Melissa and they had at least two sons, one called Psammetichus. Periander was a friend of Athens, and also had strong ties with Miletus and Lydia. He conquered Corcyra and Epidaurus, and shared Athens's animosity towards Aegina He also founded several colonies: Potidae in Chalcidici, Apollonia and Epidamnus by the Adriaic Sea and established and enlarged the shipping routes to the Etruscans. He also traded with Egypt. Between the Saronic and Corinthian Gulfs he had a dragway for ships constructed (diolkos) which can be seen to this day. He also made Corinth a cultural centre, and had poets like Arion at his court. He also had buildings made in the Doric order, and it was during his rule the famous Corinthian painted pottery was developed. However, Periander was also slightly mad and cruel. He killed his wife in a fit of jealousy, and when he realised what he had done he was filled with remorse and had intercourse with her corpse. He surveilled his subjects, and if he suspected someone of being a threat he had them executed. When on of his sons was killed in Corcyra he had 300 of the leading families sons shipped to Lydia as a gift. He told the Lydians the boys were to be eunuchised, but they were spared his grim destiny.

Problems BC at Chaeronea in Boeotia, when Philip beat the Athenians and their allies. The military feat that won that day was a cavalry charge by Philip's eighteen year old son, Alexander the Great. Alexander seems to have inherited much from his brilliant father: physical courage, arrogance, extreme intelligence, and, most importantly, unbridled ambition. For when his father died in BC at an assassin's hand, Alexander quickly consolidated his power and set out to conquer the world. At the age of twenty-one Aristotle . With all these qualities, he took up his father's ambition and prosecuted it with a swiftness that is almost frightening. BC, Alexander crossed over into Asia Minor to begin his conquest of Persia.

Home Common Errors Museums Desert Silver 13 November 2010 Desert Silver Knowledge of the ancient nations was originally based on written sources. The first archaeologists lived during the Renaissance. Vasari describes how Brunelleschi went searching for antiquities and how the inhabitants of Rome called him a treasure hunter. The great discoveries created a third source of knowledge: ethnology. Foreign nations have customs that help us understand ancient customs. Western understanding of Zoroastrianism improved greatly when modern researchers met the believers and discovered that the ancient religion had survived. It’s comparable to the discovery of a coelacanth This is why I just read Desert Silver , in which Sigrid van Roode describes nomadic and traditional jewelry from the Middle East. It accompanies a double exposition of jewelry and scarfs in the Leiden Rijksmuseum van oudheden. I was fascinated by the objects. Until now, I always thought that veils, especially niqabs and burqas, were meant to deny women their personality, but I suddenly realize that the amulets, earrings, nose-piercings, bracelets, anklets, and rings have exactly the opposite function. And just imagine the sound of all those pieces of metal: you can distinguish women even without seeing them. It's easy to understand why Schliemann's competitors believed he had bought the "treasure of Priam" on a modern market
