Come Conquer The Known World
If Greece Can Do It, So Can You!
A very diverse Greece, conquered all of the world that they could, thanks to Alexander the Great. With a philosophical Athens and an aggressive Spartan, they could do anything.
Greece's Economy
From 800-600 BCE, women really did not have rights. They could not go to school and they had to be in the best shape possible. Women had to stay at home while the men did everything. That ended during the Hellenistic age. Women were allowed to come put of the house and women gained more rights. Women's rights are greatly acknowledged now.
Political Structure
Each city in Greece had a different political structure. The main ones were monarchies, aristocracies, and oligarchies. These different political structures did not always blend together the best they could but, it worked.
Religion
All of Greece was polytheistic. They believed in Mount Olympus and the Greek gods. There are statues all around Greece of their gods and goddesses.
Intellectual
The city of Sparta education was based around military training. They were trained to defend their city. The city of Athens on the other hand, believed more in philosophy and education. If boys could afford to, they attended school. The believed in defending their city-states and being smart.
Social Set Up
There were classes in Sparta. The bottom class was the slaves. Then went the free people that worked in trade. After that was the native people and people that owned land. At the top is the people that carried out laws. Only free males could move up classes.
