ANCIENT GREEKS:THE ANCIENT GREEKS CREATED A CIVILISATION FOR ABOUT THE 8 CENTURY BC.GREECE IS A COUNTRY OF ROUGGE MOUNTAINS, IN GREECE TRAVELLING WAS DIFFICULT, BUT THEY DEVELOPED SMALL SEPARATES CITIES ATENAS AND SPARTA.

GREEK GOVERNMENT:THE ANCIENT GREEKS IN ATHENS INTRODUCED A NEW FORM OF GOVERNMENT CALLED DEMOCRACY.DEMOCRACY THEN GAVE ALL MALE CITIZENS THE RIGHT TO ATTEND PUBLIC MEETINGS AND TO VOTE ON DECISIONS ABOUT HOW THE STATE SHOULD BE RUN. WOMEN HAD NO SAY IN GOVERNMENT, LITTLE FREEDOM AND FEW RIGTHS. SLAVES AND FOREIGNERS HAD NO RIGHTS AT ALL.ALL IMPORTANT DECISIONS WERE MADE AT ASSEMBLY OF CITIZENS CALLED THE EKKLESIA.THE AGORA WAS AN OPEN AREA SURROUNDED BY SHOPS AND BUILDINGS.PUNISHMENT: PRISION WAS NOT THE MOST COMMON WAY OF PUNISHING WRONG-DOERS IN ATHENS.CRIMINALS MIGHTBE FINED OR HAVE THEIR PROPERTY TAKEN, OR THEY COULD BE EXILED. MURDERERS WERE USUALLY EXECUTED. SALVES WERE WHIPPED OR BRANDED FOR CRIMES.OSTRACISM: AN UNUSUAL FORM OF PUSHINESMENT WAS OSTRACISM, THET HAVE TO LEAVE ATHENS FOR 10 YEARS, WITHIN TEN DAYS OF THE DECISION BEING TAKEN.GREKS AT WAR: THE GREEK CITY STATES SPEND SOW MUCH TIME FIGHTIG EACH OTHER THAT IT WAS IMPORTANT THAT THEY HADVARMIS FULL OF STRONG, HEALTHY SOLDERS.ALL CITIZENS WOULD FAIT FOR THEY COUNTRY WHEN WAS NECESARY.

DAILY LIFE: LIFE IN ATHENS WERE VERY DIFFERENT FOR MEN AND WOMEN, THE RICH AND POOR, FREE CITIZENS AND SLAVES.WOMEN WERE EXPECTED TO SPEND ALMOST ALL THEIR TIME LOOKING AFTER THE HOME AND THE CHILDREN, WHILE SLAVES HAD NO FREEDOM AT ALL, THEY WERE AT THE COMMAND OF THEIR MASTERS.

FARMING: ANCIENT GREEKS FARMS WERE SMALL. FARMERS KEPT GOATS AND SHEEP FOR THEIR WOULD AND SKINS, BE USED TO MAKE CLOTHING.THEIR MILK WOULD BE DRUNK OR MADE INTO CHEESE. THEY KEPT AN OX OR DONKEY TO PULL CARTS, SOME CHICKENS AND SOME BEESTO MAKE HONEY. THEIR MAIN CROPS WERE OLIVES, GRAPES, VEGETABLES AND FRUIT, AND WHEAT AND BARLEY TO MAKE PORRIDGE AND BREAD.

FARMING:

FOOD AND DRINK: ANCIENT GREEK FOOD WAS PLAIN AND HEALTHY.POOR PEOPLE WOULD LIVE MAINLY ON ROUGH BREAD OR PORRIDGE. WEALTHY FAMILIES HUNTED ANIMALS SUCH AS DEER, WILD BOAR, RABBITS AND HARES. MOST PEOPLE DRANK WINE, WICH THEY MIXED WITH WATER.

FOOD AND DRINK:

DAILY LIFECLOTHING: GREEKS DID NOT WEAR COMPLICATED GARMENTS MADE FROM SHAPED PIECES OF CLOTH SEWN TOGETHER. THEIR BASIC GARMENT WAS A TUNIC, MADE FROM TWO RECTANGULAR PIECES OF CLOTH. MEN’S CLOTHES: MEN WORE A SHORT TUNIC, CALLED CHITON. OVER THIS, THEY WORE A LARGE PIEE OF WOOLLEN CLOTH CALLED A HIMATION. THIS WAS WRAPPED AROUND THE BODY, AND IN COLD WEATHER COULD BE PULLED OVER THE HEAD. SOLDIERS OFTEN WORE A CLOAK MADE FROM THICKER CLOTH, CALLED A CHAMYS. THIS WAS FASTENED AT THE NECK WITH A CLASP. BOYS USUALLY WENT BAREFOOT IN SUMMER, BUT MEN WORE SHOES. THESE RANGED FROM LIGHT SANDALS TO STURDY BOOTS.

HAIRSTYLES:MEN COULD WEAR THEIR HAIR SHORT OR LONG. YOUNG MEN WERE USUALLY CLEANSHAVEN, BUT OLDER MEN USALLY SHOWN

WITH BEARDS. WOMEN WORE THEIR HAIR LONG, OFTEN PULLED BACK INTO A PONY TAIL OR A BUN. WOMEN OFTEN WORE RIBBONS AND SCARVES IN THEIR HAIR.

WOMEN´S CLOTHES:WOMEN WORE A LONGER TUNIC REACHING DOWN TO THEIR ANKLES.

SOMETIMES THE TUNIC WAS SIMPLY TAIROLED, BUT MORE ELABORATE TUNICS HAD SLEVEES AND WERE FASTENED AT THE WAIST AND THE HIPS. LIKE MEN,

WOMEN WORE A HIMATION OVER THIS TUNIC. PICTURES OF WOMEN RARELY SHOW THEM WEARING SHOES, BUT THEY DID WEAR LIGHT SANDALS.

WOMEN´S WORK:WOMEN’S WORK: ATHENIAN WOMEN LED VERY RESTRICTED LIVES. THEY WERE EXPECTED TO SPEND MOST OF THEIR TIME IN THE HOME, LOOKING AFTER THE HOUSE AND THE YOUNGER CHILDREN, PREPARING AND COOKING THE MEALS, AND SPINING AND WEAVING CLOTH.IN RICHER HOMES, HOWEVER, MANY OF THESE JOBS WERE DONE BY SLAVES.

DAILY LIFE:A NEW BIRTH: ATHENIANS DID NOT HAVE LARGE FAMILIES. BOYS WERE VALUED MUCH MORE THAN GIRLS. GIRLS ALSO HAD THE DISADVANTAGE OF NEEDING A DOWRY WHEN THEY MARRIED. WHEN A NEW CHILD BORN, ITS FATHER PROCLAIMED THE BIRTH BY HANGING AN OLIVE BRANCH BY THE FRONT DOOR. ABOUT TEN DAYS AFTER THE BIRTH THERE WAS A CELEBRATORY MEAL, AND THE FAMILY GAVE PRESENTS TO THE NEW BABY. POOR WOMEN HAD TO CARE FOR THEIR OWN CHILDREN, BUT MANY MOTHERS HAD A SLAVE TO HELP NURSE THE BABY. POOR WOMEN HAD TO CARE FOR THEIR OWN CHILDREN, BUT MANY MOTHERS HAD A SLAVE TO HELP NURSE THE BABY.

CHILDHOOD GAMES:UNTIL THE AGE 7, BOYS AND GIRLS WERE BROUGHT UP AT HOME. THEY PLAYED WITH DOLLS AND BALLS. MOTHERS WOULD TELL THEIR CHILDREN STORIES AND RHYMES. AFTER THE AGE

OF 7, GIRLS BEGAN TO HELP AROUND THE HOUSE, BUT BOYS WERE WENT TO SCHOOL.

SCHOOL:SCHOOL WAS HELD IN THE HOUSE OF THE TEACHER. BOYS LEARNED TO

READ AND WRITE, AND TO DO ARITHMETIC. THEY LEARNED HISTORY FROM GREEK WRITERS. AND AS THEY GOT OLDER, THEY LEARNED TO SING AND

PLAY THE LYRE OR FLUTE.

EDUCATION OF GIRLS:ATHENIANS GIRLS DON´T GO TO SCHOOL. HOWEVER IN RICHER FAMILIES THEY

MIGHT HAVE A TUTOR AT HOME, WHO WOULD TEACH THEM TO READ AND WRITE, AND TO PLAY MUSIC AND SING. ATHENIAN GIRLS DID DON´T TAKE PART IN SPORTS AND EXERCISES LIKE THE BOYS. SPARTAN GIRLS, IN CONTRAST, DID

EXERCISES IN PUBLIC. THIS WAS VERY SHOCKING TO ATHENIANS.

GETTING MARRIED: AN ATHENIAN GIRL MARRIED AT THE AGE OF 14 OR 15. SHE HAD NO SAY ABOUT WHO SHE MARRIED.

MARRIAGES WERE ARRANGED BETWEEN THE GROOM ANDTHE FATHER OF THE BRIDGE. GETTING MARRIED WAS A IMPORTANT

STEP OF A GIRL. HER FAVOURITE DOLLS, CLOTHES AND TOYS WERE BURNT ON THE ALTAR AS AN OFFERING TO THE GOD.

THE WEDDING DAY: AT THE BRIDE´S HOUSE, THE MORNING WAS SPENT PREPARING A WEDDING FEAST.

SLAVERY AND FREEDOM: ALL ATHENIANS WHO COULD AFFORD IT HAD SLAVES. ONLY THE POOREST FAMILIES HAD NO SLAVES AT ALL. OLD AGE AND DEATH: OLD PEOPLE WERE RESPECTED FOR THEIR WISDOM, AND CARED FOR BY THEIR CHILDREN. WHEN SOMEONE

DIED, THEY WERE BOUND IN WAXED CLOTHS AND PUT IN A COFFIN STAYED IN THE HOUSE FOR DAY BEFORE THE FUNERAL.

MYSTERIES AND ORACLES: IN ADDITION TO THE FORMAL AND PUBLIC RELIGIOUS CEREMONIES THERE WERE ALSO MANY RITES WICH WERE OPEN TO AND KNOW ONLY BY THE INITIATED WHO PERFORMED THEM.PERSONAL OPINION: ALTHOUGH THE HISTTORICAL REVEALS MUCH ABOUT FORMAL RELIGIOUS OCCASIONS AND CEREMONY, WE SHOULD REMEMBER THAT THE GREEK RELIGION WAS IN FACT PRACTISED ANYWHERE, AT ANY TIME, BY PRIVATE INDIVIDUALS IN A VERY PERSONAL WAY.

FESTIVALS AND GAMES:ATHLETIC GAMES AND COMPETITIONS IN MUSIC AND THEATRE WERE HELD DURING FESTIVALS SUCH AS THE

CITY DIONYSIA OF ATHENS AND THE PANHELLENIC GAMES AT THE MOST IMPORTANT SACRED SITES.

TEMPLES:THE TEMPLE WAS THE PLACE WHERE, ON SPECIAL OCASIONS, RELIGION TOOK ON A MORE FORMAL

TONE.GODS WERE WORSHIPPED AT SACRED SITES AND TEMPLES.

• TEMPLE OF NIKE: •TEMPLE OF PARTENON:

WITH FORMAL RITUALS WICH INCLUDED ANIMAL SACRIFICES AND LIBATIONS.MYHTS: ARE THE ORIGINS OF MAKIND AND GIVE THE GODS A HUMAN FACE.

GREEK RELIGION:THE GODS IN OLYMPUS

IN THE ANCIENT GREEK WORLD RELIGION WAS PERSONAL.THE MOST IMPORTANT GODS ARE:ATHENA, APOLLO, POSEIDON, HERMES, HERA, APHRODITE, DEMETER, ARES, ARTEMIS, HADES, HEPHAISTOS AND DIONYSUS.

MYTH OF ARIADNA:ARIADNA IS THE DAUGHTER OF THE KING MINOS AND PASIFAE OF CRETA. THEIR FATHER HAD IN ONE MAZE A MINOTAURO, THEY HAD TO FEED WITH PERSONS EACH NINE YEARS. ARIADNA SEE TO TESEO AND THEY FALL IN LOVE, ARIADNA TELL HIM IF I HELP YOU,YOU WILL MARRY WITH ME AND GET AWAY FROM MY FATHER, AND TESEO ACCEPTS. WHEN MINOS KNOWN THAT THEY HAD KILL TO THE MINOTAURO HE WAS IRRITATED . TESEO ABANDONED ARIADNA IN A BEACH. THEN ARIADNA FALL IN LOVE WITH DIONYSUS AND THEY HAD FOUR SONS: TOANTE, ESTASFILO, ENOPION AND PEPARETO. ARIADNA DIE BUT THEY DON’T KNOW WHY.
