Religion
Religion was important to the ancient Greeks because they believed that it would make their lives better while they were living. They also believed the gods would take care of them when they died.
The Ancient Greeks believed in many different gods and goddesses.
The Greeks built temples in every town for one god or goddess.

Mount Olympus
The Greeks believed that twelve most important gods and goddesses lived at the top of Mount Olympus.
They were a family and, just like a human family, they argued as well as looking after each other.

Government and City-States
Because Greece is made up of many islands, and has many tall mountains, the Greeks began to build city-states instead of one country.
A city-state is a city with its own laws, rulers, and money.
City-states were cities that acted like countries.

THIS IS SPARTA!
Sparta was a Greek city-state. Sparta was very powerful and had its own
army. Sparta conquered other city-states to
gain wealth and power. There were three classes of people in
Sparta. Citizens, non-citizens, and slaves.

Sparta’s Classes
Only men born in Sparta were citizens. Women were not allowed to become
citizens; however, women were allowed to own land and businesses, which gave them more freedom than other Greek city-states.
The second class in Sparta was people who came from other city-states or other countries. They could own businesses but not become citizens.
The third class was slaves.

Athens
Athens was another important Greek city-state. The people of Athens wanted to rule themselves
and not have a king or queen. Athens became the world’s first democracy
around 508 B.C. A democracy is a government in which all
citizens can vote and have equal say in what happens.
Women, people born outside of Athens, and slaves could not vote.
Education was important in Athens. However, boys were the only ones to attend school or play sports.

The Olympics The Greeks invented athletic contests and held
them in honor of their gods. The most famous games held at Olympia, South-
West of Greece, took place every four years. The ancient Olympics seem to have begun in
the early 700 BC, in honor of Zeus. No women were allowed to watch the games
and only Greek nationals could participate. These games featured mainly athletic but also
combat and chariot racing events. During the games, all conflicts among the
participating city-states were postponed until the games were finished

The Olympic Rings
The symbol was originally designed in 1912 by Baron Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games.
According to de Coubertin, the ring colors with the white background stand for those colors that appeared on all the national flags that competed in the Olympic games at that time.
