Greek armor consisted of an average plumed helmet, a weapon, a shield, the breastplate, boots, and much more. It provided a lot of protection from oncoming attacks. Look at the pictures above and below to see some examples of Greek armor.

Greek jewelry was, in my opinion, very beautiful. The Greeks used agate, pearl, opal, gold, garnet, and amethyst in their priceless jewels. They also used gems to make wax seals for scrolls, scripts, letters, and much more. The Greek jewelry made a nice edition to many togas that the people of ancient Greece wore.

Greek clothing consisted of the average toga and sandals. They were fairly easy to get on. Greek togas had to be folded in half, with a hole in the center of the top. You would stick your head in the hole and hold your arms out with the rest. Then you would pull the fabric under your arms to your body, and hold it on with a long piece of thread or string. The sandals were lace up, with nothing covering your bare foot except for the bottom, or sole, of the sandal.

Greek culture and religion are very interesting. The main things in these concepts are the Twelve Olympians and their myths on how something happens or what happened before they lived. Some famous Greek mythological creatures are Pegasus, the satyrs, Echidna, the gorgons (mainly Medusa), the Harpies, the Minotaur, the Chimera, the Hydra, Scylla, the Cyclopes, Ladon, and the Sphinx. Some famous Greek heroes are Heracles, Theseus, Jason, the Dioscouri, Perseus, Achilles, Odysseus, Atlanta, Orion, Cadmus, Oedipus, and Orpheus.

Greece is in southeastern Europe, and its peninsula reaches from the Balkans into the Mediterranean Sea It is very mountainous, and has many gulfs and bays. Also, forests fill some parts of this beautiful country. A lot of Greece is suitable for growing wheat, barley, citrus, dates, and olives.

After the Greek Dark Ages, many things started to happen in Greece. Cities would band up together in groups and then call themselves city states. The city states each had their own government, with their own personalities, goals, laws, and customs. Each Greek citizen was very loyal to their city state. Some of the only things city states had in common were their gods and their language. Five of the most powerful city states were Athens, Corinth, Sparta, Megara, and Argos.

Ancient Greek art was definitely unique. It was sort of like Egyptian art in some things because of the sideways people. In almost all art the Greeks created, there were naked or nearly naked people. Greek music was used in carnivals, fairs, religious ceremonies, weddings, holidays, birthdays, or name days. Music and dance have been in Greek culture for thousands of years. Two of the most important instruments were the lyre (a plucked string instrument) and the aulos ( a double-pipe, double- reed instrument). Greek Music

A few of the many Greek inventions created in the early times is the Olympic Games, money, maps, thermometers, steam engines, mathematics, Hippocratic oaths, medicine, theater and music, Archimedes screw, astronomy, umbrellas, alarm clocks, ships, and weapons. Note: some of these things were already made before the Greeks, but they still used those items and principles. Some famous Greek scientists are Thales of Miletus, Democcritus of Abdera, Hippocrates of Cos, Aristotle of Stagira, Euclid, Aristarchus of Samos, Archimedes of Syracuse, Eratosthenes of Cyrene, Hipparchus of Nicaea, Strabo of Amasia, Ptolemy of Alexandria, and Galen of Pergamon.

Traders, tourists, and civilians were all involved in Greek trade and commerce. Many traders were Greek, but other countries people also traded. The Greeks welcomed the ships into their ports. Greek travel and commerce organizations were in countries like Syria, Persia, Arabia, Egypt, and India, as well as North Africa and eastern Mediterranean. Some of the lead trading cities were Alexandria, Byzantium, Rhodes, Ephesus, and Miletus. Two famous Greek merchants are Aristeas of Proconnesus and Pytheas of Massilia. Some items the ancient Greeks traded were wine, olive oil, luxury items, precious metals, grains, timber, Iron, oil, silver, olives, spices, gold flax, and copper.

Who founded Greece? What did they do for fun? Who settled the land first? Why is Greece called Greece? Who owned the land before the Greeks? How did they learn? How did Greece change over the centuries? What plants were common? What animals were common? How many people lived there? How long did it take to found Greece? Where did the people come from? How did they come up with their myths? NOTE: Some of these questions could be answered, but I didnt think to.

How many people were in an average Greek orchestra? How likely was it for people to paint or be a scholar? Who made the Temple of Zeus? Who had the idea for Athens? How long did the Olympics last? How many people could compete in the Olympics? How many different sports were in the Olympics? Who created the Olympics? Who created chariot racing? Who brought wrestling to Greece? Did they have holidays? What ended the civilization? Were they wealthy? How long did they thrive?
