Ancient Greek Civilization
- Rise of Macedonia
- The first influence of Greek culture in Macedon came from the colonies along the
shore founded in the 8th cent. B.C. and after; they had ties to their mother cities that
tended to isolate them politically from Macedon. By the 7th cent. B.C. there was
developing in W Macedon a political unit led by a Greek-speaking family, which
assumed the title of king and aggrandized itself. Macedon was a Persian tributary in
500 B.C. but took no real part in the Persian Wars. Alexander I (d. 450 B.C.) was the
first Macedonian king to enter into Greek politics.

- Conquests of Alexander
- One of the greatest military geniuses in history, Alexander the Great was born in
356 B.C. in Pella, Macedonia. The son of Philip of Macedon, who was an excellent
Army General and organizer. His mother was Olympias, princess of Epirus. At the
age of 20, Alexander assembled forces in Greek Cities in Corinth that recognised
him as their Leader. His Army mainly consisted of Macedonian soldiers and also
some Greeks. He then invaded the Persian Empire, but whilst he was at war in
Thrace, some Greek cities rebelled, which brought him back South. Whereupon he
captured the city of Thebes and demolished it as a warning to other Greek cities of
what would become of them if they tried to resist his rule.

- Hellenistic Learning
- In 336 B.C., Alexander the Great became the leader of the
Greek kingdom of Macedonia. By the time he died 13 years
later, Alexander had built an empire that stretched from
Greece all the way to India. That brief but thorough
empire-building campaign changed the world: It spread Greek
ideas and culture from the Eastern Mediterranean to Asia.
Historians call this era the “Hellenistic period.

- Science and Technology
- Like modern scientists, the Greeks first made observations of
nature. Then they formed hypotheses, to explain their observation.
The Greeks technology have put their powers of observation to
practical use as they developed sophisticated technology

- History and Politics
- Greek writers also discussed politics and government. For example,
Plato wrote a book called The Republic, which represents his views
about the ideal government. The Greek writer Herodotus is often called
''the father of history'' because he asked why certain events happened.

- Religion
- The ancient Greeks were a deeply religious people. They worshipped
many gods whom they believed appeared in human form and yet were
endowed with superhuman strength and ageless beauty. The Iliad and
the Odyssey, our earliest surviving examples of Greek literature, record
men's interactions with various gods and goddesses whose characters
and appearances underwent little change in the centuries that
followed.

- Arts
- In around 450 B.C., the Athenian general Pericles tried to consolidate his
power by using public money, the dues paid to Athens by its allies in the
Delian League coalition, to support the city-state’s artists and thinkers.
Most of all, Pericles paid artisans to build temples and other public
buildings in the city of Athens. He reasoned that this way he could win the
support of the Athenian people by doling out plenty of construction jobs;
at the same time, by building public monuments
