Great article below:\n\nAthena\n\n"Athena is probably one of the more famous of the Goddesses of old. Images of her temple dominating the acropolis of Athens are familiar the world over, yet she was also worshipped in places outside Athens and Greece and her origins link her to distant north African divinities. She was held sacred in many other cities including Argos, Sparta, Troy, Smyrna, Epidaurus, Troezen and Pheneus"\n\nRead more:\n\nhttp://www.womanworship.co.uk/documents/Athene.htm?menu=men

you can't compare them. Troy is the City-Kingdom where the Epic Iliad happened. \n\nYou may want to compare Iliad and Odyssey.  The first one chronicles the battle between Greeks and Trojans.  The second one tells of the story of Odysseus, after the Trojan War, and the dangers and adventures he met along the way.  Both epics were written, scholars say, by the blind poet Homer.

Given the length and depth of the Odyssey I would recommend going to your local library and borrowing a copy- and if its a description you are after you could look for a version aimed at students as these would most likely give extra detail, insight and analysis.

Cradle of modern civilization for a start.  Democracy as we known it is an Athenian concept.  Philosophy has its roots in ancient Greece.\n\nThe islands of Greece are geographically different, but here's an interesting story.  The Atlantis myth (fact?) emerged after the volcanic eruption of Santorini wiped out the Minoan civilization.  The island of Atlantis and its advanced civilization was wiped out in the process, so the story goes.

Finally a great question but difficult to answer the pass is now a different size and is a major tourist draw.  Here is one of the earliest descriptions of size:  "At the time, the mountain pass of Thermopylae consisted of a pass so narrow that two chariots could barely move abreast—on the western side of the pass stood the sheer side of the mountain, while the east side was the sea. Along the path was a series of three «gates», and at the center gate a short wall that had been erected by the Phocians in the previous century to aid in their defense against Thessalian invasions". \n\n\nGod Bless You and The Southern People

Mainly from "tribute" -- taxes.  The cities they took from the Persians paid annual tribute to Athens, greatly enriching the city.  The Athenian Greeks also used the conquered areas as colonies, giving land grants to Greek citizens in the conquered areas, as there was little land left in Attica (where Athens is) that wasn't already owned.\nThe tribute was in the form of grain, precious metals, and work products (leather, pottery, etc.) which Athens usually traded (except for the grain) to further enrich the city.
