The billiant generalship of Kimon extended the Athenian empire along the shores of Asia Minor, so that when he in his turn was ostracised in 461 B.C., Pericles presided over the Golden Age of unparalleled intellectual and artistic achievements coinciding with a political decline, almost imperceptible at first, but leading to the outbreak of the disastrous Peloponnesian War (431-404 B. C.) in which the personification of Greek virtues and vices, Alcibiades, played the leading part.  The year of Athens' final defeat and humiliation also witnessed his murder.

Yes it was the case during the Trojan war. The Trojans stole the Helen and the Greeks asked Archilles to help them. And they defeated Troy. It was once thought that it was a myth or story. But some archeologists came to find some buildings that were burnt down and they dated the time that the war was thought to have happened!

For pre-history, one would have to consider contests related to hunting activities (running, throwing various items like rocks and spears, etc.).  Throwing knucklebones and other gambling games would appear to have prehistoric origins, and wrestling might not merely be prehistoric but prehuman.\n\nWe know that ancient peoples played ball games, as we have representations of these.  Greek vase paintings show a ball game played with sticks, rather like field hockey.\n\nThe original Olympic Games, which are based on funeral games recorded in legends, included various running and hurling contests plus boxing, wrestling and a form of no-holds-barred fighting called the "pankration," which was often fatal to the competitors.  Horse and chariot racing were added later  The Games have been dated to 776 BCE, which is recent in the span of the human race.

The ancient city of Troy was located in what today is called Turkey, along the western coastline, across the Aegean Sea from Greece. This area is also called Asia Minor.\nThey weren't Greeks, but other than Trojans, I'm not sure what they called themselves or were called by others.

Though there is not an exact date, he must have died sometime between 1230 bc and 1180 bc, or at least that is when historians and archeologist believe the real Trojan war took place. Assuming Homers retelling of the war was somewhat correct that Achilles did perish there. Sorry I can not give an exact date, but very interesting question.

Greek mythology consists in part in a large collection of narratives that explain the origins of the world and detail the lives and adventures of a wide variety of gods, goddesses, heroes, and heroines. These accounts were initially fashioned and disseminated in an oral-poetic tradition; our surviving sources of Greek mythology are literary reworkings of this oral tradition. Greek mythology was also reflected in artifacts, some of them works of art, notably the repertory of vase-painters. The Greeks themselves referred to the myths and associated artworks to throw light on cult practices and ritual traditions that were already ancient and, at times, poorly understood.\n\nThe span of stories and characters in Greek mythology ranges from the atrocities of the early gods to the brutal wars of Troy and Thebes, from the youthful pranks of Hermes to the heartfelt grief of Demeter for Persephone, all depicted in minute detail in a bewildering range of media. The cast of characters includes many gods, goddesses, heroes, heroines, monsters, daemons, nymphs, satyrs, and centaurs.

The history of Greece began with the Stone Age hunters and early farmers. This time period was followed by the civilizations of the Minoan and Mycenaean kings. Next came the Dark Ages which was a time period characterized by many wars and invasions. Greece was then invaded by the Dorians in approximately 1100 BC. Finally, in the period from 500-336 BC Greece was divided into small city states. A city-state consisted of a city and its surrounding countryside. \n\n\nChronology\n\n6000 - 2900 BC Neolithic Period \n2900-2000 BC Early Bronze Age \n2000-1400 BC Minoan Age \n1600-1100 BC Mycenaean Age \n1100-750 BC The Dark Ages \n750-500 BC Archaic Period \n500-336 BC Classical Period \n336-146 BC Hellenistic Period \n\n\nhttp://www.cedarville.edu/academics/education/resource/schools/chca/othergrades/greecetd/greece1.htm\n--------------\n3000 BC In early Bronze Age settlers from Asia Minor came to the island and fused with earlier Neolithic occupants to develop what is known as the Early Cycladic culture. They worked in marble and stone and traded over sea.\n\n1600 BC During the Late Bronze Age Siphnos was under the cultural andcommercial hegemony of the Minoans of Crete. It is believed that theCretans founded the town named Minoa but remains are as yet undiscovered.\n\nIn 1400 BC the explosion of Santorini destroyed the major centers of Minoan civilization the Mycenaeans became the dominant power in the area and used the islands as relay staions to the near east, replacing many of the indigenous people with Greeks.\n\nAt about 1100 BC during the dark days of the Dorian Invasion, Sifnos was colonized by Ionians from Attika, led by their chieftan Alkenor who became the islands first sovereign.\n\nIn the 8th century BC Greeks began to think of themselves as an ethnic unity. City States began to grow up on the mainland and the islands. Sifnos was under the domination of neighboring Milos. It was then that Gold was discovered on the island and the inhabitants became quite rich, paving their capital in Parian Marble and building a treasury in Delphi. It was said that every year the Sifniots would present a solid golden egg to the God Apollo. One year out of guilt they gave him an egg that was merely plated in Gold. The angry God destroyed their mines. It was also during this period that Samian pirates plundered the island. With the riches they took, they aquired the island of Hydra for their home. When the mines of Sifnos brought forth no more precious metal the island was reduced to poverty.\n\nIn the fifth century BC Sifnos was part of the Greek alliance of City states that defeated the Persians at Marathon, Salamis and Platea. Sifnos became a part of the Delian League and came under the authority of Athens. During the Peleponisian wars, Sifnos managed to stay out of the conflict. In 338 it fell under the influence of Phillip of Macedonia. When Persians captured it in 332 Alexander the Great sent a squadron to expell them. When Alexander died and the empire was devided among his generals, Sifnos fell under the influence of the Ptolemies of Egypt until 146bc when they fell to the Romans.\n\nhttp://www.greektravel.com/sifnos/history.htm

Hi,\n\nI think I can answer the question.\n\nRome and Greece are in close proximity. Ideas would have flowed between them even as early as the Bronze Age.\n\nHowever, later on, Rome conquered Greece and the other Greek kingdoms in what we now would call the Middle East. Remember, Alexander the Great conquered the whole Persian Empire and ended up at the Indus River in India. (I am not saying Rome got that far. The Roman Empire settles around the Mediterranean. But, a lot of the Greek kingdoms were assimilated.)\n\nNow Rome was a backwater as far as culture was concerned. When the Romans conquered Greece etc they borrowed a lot of Greek culture. The Greeks used to describe everything in terms of their own culture and the Romans picked up the habit. For example, Zeus in Greece was equated with Jupiter in Rome. Both were sky gods. Venus, the Roman goddess of love was equated with Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love. Because Greek culture was seen as superior, mythologies were copied.\n\nTo give you some idea of the strength of Greek culture, when the Roman Empire fell in the west (Approx 450 AD), it continued in the east and is now known as the Byzantine Empire. The interesting thing is that the official language was Greek, not Latin. Greek had been preserved in the Roman Empire in the east for over 500 years and Latin had not really penetrated the area.

It refers not only to the geographical peninsula of modern Greece, but also to areas of Hellenic culture that were settled in ancient times by Greeks: Cyprus, the Aegean coast of Turkey (then known as Ionia), Sicily and southern Italy (known as Magna Graecia), and the scattered Greek settlements on the coasts of what are now Albania, Bulgaria, Egypt, Libya, southern France, southern Spain, Catalonia, Georgia, Romania, and Ukraine.\n\nThere are no fixed or universally agreed upon dates for the beginning or the end of the Ancient Greek period. In common usage it refers to all Greek history before the Roman Empire, but historians use the term more precisely. Some writers include the periods of the Greek-speaking Mycenaean civilization that collapsed about 1100 BC, though most would argue that the influential Minoan was so different from later Greek cultures that it should be classed separately.\n\nIn the modern Greek school-books, "ancient times" is a period of about 1000 years (from the catastrophe of Mycenae until the conquest of the country by the Romans) that is divided in four periods, based on styles of art as much as culture and politics. The historical line starts with Greek Dark Ages (1100–800 BC). In this period artists use geometrical schemes such as squares, circles, lines to decorate amphoras and other pottery. The archaic period (800–500 BC) represents those years when the artists made larger free-standing sculptures in stiff, hieratic poses with the dreamlike "archaic smile". In the classical years (500–323 BC) artists perfected the style that since has been taken as exemplary: "classical", such as the (Parthenon). In the Hellenistic years that followed the conquests of Alexander (323–146 BC), also known as Alexandrian, aspects of Hellenic civilization expanded to Egypt and Bactria.\n\nTraditionally, the Ancient Greek period was taken to begin with the date of the first Olympic Games in 776 BC, but many historians now extend the term back to about 1000 BC. The traditional date for the end of the Ancient Greek period is the death of Alexander the Great in 323 BC (The following period is classed Hellenistic) or the integration of Greece into the Roman Republic in 146 BC.\n\nThese dates are historians' conventions and some writers treat the Ancient Greek civilization as a continuum running until the advent of Christianity in the 3rd century.\n\nAncient Greece is considered by most historians to be the foundational culture of Western Civilization. Greek culture was a powerful influence in the Roman Empire, which carried a version of it to many parts of Europe. Ancient Greek civilization has been immensely influential on the language, politics, educational systems, philosophy, art and architecture of the modern world, particularly during the Renaissance in Western Europe and again during various neo-Classical revivals in 18th and 19th century Europe and The Americas.\n\n\nOrigins\nThe Greeks are believed to have migrated southward into the Balkan peninsula in several waves beginning in the late 3rd millennium BC, the last being the Dorian invasion. The period from 1600 BC to about 1100 BC is described in History of Mycenaean Greece known for the reign of King Agamemnon and the wars against Troy as narrated in the epics of Homer. The period from 1100 BC to the 8th century BC is a "dark age" from which no primary texts survive, and only scant archaeological evidenc

Sumer (or Shumer, Egyptian Sangar, Bib. Shinar, native ki-en-gir) (3500-2334 BCE) was an ancient civilization located in the southern part of Mesopotamia (modern day southeastern Iraq) from the time of settlement by the Sumerians until the time of Babylonia. The term "Sumerian" applies to all speakers of the Sumerian language. It is the oldest civilization in the world.

This goes back to the time when Greek mythology was in its halcyon days. The phrase was originally caught between Scylla and Charybdis, these can be found in the strait of Messina between Italy and the island of Sicily on one side of the strait is a dangerous rocky shoal and on the other is a whirlpool. In mythology they were represented as two female monsters whose appearance spelled doom for whoever saw them. To be between them was an awful fate, over time it became between a rock and a hard place which is much more easily understood than the other.
