Poseidon
Poseidon was the Greek god of the sea, earthquakes, and horses. He was a powerful yet unpredictable god who was feared by sailors. As the god of the sea, he controlled oceans and could cause earthquakes by stamping his foot or striking the earth with his trident. The Greeks saw similarities between the unpredictability of earthquakes, oceans, and horses. Poseidon competed with Athena to be the patron deity of Athens but ultimately lost, though the Athenians still honored him.

While Sparta and Athens developed differently, the Greek city-states shared many cultural similarities: they spoke the same language, believed in the same gods, enjoyed the same artistic works, and participated in athletic competitions. The Hellespont, an important strait near Troy, played a strategic role in the Greco-Persian wars between Greece and Persia in the 5th century BCE, including the famous battles of Marathon, Thermopylae, and Salamis. Afterwards, Athens entered its Golden Age under the Athenian Empire and democracy, though old rivalries resumed after its decline.

Mesopotamia
Mesopotamia was the site of some of the earliest civilizations due to its fertile land between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. Natural levees along the rivers allowed for irrigation, farming, and the establishment of cities like Ur and Babylon. Sumerians developed systems of governance, religion, trade, mathematics, and the earliest form of writing called cuneiform to record their achievements, laying the foundations for later civilizations.
Early Greece
Ancient Greece was shaped by its mountainous geography, which made overland travel and unification difficult. Many Greeks became sailors and traders. Notable early civilizations included the Minoans of Crete and the Mycenaeans on the mainland. After a Dark Age, city-states emerged in the 8th century BC as independent political units, each with their own government and laws. Athens and Sparta became dominant city-states with different forms of government. Greek culture was also influenced by its polytheistic religion and epic poems like the Iliad and Odyssey.
Sumerians & Early Empires
Early civilizations first emerged in river valleys because rivers provided fertile soil for agriculture and a reliable source of fresh water. One of the earliest civilizations was in Mesopotamia, between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers. The flooding rivers deposited rich silt on the land each year, making it very fertile for growing crops. Irrigation systems were also developed to carry river water to fields. This reliable food source allowed populations to grow and led to the establishment of permanent settlements and urban centers like the Sumerian city-states, the earliest civilizations in Mesopotamia.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
