Ancient Greek philosophy began with the Presocratic philosophers who rejected mythological explanations in favor of rational ones. They asked fundamental questions about the origin and structure of the universe. Major Presocratic schools included the Milesians who proposed water, air or the boundless as the fundamental substance; Heraclitus who saw the world as constantly changing; the Eleatics who believed reality was fixed; Pythagoreans who saw mathematics and numbers as fundamental; and pluralists and atomists who proposed multiple elements or indivisible atoms as reality's basis.
Greek Religion
Greek religion was polytheistic and centered around mythology to explain the world. The Greeks worshipped anthropomorphic gods like the Olympians, who ruled over different domains. They held various festivals and games throughout the year and made sacrifices to the gods in sanctuaries and oracles. Mysteries also existed that offered explanations about the afterlife to initiates through nightly rituals.
Xenophane
Xenophanes of Colophon was a 6th-5th century BC Greek poet and philosopher who traveled extensively. He criticized the common practice of anthropomorphism in religion, believing gods should not be ascribed human qualities. Xenophanes was an early proponent of monotheism or pantheism. He made contributions to natural philosophy by proposing clouds and water as fundamental elements and natural phenomena having rational explanations rather than divine origins. Xenophanes was also a skeptic of the possibility of certain knowledge about gods or the natural world.

Fashion the impact of fashion on teenagers
Fashion has a significant impact on teenagers. Teenagers feel pressure to dress in accordance with current trends and brands in order to be accepted by their peers and avoid bullying.

Some teenagers feel ashamed if they do not dress in the most fashionable or expensive clothes and may be reluctant to go out.
Cinema in our days
Cinema has evolved significantly with new technologies like CGI and 3D. CGI allows the creation of computer-generated characters and scenes that would be impossible or too expensive to film in real life. 3D films enhance the illusion of depth perception by filming from two perspectives and using special projection or eyewear. While early films relied entirely on live-action filming, modern movies increasingly incorporate CGI for effects. The development of cinema from its origins to present day blockbusters is outlined, highlighting milestones like early animation devices, the invention of motion picture cameras, and Hollywood's rise to dominance of large-scale production.

Notable films include Dogtooth by Yorgos Lanthimos, which was nominated for an Academy Award, and Attenberg by Athena Rachael Tsangari, which won awards at film festivals. Last year the Greek box office earned over 130 million euros, led by the film God Loves Caviar. Critically acclaimed films like Dogtooth have received praise internationally from publications like The New York Times and The Guardian, with some referring to a distinct "Greek weird wave" of films. Modern Greek cinema has established itself on the global stage.
Prometheus lyberis dionysopoulos
In Greek mythology, Prometheus stole fire from the gods and gave it to humanity, enabling civilization's progress.

A 2012 science fiction film called Prometheus was named after the myth but did not directly relate to the original story.
Medusa vana
Medusa was a monster in Greek mythology described as having a hideous human face with venomous snakes for hair. She was one of three Gorgon sisters and was originally a beautiful maiden. The hero Perseus was sent by King Polydectes to fetch Medusa's head. Using a mirrored shield to avoid looking directly at her, along with weapons from various gods, Perseus was able to behead Medusa since she was the only mortal Gorgon. From her body sprang Pegasus the winged horse and the giant Chrysaor after her death.
α+α Lydia
Aphrodite was the Greek goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and procreation. She fell in love with the mortal Adonis, who was renowned for his beauty. Despite living on Mount Olympus, Aphrodite visited Adonis often. However, while hunting one day without Aphrodite, Adonis was fatally wounded by a wild boar. Devastated by his death, Aphrodite cried so much that Zeus allowed Adonis to visit her for six months out of the year. Their story illustrates that even gods were not immune to the powerful arrows of Eros and could fall in love with mortals.
