From the 9th century BC to the 6th century BC, several significant developments occurred in ancient Greece that helped establish Greek civilization. The Greeks began keeping detailed written records of events and transactions. They also began using more durable materials like stone and bronze for writing. This period saw the rise of the Greek city-state as the primary political unit, with many city-states founding colonies abroad to establish trade networks and export excess population. Warfare evolved from heroic combat to organized battles between hoplite infantry from rival city-states. Greek society transitioned from monarchies to aristocracies and sometimes tyrannies, with some city-states developing early democratic political systems.
Overview
Greek city-states developed different forms of governance with very different political structures and strengths.
Greek colonization led to the spread of the Greek language and Greek culture, but it also resulted in tensions with the neighbouring Persian empire, culminating in the Persian Wars.
Athens developed democratic institutions and a culture of philosophy, science, and culture; it emerged as a powerful state and allied with other city-states, forming the Delian League.
Resistance to Athens’ power among the other Greek city-states, particularly Sparta, prompted the Peloponnesian War.

The civilization of Ancient Greece emerged into the light of world history in the 8th century BC. Normally it is regarded as coming to an end when Greece fell to the Romans, in 146 BC. However, major Greek, or “Hellenistic”, kingdoms lasted longer than this. As a culture, Greek civilization lasted longer still, continuing right to the end of the ancient world.
Modern archaeology has helped to verify many of the stories that w.docxannandleola
Modern archaeology has helped to verify many of the stories that were passed down within Greek culture, and the Cyclades present a logical location for this cultural genesis. From about 1900 until approximately 1375 BCE, the Minoan culture, named for legendary King Minos, thrived on Crete. Minoan culture was known for establishing extensive trade routes to places as geographically removed from the island as Scandinavia and Afghanistan. They imported various precious stones and metals, including the tin that was needed to produce bronze. The culture associated the bull with the virility of men, and the sacrifice of that and other animals was common. The Minoans worshiped female deities, although the specifics of their religion remain under debate. Similarly, the reasons behind the abandonment of the palace at Knossos on Crete in about 1450 BCE also remain unknown. There are several possibilities for the abandonment, but the result was a swift occupation by the Mycenaeans of the Greek Peloponnese.
The warlike Mycenaen culture was known for defensive architecture and a feudal political structure. The architecture most associated with this culture was cyclopean masonry. The blocks of rough-hewn stone that were used in the creation of defensive walls and protective citadels were so large that the later Greeks believed that only a member of the mythical race of monsters known as Cyclopes could have built the structures. The Mycenaens' political structure involved allegiances between lords and those protected by the local rulers. Kings influenced not only the cities they controlled, but also the surrounding area through allegiances with the lords. The protection of the lord or the king came at an expense, and a system of taxes ensured the desired level of protection would continue. This also allowed the king to obtain unusual wealth, as confirmed by archaeological excavations of elite burials where gold and silver death masks and other ornate grave goods have been uncovered. About 1100 BCE, the center of this civilization, Mycenae, fell after King Agamemnon began and then lost the Trojan War.
By 800 BCE, Greek poleis (city-states) began to develop. The rise of a truly Greek civilization happened as these city-states developed. The people of the early city-states, even the large ones, were mainly agrarian and life was centered on the production of crops. Religious beliefs assigned gods and goddesses to each area of life in which Greek people functioned, and the gods had human qualities, both positive and negative. The poleis were not geographically close to one another, and by the 8th century BCE, sanctuaries arose where people, generally men, from various poleis could gather to share important cultural elements. As city-states vied for status, the construction of ever more impressive temples developed. The early Greek civilization developed its own distinctive forms of architecture, government, art (including performing arts such as theatre, music, ...

REQUEST FOR A REVISION?
Sir I a forwarding a copy of the answer you submitted for an assignment and it makes no sense whatsoever? I am requesting that you revise it to answer the question competently and professionally. I have given you 5 stars hoping that I could re-edit, which is impossible. Please advice? I will also include the print out regarding Rome’s openness, which is very helpful? I am concerned that this opening statement is so unacceptable and exactly what is not acceptable? As you read it I am certain that you will agree?
Question One: Rome and its Openness
What positives and negatives did its openness cause to Ancient Rome - if any? Referring to our readings and lectures, point out some specific, concrete ways that its inclusiveness impacted the state. Did it affect the state in different ways at different times?
YOUR ANSWER; Confusing and badly edited?
Ancient Rome was centered on the city of Rome and is placed among the most successful imperial powers of the time. The phenomenal growth of the empire was achieved through strong political, military and social institutions. Unlike other empires of the time, Rome practiced an openness policy that allowed allies and subjects to participate in social and political activities and granted citizenship to those who adopted a roman lifestyle.
The openness policy had positive outcomes as it allowed the expansion of the traditional Roman culture through interactions with allies and the Greek. The mosaic culture was depicted in literature, art and in architecture. Openness to new ideas and knowledge allowed the Romans to advance their knowledge of geometry, geography, astronomy and philosophy (Gilmour, 2012). Opening up also changed the political attitude towards the subjects to incorporate human virtues of gentleness and leniency since they were humans. However, openness contributed to degeneration of ancient Rome traditions, entrance of undesirable customs and degradation of Latin in the society.
Due to contact with Greeks and other cultures, Romans integrated various vocabularies into their language. In addition, the garnering of new knowledge from various and multiple contacts expanded their knowledge of time and space and improved their view of the world through scientific advancements. The Greeks also influenced the Romans to incorporate human virtues in governance of the subjects and make legislations aimed at curbing corruption to minimize corruption (Gilmour, 2012). The inclusivity of many citizens made it hard to maintain the Roman traditions and entrench Latin as the official language.
This inclusivity affected the state contingently at different times. Initially, there was less impact since it practiced assimilation of individuals into the Roman culture and granted allies and subjects citizenship. However, as the empire expanded, it came into contact with different cultures and the dominant Greek culture and started exchanging cultures. With lapse of time, cultural aspects ...

Alexander and his successors seized dozens of
Greek city-states scattered across the eastern

the classical poleis remained the same: magis-

had undergone radical changes. Because kings
wielded absolute power, once-independent cities
such as Athens and C o r i n t h lost their freedom to
make peace or wage war. A l t h o u g h they chose

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Intro To Ancient Greece Part 2
1. From the End of the Dark Ages to the Sixth Century B.C.
2. The Sources of Knowledge
Cultural and Political Revival
Colonial Expansion of the Greek City-States
Commercial Development of the Greek States
Warfare in the Age
Constitutional Developments
Religion and Culture
3. In the centuries that followed the Trojan War, Greece had been subject to massive disruptions and movements of population. By the middle of the ninth century (c. 850 B.C.) the situation had more or less stabilized, and the development of Greece from a war torn land of refugees into one of history's greatest civilizations finally began.
4. In this period the Greeks began to keep increasingly detailed records on all manner of things (Olympiads, king lists, state officials, etc). As well, writing proliferated as the various Greek states became heavily involved in commerce. More durable materials likewise came into use: where before writing might have been done primarily on wood and leather, the Greeks now engraved in stone and bronze.
5. Contemporary writers made good use of these records for their own literary works and histories, and many of these have come down to us via centuries of effort by scholars and monks in the middle ages. Some of the most notable works that were to come included those by Herodotus, Thucydides, Plato and Aristotle.

7.
8. As well, the disciplines of archaeology, numismatics, and epigraphy act to help us scrutinize and confirm the claims of these sources.

12. As the chaos of the great collapse subsided, contact and then trade resumed between the lands of Greece and the Near East. While trade in various goods and the exchange of intellectual inspirations increased, the single biggest contribution of the Near East to Greece in this era (and by extension to our own time) was the Alphabet.
13. This system, derived from the Phoenician writing system, revolutionized written communications among the Greeks. Within short order many Greek cities had developed their own, slightly unique alphabets, which they would bequeath to their future colonies.
14. One of the other major events of this period was the formation of what would become the dominant unit of Greek social life: the City- State. As the isolated villages of the Greek Dark Age slowly expanded and banded together, they formed the cores of these durable new political units.
15.
16. For all but the largest Greek States (ex. Sparta & Athens), each would consist of the primary city of that 'state', surrounded by its associated villages and agricultural lands. While the particular reasons for and details of their formation were unique to the individual City- States, the salient fact is that among all but the most primitive Greeks, this would be the new socio-political paradigm in which they lived.
17. By beginning of the eighth century (c.800 B.C.), the various Greek City-States began to found colonies abroad. The motivation to do so sprang from a number of factors, but one of the biggest was likely the need to find an outlet for growing populations. When it was decided to found a colony, an initial group of settlers led by a 'Colonizer' (Oikistes) would set out to establish the initial settlement. Often this would be on a small island or a coastal strip.
18.
19.
20. As hostile natives would often inhabit the area, the initial wave might be made up primarily of fighting men, while follow up waves would bring additional settlers. When the new colony was firmly established, it would be fully independent, with no political allegiance to the home city. However, the colonies would have imported their political system, religious practices, dialect, and other attributes from their home city, and so there would often be a strong residual feeling of connection and friendship between the two.
21. The Greeks proved to be prolific colonizers, spreading from their homeland to the Black Sea coasts, the Northern Aegean, the Marmara region, the Northwest of Greece & Illyria, Southern Italy & Sicily, the Mediterranean coasts of France and Spain, and even to North Africa in modern Libya & Egypt. In this way the Greeks gained access to all manner of peoples and good, while spreading their own culture throughout the far reaches of the ancient world.
22. As travel and communications recommenced after the Dark Age, trade made its way to and from the Greek cities. By far the most prosperous city of the time was Corinth, which sits astride the so- named Isthmus of Corinth.
23. Due to its unique position of having access to the sea routes going both east and west (as well as being able to move ships overland from one side of Greece to the other due to the narrowness of the isthmus), it enjoyed unparalleled commercial, colonial and financial prosperity.
24. While the exact nature of international trade at the time is somewhat hazy, it seems that the Greek colonies generally exported food and materials to the homeland, while the home cities exported fine pottery, ships, and other manufactured and luxury goods abroad, not merely to the colonies but all over the Mediterranean.
25.
26. It was also in this timeframe that the first coinage was minted in Greece, starting in Lydia, and eventually spreading across the Greek world (and to Persia, whose coins were considered the finest in antiquity).
27. Warfare had by this time begun to change drastically from the dark ages. While before warriors might engage each other in 'heroic' style combat, either on foot or utilizing war chariots, the style of combat in Archaic Greece took on a decidedly less romantic tone.
28. As City-States grew in power and organization more men were involved in warfare, and tactics shifted appropriately. Cavalry became the decisive striking arm of the Greeks, however in the Peloponnese a new method of warfare had already emerged that negated the power of horsemen: Hoplite infantry.
29. These bronze-clad soldiers were armed with long spears and large, round shields (the Hoplon, from which they get their name), and by fighting in close ranks they could hold against even the most devastating cavalry charge.
30.
31. Warfare had also taken on a more brutal character, with whole populations enslaved and cities laid waste, though rules and traditions were slowly emerging. Besides the occasional life-and-death struggle, most conflicts were merely border skirmishes, as states sought to acquire small parcels of land and national prestige.
32. In the migration period the various tribes and clans roving across Greece and the Aegean were led by men whom we would consider to be kings (Basileus).
As societies grew more complex and wealthy however, the circle of power would expand to the king's court and allies, leading to rule by the aristocracy.
33. Of the surviving kingships, the unique duel-kingship of Sparta was the most important. In some states the transition to aristocracy was unsuccessful for a variety of social and economic reasons, and in many cases a single man would seize power (a Tyrant).
34. This often precipitated bloody factional infighting inside the City-States, but even this had an eventual upside. The increasing prosperity and wealth which had brought on so many problems had also expanded the power of the lower and middle classes, and it was here that the first pseudo-democratic elements began to appear in the governance of some City-States as the upper class compromised some of its power to win the cooperation and allegiance of the common people.
35. While the Greeks were a notoriously independent minded people, there were some things that they all collectively shared. One of the common factors was religion, with sites such as the Oracle of Delphi having a common sacredness to all Greek peoples and states.
36. Likewise, the Greeks were held together by a common set of cultural ties, one of the best known being the Olympic Games.
37. Finally, the one thing that above all else defined the Greeks collectively was their language: while different dialects were prevalent, they all fell within the bounds of a common tongue.
38. It was thus that the world was divided: into the Greeks themselves (Hellenes), and those who were not and did not speak Greek (Barbaros, or Barbarians). In this way the Greeks, who often warred with one another both inside and outside their City-States, were united. In the coming years this unity would be sorely tested indeed.
