The civilization of Greece began around 2600 BC with the Minoan civilization. The Minoans built elaborate palaces resembling small cities, such as the palace at Knossos. During a primitive period in Greece's history, arts and trades were disrupted due to wars and struggles. However, subsequent Greek civilizations like the Archaic Age demonstrated great achievements in arts, philosophy, science and religion. Athens became a center of culture, and the Greeks excelled at sculpture, pottery, and architecture, influencing cultures worldwide.
European/Western culture was heavily influenced by Greek culture, especially in the arts. Greek literature began through an oral tradition of telling stories and reciting poetry. Homer's epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey, though not written down until centuries later, were influential works that shaped Greek culture. Tragedy and comedy also emerged as dramatic forms, with playwrights like Sophocles and Aristophanes popularizing the genres. The arts of architecture, sculpture, painting and pottery also flourished in ancient Greece.
This document provides an overview of ancient Greek history and culture from 900 BCE to 30 BCE. It discusses the major periods from the Geometric period to the Hellenistic period. During these times, Greek civilization developed across the mainland and islands, with early cultures like the Minoans and Mycenaeans. Key city-states like Athens flourished during the Classical period, though wars often erupted between rival cities. The period saw advances in art, architecture, philosophy and more that formed the basis of Western culture. Greek influence also spread widely through the conquests of Alexander the Great.
The Greeks made many important contributions to science and philosophy. Socrates pioneered the Socratic method of questioning beliefs and assumptions to get to the underlying truth. Plato and Aristotle built upon Socrates' teachings, with Plato establishing the Academy and Aristotle developing logic and a scientific method. Greek scientists made early discoveries in fields like astronomy, medicine, and biology while seeking natural explanations rather than attributing causes to gods.
The document provides an overview of ancient Greek culture from 650 BC to 145 BC. It describes the three main periods - Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic - and highlights developments in art, sculpture, architecture, philosophy, drama, and more that occurred during these times. Key aspects mentioned include the evolution of black and red figure pottery, the rise of philosophers like Plato and Aristotle, and changes in sculpture from the rigid Kouros style to works with more movement and emotion.

The document provides an overview of ancient Greek culture, including its history, mythology, and social roles. It discusses the following key points:
- Greece achieved independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1829 and joined NATO in 1952 after a period of military dictatorship.
- Greek mythology involved early creation stories centered around figures like Eurynome, Gaia, and the Titans, as well as the later Olympian gods like Zeus, Hera, and Poseidon.
- Ancient Greek society was patriarchal. Women's roles were largely confined to the home and family, while men participated more in public life, politics, and warfare.
- Important aspects of Greek culture included its art, architecture, philosophy
The document provides an overview of ancient Greek culture, including their religion, festivals and feasts, entertainment, clothing, temples, and toys. It discusses the Greek pantheon led by Zeus, important festivals such as those honoring Greek olives, entertainment such as the original Olympic games, typical clothing styles worn by men, women and children, architectural remains like the Parthenon, and a toy similar to a spinning top that ancient Greek children played with.
Greek art developed over several periods beginning with the Minoan civilization on Crete between 2700-1500 BC and the Mycenaean civilization from 1600-1100 BC. During the Geometric period from 900-700 BC, art featured geometric motifs while the Orientalizing period from 700-600 BC saw influences from Near Eastern cultures. The Archaic period from 600-480 BC saw the rise of stone temples and more naturalistic sculpture. Classical Greek art from 480-323 BC created famous works under the Athenian empire and featured developments like contrapposto. Hellenistic art from 323-31 BC advanced realism and embraced new subjects after Alexander the Great's conquests spread Greek culture.

The Greek civilization originated in the Balkan Peninsula in the 8th century BC. They lived in independent city-states called polis, with Athens and Sparta being two important ones. Polis were initially governed by aristocracies but some later transitioned to democracies. Due to overpopulation, many Greeks migrated and founded colonies around the Mediterranean, spreading Greek culture. Greek society was divided between citizens, who had rights, and non-citizens like foreigners, slaves, and women who had few to no rights. The Greeks made important contributions to philosophy, science, theatre, and architecture.
Ancient Greek art and culture flourished for over a thousand years, beginning in the Mycenaean period and evolving through the Classical and Hellenistic eras. Notable developments include advancing from geometric to naturalistic styles of sculpture and the emergence of democracy and other systematic fields of thought in Classical Athens. Greek art and architecture emphasized ideals of beauty, balance, and proportion that strongly influenced Western civilization.
1) Ancient Greek society was hierarchical, with male citizens having the most power and slaves having the least. 2) Theatre and public life were largely restricted to men, while women's roles focused on domestic duties like weaving. 3) The Greek economy consisted of agriculture, fishing, trade, and crafts like pottery, with occupations including farmers, craftsmen, merchants, and slaves.
This document provides an introduction to Greek art, including its main periods, genres, and styles. It covers the major periods of Greek art - Archaic, Classical, and Hellenistic - and highlights some of the most important works within painting, pottery, sculpture, and architecture from each period. Key examples mentioned include the Parthenon, sculptures by Phidias and Praxiteles, and painted pottery by the Niobid Painter.
Greek architecture was dominated by temples built to honor gods. The Greeks developed three architectural orders - Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian - each with distinct proportions and detailing. The Parthenon, built in the 5th century BC on the Acropolis in Athens as a temple to Athena, exemplifies the ideals of Greek architecture through its Doric style. Greek theaters evolved from open areas to more elaborate structures but retained the basic layout, with audiences standing or sitting to watch plays about myths and legends.
The Greek city-states of Athens, Sparta, and others developed new forms of governance, philosophy, and the arts after the decline of the Cycladic states. Pottery styles like geometric krater and black-figure painting emerged as important artistic traditions. Athens' Parthenon temple, commissioned by Pericles, represented the height of Greek architectural and artistic achievement.

El Puerto de Algeciras continúa un año más como el más eficiente del continente europeo y vuelve a situarse en el “top ten” mundial, según el informe The Container Port Performance Index 2023 (CPPI), elaborado por el Banco Mundial y la consultora S&P Global.
El informe CPPI utiliza dos enfoques metodológicos diferentes para calcular la clasificación del índice: uno administrativo o técnico y otro estadístico, basado en análisis factorial (FA). Según los autores, esta dualidad pretende asegurar una clasificación que refleje con precisión el rendimiento real del puerto, a la vez que sea estadísticamente sólida. En esta edición del informe CPPI 2023, se han empleado los mismos enfoques metodológicos y se ha aplicado un método de agregación de clasificaciones para combinar los resultados de ambos enfoques y obtener una clasificación agregada.
