  1. Were the Spartans the only Greeks against eternal life?

    Thank you for the responses :]

  2. Were the Spartans the only Greeks against eternal life?

    My knowledge about Spartans is very limited, but I've at least heard that the thing they cherished most was a warriors death, and the idea of living forever would be hell to them. Is this exclusive to Spartans in Ancient Greek culture? I find it interesting for a culture to be against living...

  3. How far back does 'storm smelling' go?

    Fair enough. Makes sense :] Thank you

  4. How far back does 'storm smelling' go?

    In ancient cultures, weather predictions were accurate and inaccurate when they were made. But specifically for the method of 'smelling the ozone in the air' to predict a storm, how far back does that go, you think? Were there pioneers of this method? Or is it more recent; such as a chemist...

  5. Ancient Greece and 'honor' in the Olympics.

    I look at the Olympics in recent years and see examples of cheating and how people react to finding out a person cheated. - Was cheating a problem in Ancient Olympic games? - How was it viewed and dealt with in that culture? - Was 'honor' and 'don't lie or cheat' equally emphasized in all...

  6. Androgyny in Ancient Greece?

    I'm interested in seeing that hilarious list you mentioned :] Also, I understand that the culture valued intellectuals and the arts. Was it at least possible for your 'lack of raw masculinity' to be ignored if you had something interesting to say, or had a talent in something?

  7. Androgyny in Ancient Greece?

    Got another Ancient Greece one for ya :] If the culture was misogynistic in ways such as a female not being considered a citizen, how would an androgynous male have been treated in Ancient Greece? Because at first glance one wouldn't be able to tell what sex the person was, so I'd imagine...

  8. Average life span of a person in Ancient Greece?

    Well, that's good enough for me. Many thanks to all of you, you rock :]

  9. Could we name nameless places in history anything we want?

    Thank you for the replies, everyone. I'll have to start thinking of some good names and find out how to say them in Ancient Greek :] @aoravec75: LOL

  10. Average life span of a person in Ancient Greece?

    One side: "It's worthless!" Another side: "Nuh-uh!" Me: "...So should I just say 'and then he died... at some point... at the age of... um... something'? :{o~"

  11. Could we name nameless places in history anything we want?

    There's an island in Greece called Ro, near another island called Kastelorizo. Around the Classical and Hellenistic periods, Ro used to be called Rhoge and Kastelorizo was called Megisti. But like a lot of places in periods such as the Neolithic period, nobody knows what places were called that...

  12. Average life span of a person in Ancient Greece?

    Specifically a commoner living in Megisti during any of the individual periods: - Neolithic - Early Bronze - Minoan - Mycenaean - The Dark Ages - Archaic - Classical - Hellenistic It would be even more helpful if each period could be answered for. Unless it was roughly the same throughout each...

  13. Prominence of males in history and cultures

    Great information, thank you everyone :]

  14. More of a travel-based map question...

    Hmm... I wonder if that's the list I was looking for :{o~ I hope we're not missing any

  15. Prominence of males in history and cultures

    Whenever I look up how male-dominated history is, I wonder how much of that is a societal thing and how much our primate ancestors have to do with it. Basically, which of these is more accurate than the other: - Males have probably dominated in recorded history more because that was...

  16. More of a travel-based map question...

    Please help! I’m curious about something… a little random. Let’s say you live in Greece. Looking at a world map, there’s a lot of land you could walk or drive to. But what are the places in the world, from that starting point, that you’d have to take a boat or plane to get to? Really...

  17. How long has the Island of Ro been called that?

    I'm just curious where that answer came from, so I can educate myself as well...

  18. How long has the Island of Ro been called that?

    Cool. What's your source on that? I couldn't find much of anything about Ro on the web. Out of curiosity, what about Italian marine maps would have caused a change like that? I know nothing about the subject, but I'd like to.

  19. World Map of 2900 BC?

    Interesting stuff. One of the things I found before finding this site was a Google Maps sort of thing that lets you adjust sea levels. This one here. I wonder how hard it would be to make something similar, but base it off of what date in history you set it to. Could be neat :{o~

  20. How long has the Island of Ro been called that?

    The Greek island Ro doesn't have much history behind it, but a basic bit of information I haven't been able to find anywhere is if it's been called Ro since Ancient Greek times. The oldest info I've found on it goes back to the 1940s, but it doesn't make sense to assume it was given the name Ro...
