Titres dans Grèce

Modern perceptions of ancient Greece are almost always based on Athens and Sparta, which is why other city-states and other military units besides the hoplites have been overlooked for thousands of years. For this reason, Greek cavalry forces - including their composition, purpose, techniques, equipment, and developments - are still not very well understood when compared with their naval or infantry counterparts.

Over the last 2,000 years, ambitious men have dreamed of forging vast empires and attaining eternal glory in battle, but of all the conquerors who took steps toward such dreams, none were ever as successful as antiquity’s first great conqueror. Leaders of the 20th century hoped to rival Napoleon’s accomplishments, while Napoleon aimed to emulate the accomplishments of Julius Caesar. But Caesar himself found inspiration in Alexander the Great (356 - 323 BCE), the Macedonian king who managed to stretch an empire from Greece to the Himalayas in Asia by the age of 30.

Caesar and Brutus. Marius and Sulla. Cicero, Antony, Clodius, and Augustus. The end of the Roman Republic gave us a host of larger-than-life characters hailing from Rome. Only one was named Great. In the year 90 B.C.E., chaos and unrest erupts across the Italian peninsula. Rome's allies have rebelled and taken up arms against the most powerful military on Earth. Leading Rome's legions - and his only son - to the city's defense, an unproven and unloved commander will taste victory and defeat outside the capital's gates.

The Works and Days is a didactic poem of some 800 lines composed by the ancient Greek poet Hesiod. The poem deals with daily life and work, interwoven with allegory, fable, and personal history. It also serves as a farmer's almanac, through which Hesiod instructs his brother Perses in the agricultural arts, and as a compendium of advice for life as a farmer. As such it opens a window on archaic Greek society, ethics, and superstition.

Les héros étaient, selon les idées des païens, des hommes nés soit d'un mortel et d'une déesse, soit d'un dieu et d'une mortelle ; par cette raison, on les appelait aussi demi-dieux. Doués, la plupart, d'une force extraordinaire et d'un grand courage, ils parcouraient la terre et principalement la Grèce.

Esta prominencia cultural mostró su inmenso potencial durante estas guerras, ya que las guerras médicas fueron documentadas por Heródoto, quien a menudo se dice que es el padre de la historia moderna. Sus eventos cuidadosamente detallados inspiraron a personas como Tucídides a escribir su propia historia de la guerra del Peloponeso.

At one point in antiquity, the Achaemenid Persian Empire was the largest empire the world had ever seen, but aside from its role in the Greco-Persian Wars and its collapse at the hands of Alexander the Great, it has been mostly overlooked. When it has been studied, the historical sources have mostly been Greek, the very people the Persians sought to conquer.

La batalla de las Termópilas es una de las batallas más famosas de la historia humana. Representa dos de las culturas más prominentes del mundo antiguo, el Imperio persa liderado por los aqueménidas y los griegos fragmentados, pero con un gran progreso cultural. También incluyó a algunos de los líderes más famosos de la historia, como el rey persa Jerjes y el rey y general espartano Leónidas.

Sin embargo, quizás el logro más significativo en toda la historia espartana fue la derrota de los atenienses en la Guerra del Peloponeso. Este conflicto, que duró aproximadamente 30 años, enfrentó a las dos ciudades-estado griegas más grandes de la época, Atenas y Esparta, y el resultado, la victoria espartana, ayudó a remodelar todo el mundo antiguo. Este fue el comienzo de un período de hegemonía espartana que fue radicalmente diferente de cuando los atenienses se establecieron en la cima del mundo griego.

Non è semplice spiegare cos'ha rappresentato Sparta per il mondo antico. La polis ellenica infatti non solo è stata la storica rivale di Atene, ma un vero simbolo per tutta la Grecia classica e non solo. Il mito di Sparta oggi, dopo più di 2 mila anni, è ancora vivo più che mai grazie alle pluripremiate graphic novel di Frank Miller e alle loro trasposizioni cinematografiche. Può un popolo vivere soltanto in funzione della guerra e del valore militare? Per quanto possa sembrare assurdo la risposta è sì. L'incredibile storia di Sparta è qui a dimostrarcelo.
