2. FOOD
The foods of ancient Greece were like to foods we eat today, but did not include many that have become important parts of modern Greek cooking. For example, tomatoes, peppers, potatoes, and bananas didn't arrive in Greece until after the discovery of the Americas in the 15th century, because that's where those foods originated. Lemons, oranges, eggplant, and rice also arrived later. But the ancient Greeks enjoyed a varied diet. Vegetables, legumes, and fruit were the mainstay, and fish was a favorite. Hunting brought game to the menu

6. OLYMPIC GAMES
Greek lady, forbidden not only to participate in but also to watch the Olympic games, held games of their own, called the Heraea. Those were also held every four years but had less events than the Olympics. Known to have been conducted as early as the 6th cent. B.C., the Heraea games were discontinued about the time the Romans conquered Greece. Winning was of prime importance in both man and woman festivals. The winners of the Olympics (and of the Heraea) were crowned with chaplets of wild olive, and in their home city-states man champions were also awarded numerous honors, valuable gifts, and privileges

8. GODS AND GODDESSES
Some gods and goddesses took part in creation, some brought the flood every year, some offered protection, and some took care of people after they died. Other gods and goddesses were either local gods who represented towns, or minor gods who represented plants or animals .The ancient Egyptians believed that it was important to recognise and worship these gods and goddesses so that life continued smoothly.

10. language
The Ancient Greeks were the first Europeans to read and write with an Alphabet, which eventually led to all modern European languages. The Ancient Greek Language has different theories of origin; first some believe it migrated with the Proto-Greek speakers into the Greek Peninsula, dating from 2500BC to BC. Second Theory considers the migration into Greece happened before Proto-Greek, so the characteristics of Greek sounds were later.

12. LIFE AND ANCIENT GREECE
Centered within a loose collection of city- states (often at war with each another), ancient Greek culture reached its pinnacle during the 4th century BC - an era described as its "Golden Age." Art, theater, music, poetry, philosophy, and political experiments such as democracy flourished. Greek influence stretched along the northern rim of the Mediterranean from the shores of Asia Minor to the Italian peninsula.
