Ancient Greek is the birthplace of Western civilization. Modern Internet, computers, rocket cannons, spacecraft starlink technology, ancient Greece had a profound impact on this.
Hegel says that China only has the cycle of dynasties, but the six hundred years of ancient Greece also fought and killed, and did it go back to reincarnation?
About our Xia Dynasty , that is, around 2000 BC, the earliest civilization of ancient Greece, Aegean civilization , originated from Crete .
Later, the center of the Aegean civilization moved to the Greek Peninsula, and Mycenaean civilization appeared. Maybe everyone knows " Homer's Epic ", but I don't know that there is a war name in Mycenaean civilization, which is definitely heard of, that is, Trojan War . In the time of our Shang Dynasty , in order to compete for the most beautiful woman in the world, Helen , the woman of one of the kings of ancient Greece was pried away by the prince of another king. The king with a hat began to take revenge. After avenging for more than 10 years, he did not attack the other party's city. Finally, he put the person into the Trojan horse and sneaked into the other party's city, so that the city was destroyed.
However, the Mycenaean civilization was not long. From 1100 BC to 1000 BC, which is equivalent to our Western Zhou Dynasty. When King Wen of was ruled by Zhou, there was a branch in ancient Greece called Dorians . The Dorians invaded and destroyed the Mycenaean civilization. From then on, ancient Greek history entered the so-called "dark age".
Doris are like Macedonians, , reckless, dislike philosophy, and like to fight. In the end, they destroyed the Mycenaean civilization, and from then on, Greek dragged back to a nearly barbaric state.
In 776 BC, it was also our Western Zhou Dynasty. The first Olympic Games was held in Athens. In the subsequent time, the philosopher's ancestor Thales and the mathematician Pythagora also appeared on the stage one after another.
In the ancient Greek era, like our Spring and Autumn and Warring States period , there were several countries of all sizes, but their territory was small and called city-states. Among the various city-states, Athens and Spa were the strongest.
The ancient Greek city-state in the west expanded toward the coast of Mediterranean , and the Persian Empire in the east was also expanding westward. In 490 BC, our Spring and Autumn Period, the Persian army crossed the sea to the west to invade ancient Greece, but in the end, they were defeated by Athenian heavy infantry, who were at a disadvantage in the marathon battle, and the Greeks won the victory of the first Hippolar War.
In 480 BC, this was still in our Spring and Autumn Period, when the Persian king Xerxes I led an army of 500,000 to attack Greece again. The Greek city-states also formed alliances. The Greek coalition's army was mainly composed of Spartan people, while the navy was mainly composed of the Athenian fleet. Although the Persians attacked Athens and burned the whole city, the Greek navy defeated the Persian navy in one fell swoop in the naval battle of Salami . The Persians faced the danger of supply being cut off and had to retreat. The Greeks took advantage of the victory and liberated the Greek states of Asia Minor. The Second Hippola War ended with a victory that still ended with Greece.
Later in 450 BC, in Cyprus , the Greek army once again won the battle between sea and land. This war completely ended nearly half a century of Hippola War.
Socrates Why can he walk around the streets barefoot all day long? Because he has participated in the Hippo War and has participated in three times. He is still a heavy infantryman, so he is in good health and energetic.
After fighting outside, before they had enough food, they immediately started fighting again. After the Hippo War, Athens became the overlord of Greece, and the Athenian navy developed into the most powerful military force among the Greek city-states.
Peloponnese Alliance , led by Sparta, was dissatisfied with Athens' hegemony. In 431 BC, it was still our Warring States Period, Sparta's alliance Thebes began to attack Athens' alliance Pilates , triggering the Peloponnese War.
Finally, in 404 BC, and during our Warring States Period, the navy of Athens was completely destroyed by Sparta, and finally Sparta became the new overlord of Greece.
However, Sparta's hegemony did not last long, and the Greek city-state fell into a melee, just like our Warring States era, fighting and killing, and the final result was that the mantis stalked the cicada oriole was behind.
Ancient Macedonian is located in the northern part of ancient Greece, on the edge of Greek civilization . It is regarded by the Greeks as barbarian , just like the nation below Arctic Circle .
In 338 BC, in our Warring States Period, Macedonia defeated the Greek coalition in Karonia and gained control of the entire ancient Greece.
In 336 BC, the Macedonian king Philip was assassinated. At this time, a historical celebrity appeared, the son of the Macedonian king Philip Alexander . After Alexander ascended the throne, he quickly quelled the uprising of the Greek city-state and consolidated the regime.
In 334 BC, Alexander led his army to cross the sea to the east, opening the prelude to his conquest of the world. Alexander successively seized Syria and Egypt from the Persians. The Persian king Darius III tried to seek peace, but was rejected by the ambitious Alexander.
In 331 BC, it was still during our Warring States Period, when Alexander conquered Babylon and the Persian Empire was destroyed.
Later, Alexander continued to fight eastward, and finally reached the Indus River Basin before he started to turn back.
In 323 BC, Alexander died of illness. At this point, his huge empire was divided and ancient Greek history ended.
But then, an era that was very famous in history began to continue to be staged, that is, Ancient Rome . Ancient Rome continued to inherit ancient Greek culture, until later Renaissance .
Do you seem to have seen the rhythm of ancient Greek history? From ancient Greek city-states to Macedonia Kingdom , to ancient Rome, from the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, to Qin Dynasty , to Han Dynasty , fighting and killing, dynasties changed, how could it be different?
