Ancient Greece was a civilization belonging to a period of Greek history that lasted from the Archaic period of the 8th to 6th centuries BC to the end of antiquity (c. 600 AD). Immediately following this period was the beginning of the Early Middle Ages and the Byzantine era. Included in ancient Greece is the period of Classical Greece, which flourished during the 5th to 4th centuries BC. Classical Greece began with the repelling of a Persian invasion by Athenian leadership. Because of conquests by Alexander the Great of Macedonia, Hellenistic civilization flourished from Central Asia to the western end of the Mediterranean Sea.
Classical Greek culture, especially philosophy, had a powerful influence on the Roman Empire, which carried a version of it to many parts of the Mediterranean Basin and Europe. For this reason Classical Greece is generally considered to be the seminal culture which provided the foundation of modern Western culture and is considered as the cradle of Western civilization. However, unlike Western culture, the Ancient Greeks did not think in terms of race.

Black Romans & Greeks:Race in Antiquity in Eurasia : HIDDEN BLACKS IMAGES EURASIA Beginning during the renaissance and even earlier, European artists took to depicting historical people, as they hoped or imagined them to look. And in doing so, they made everyone White, but that is not reality. In reality: as shown by REAL artifacts, ancient White Greeks, who originated in Central Asia: by the classical period, were mostly a mixed-race people, owing to admixture with the original Black Europeans they encountered when they arrived in Europe (circa 1,200 B.C.). Troy was an Anatolian City, REAL artifacts clearly show that Anatolians were Black people. Jesus was a Hebrew, REAL artifacts clearly show that Hebrews were Black people, same with Persians and Egyptians. But one special mention conce...

Hermes Lyre is one year old! Over the past year I have been learning to play the chelys (tortoise shell) lyre of Greek antiquity and these videos are helping me to chart my progress. I am starting to get the hang of two handed picking techniques, and while what each individual hand plays is quite basic by itself, their combined effect is rather pleasing. Alternate version of this track on the Ataraxia soundcloud page: https://soundcloud.com/ataraxia-alpha/the-archaic-recurrence Thanks for watching!
University of Waikato Inaugural Professorial Lecture Series 2015. How was time measured in ancient Roman and Greek society? How did emperors and leaders control their people by manipulating time?

Craig Eckert and Angela Glaros both discuss the significance and place of "body" and sport in Greek antiquity and in the contemporary United States.
Ancient history is the aggregate of past events from the beginning of recorded human history and extending as far as the Early Middle Ages or the Postclassical Era. The span of recorded history is roughly 5,000 years, beginning with Sumerian Cuneiform script, the oldest discovered form of coherent writing from the protoliterate period around the 30th century BC. The term classical antiquity is often used to refer to history in the Old World from the beginning of recorded Greek history in 776 BC (First Olympiad). This roughly coincides with the traditional date of the founding of Rome in 753 BC, the beginning of the history of ancient Rome, and the beginning of the Archaic period in Ancient Greece. Although the ending date of ancient history is disputed, some Western scholars use the fa...
A look at Ancient Civilizations and Ancient Greece in Italy. Nearly 2800 years ago, a group of Greek settlers landed on the coast of Italy. That event marked the start the process which created Magna Graecia, named after the motherland. Join us as we walk through the streets of Cumae, Pasteum, Puteoli, and Neapolis, reconstructed using the most advanced computer graphics. Part 2 starts at 25.42 and looks Ancient Greece in Sicily. During the 4th Century BC, Sicily was the “new Greece” of the west. Our journey will take us to the various cultural centers that dotted the island, such as Syracuse, Agrigento, with the exquisite Valley of the Temples, and Selinus, present-day Selenunte. Ancient Civilizations offers a comparative analysis of the field, including both old world and new civiliz...
www.nationalhellenicmuseum.org How do we as modern Greeks, Westerners, and global citizens relate or should relate to Ancient Greece in the early 21st century? From the Renaissance onward, the “journeys” back to Ancient Greece have repeatedly shaped our identity, guided our understanding of the world around us and led us to self-scrutiny. The modern world of the West saw itself as picking up from where the Ancients left while a revisiting of Ancient Greece was crucial to the critique of eurocentrism and the advent of multiculturalism in the late twentieth century. As we are now leaving these periods of certainty and critique behind, the place of Ancient Greece in today’s world and our relationship to it are again redefined. But how, by whom, and with what consequences? In light of this ce...
