YOUR QUESTIONS IS EASY..AS FAR AS BUSSINES FOR WOMEN IS CONCERNED IN THE ANCIENT WORLD OF GREECE ....CORINTH WAS THE MEDETERIAN CENTRE FOR ..THE OLDEST PROFESSION...AND IT IS IN HISTORY BOOKS ..NOT SOME THING I MADE UP...



IN FACT THE WOMEN HAD NAILS HAMMERED IN TOT HIER SHOES SO WHEN THEY WALKED ON THE SOIL THEY STAMPED OUT THE WORDS...(FOLLOW ME )...







THE HISTORIAN WOULD BE HERODETUS..





GREEK NAME FOR SHIELD IS....ASPIDA....



AND A XIPHOS IS A SPEAR....







@kimoon well thanks for the clarafications..but still is a bit confussing...especially the xiphos bit.... as maxeri and yiatagiani,,,was also used by i suspect that was post byzantuim...period... alt houhg dora is new to me?...i guess u learn only by being honest with your mistakes..





@ martian..listen drongo.....i never had a promblem with pofs, in general its just the premadonas ..attituded i dotn like i never question any bodsy sexuality or race or belifes every body has the right to practice and love who and what they want..,,

its the do goode,rs and the so called political correctnes people who think..they can tell you what to say ....then SMARTY why does slang exist explain that to me...its part of life...and its not that in public people cant be civil even uneducated people can be...its (wigs) like ur learned self that make a heap of money out of it by taking it to court and filling the prison system with unwanted litter...TALK ABOUT THE SPEECH POLICE.....what freedon of speech has any man if cant express him self even unsociable shall we prosecute ...dumbs and blind people for not understanding them? i swear these political correct nes people live on another world......OR DID YOU FORGET WHERE U GREW UP IN THE UNDER SEEDED WORLD OF ALBANIA?

give a man a tails and top hat and he ..is above his own kind.. u still wipe ur **** with one hand dotn u?...you only just adjucate the way u do it after the fact or before the fact!.......TOMATOES INDED U BELONG IN ye old pillory.........perhaps u should go back tot he 17 th century and get taught a lesson that even judges where UNCOOTH those days..it was only the gentry that though they where above the law ..i would suggest you go to the archives and see how many ladies and lords defaulted back then.. for the slightest provocation,,YOU MY FRIEDN WAS BORN IN THE WRONG CENTURY.. YOU WOULD HAVE MADE A MINT PROSECUTING BAD ENGLIHS..AND SLANG OR SO CALLED POLITICAL BASHING........what a load of crap ...those yardies and skin heads where apaid lot to cause troubvle in the first place ...READ UR POLITICAL HISTORY FIRST...... ITS STARTS WITHPURFUMO AFFAIR......AND THEN THE KRAYS... AND LETS NOT FORGET THE LATE NIGHT PARTYS AT CERTAIN SOHO JOINTS...

Answer 2

Officially nowhere, unofficially everywhere

What public life? Stay home make babies take care of hubby.

Thucydides



What is the greek term for shield?

Hoplon



What was the xiphos?

A short sword.





Noli



In Ancient Greek the term Aspis was referring to shields in general while Hoplon was the particular shield used buy the "Hoplites", the Greek heavy infantry. In contrast the light infantry was called "Peltastes" and they were caring the lighter "Peltis" shield.



In Modern Greek Oplo means weapon, indeed.



Xyfos both in Modern and in Ancient is a sword.

Spear is Dory both in Modern and in Ancient. Sarissa is a type of dory 4-7 meters of length.

Answer 3

relies upon on the term Athenian Greece from 500 BC to 431 BC - the time of Pericles, Socrates, and a great sort of different historic notables. i might somewhat bypass the Plague of Athens and the Peloponnesian conflict beginning in 431 BC. OR Rome from a hundred advert to a hundred and seventy advert whilst there became into relative peace and prosperity. returned, i might somewhat no longer be there whilst the Antonine Plague became into at that's top ~ a hundred and seventy advert.
