Archaeological site of Dodona
The origins of the sanctuary of Dodona, which is known for its nationwide radiation, date back to the Bronze Age (2600-1200 BC). Originally, it was outdoors and it was there that the Great Goddess, goddess of fertility, was worshiped; later, it was replaced by the worship of Dodona Zeus (Zeus Naios) and his wife Dioni.
The first temple, the Sacred House, started being built in the 4th century BC. However, the Sanctuary was fully renovated in the 3rd century BC, during the reign of King Pyrrhus.
At around the Prytaneum, the Bouleuterion and the Theater, which is one of the biggest ancient theaters of Greece (approximately 17,000 seats), were built. Homer, and other ancient Greek writers, mention the oracle of Dodona as the oldest in the Greek world.

The design of Ancient Greece is the engineering delivered by the Greek-talking individuals (Hellenic individuals) whose society prospered on the Greek territory and the Peloponnese, the Aegean Islands, and in states in Anatolia and Italy for a period from around 900 BC until the first century AD, with the most punctual staying building works dating from around 600 BC.
Old Greek engineering is best known from its sanctuaries, a large portion of which are found all through the locale, for the most part as remains yet numerous considerably in place. The second imperative kind of building that survives everywhere throughout the Hellenic world is the outdoors theater, with the most punctual dating from around 350 BC. Other structural structures that are still in confirmation are the processional portal (propylon), the general population square (marketplace) encompassed by storied corridor (stoa), the town committee building (bouleuterion), people in general landmark, the grand tomb (sepulcher) and the stadium.
Old Greek design is recognized by its exceptionally formalized qualities, both of structure and enhancement. This is especially so on account of sanctuaries where every building seems to have been imagined as a sculptural element inside the scene, regularly raised on high ground so that the class of its extents and the impacts of light on its surfaces may be seen from all points. Nikolaus Pevsner alludes to the plastic state of the [Greek] temple.....placed before us with a physical nearness more extraordinary, more alive than that of any later building.
The formal vocabulary of Ancient Greek design, specifically the division of compositional style into three characterized orders: the Doric Order, the Ionic Order and the Corinthian Order, was to have significant impact on Western engineering of later periods. The design of Ancient Rome became out of that of Greece and kept up its impact in Italy unbroken until the present day. From the Renaissance, recoveries of Classicism have kept alive not just the exact structures and requested subtle elements of Greek engineering, additionally its idea of building excellence in view of equalization and extent. The progressive styles of Neoclassical design and Greek Revival engineering took after and adjusted Ancient Greek styles nearly.
History:
History specialists isolate Ancient Greek progress into two times, the Hellenic time frame (from around 900 BC to the passing of Alexander the Great in 323 BC), and the Hellenistic period (323 BC to 30 AD). Amid the prior (Hellenic) time frame, significant works of engineering started to show up (around 600 BC). Amid the later (Hellenistic) period, Greek society spread broadly, at first as a consequence of Alexander's success of different grounds, and later as an aftereffect of the ascent of the Roman Empire, which embraced a lot of Greek society.
Prior to the Hellenic time, two noteworthy societies had overwhelmed the district: the Minoan (c. 2800–1100 BC), and the Mycenaean (c.1500–1100 BC). Minoan is the name given by cutting edge history specialists to the way of life of the general population of old Crete, known for its elaborate and lavishly enlivened royal residences, and for its earthenware painted with flower and marine themes. The Mycenaean society, which thrived on the Peloponnesus, was entirely diverse in character. Its kin constructed strongholds, fortresses and tombs instead of castles, and adorned their earthenware with groups of walking fighters as opposed to octopus and kelp. Both these human advancements reached an end around 1100 BC, that of Crete perhaps as a result of volcanic obliteration, and that of Mycenae due to an intrusion by the Dorian individuals who lived on the Greek terrain. Taking after these occasions, there was a period from which few indications of society remain. This period is subsequently regularly alluded to as a Dark Age.
The towns set up by the Dorian individuals were managed at first by a gentry, and later by despots, pioneers who ascended from the vendor or warrior classes. A few urban communities, for example, Sparta, kept up an emphatically requested and traditionalist character, similar to that of the Mycenae. The way of life of Athens, then again, was impacted by the inundation of Ionian individuals from Asia Minor. In the social differing qualities coming about because of that flood, Athenian society built up the specialty of rationale, and with it the possibility of majority rules system.

3 Lawyers in Ancient Greece
3 Lawyers in Ancient Greece
Introducing : [1] Protagoras. A philosopher and lawyer, Plato considered him as having invented the role of professional sophists (teacher); [2] Apollodorus Acharnae. A friend of Demosthenes and son of Pasion, a wealthy banker, he was a lawyer who wrote many speeches for the court; and [3] Bias of Priene. A most outstanding lawyer whose probity was beyond reproach. The wisest of all, a Prienian decision has come to mean that it is just and right.

Athenian democracy
Athenian democracy developed around the fifth century BC in the Greek city-state (known as a polis) of Athens, comprising the city of Athens and the surrounding territory of Attica. Athens is one of the first known democracies. Other Greek cities set up democracies, most following the Athenian model, but none are as well-documented as Athens.
It was a system of direct democracy, in which participating citizens voted directly on legislation and executive bills. Participation was not open to all residents: to vote one had to be an adult, male citizen, and the number of these varied between 30,000 and 50,000 out of a total population of around 250,000 to 300,000. At times, the opinion of voters could be strongly influenced by the political satire of the comic poets at the theatres.
