This is one of Greeces most historic Eurovision wins! This song has lived on throughout the years, you can almost always hear it at least once when in Greece. Bravo to Sakis for keeping the culture alive and bringing such fame to Greece with this song. I look forward to many more wins to come for all of the up and coming Greek artists.

Looking for Information About the Library of Alexandria

I'm fascinated by the Library of Alexandria and would love to learn more about it. I've read that it was one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world, but details seem scarce and sometimes contradictory.

Could anyone share insights or reliable resources on its history, how it was established, and its significance in the ancient world? I'm particularly interested in the types of texts it housed, how it contributed to the spread of knowledge, and any notable scholars associated with it. Also, what are the theories around its destruction? Are there any surviving remnants or related artifacts that I could explore?

Exploring the Role of Women in Ancient Greece

I'm currently researching the role of women in Ancient Greece and would love to hear your thoughts and insights on this topic. From what I've gathered so far, women's roles varied significantly depending on the city-state they lived in. For example, women in Sparta had more freedom and responsibility compared to their counterparts in Athens.

Was the Spartan view the norm in Ancient Greece? Was the Athenian view the norm? They seem like two extremes to me. I don't know much else about the rest of Greece.

Oracle of Delphi an Historical Figure?

I’ve been reading a lot about ancient Greek history lately, and I’m fascinated by the stories surrounding the Oracle of Delphi. From what I understand, the Oracle played a significant role in advising leaders and shaping the course of events in the ancient world. However, I’m a bit confused about whether the Oracle of Delphi was a specific historical figure or more of a title held by different priestesses over time.

Was there a single, renowned Oracle, or was it a succession of women who served in this role? How much of what we know is based on historical facts versus mythology? If anyone has more detailed information or can recommend sources on the history and function of the Oracle, I’d love to learn more!

How did the Mycenaean civilization fall?

I'm curious about the decline of the Mycenaean civilization. I know they were a dominant force in ancient Greece during the Late Bronze Age, but I'm not clear on how their civilization came to an end. What were the main factors that contributed to their fall? Were there specific events, invasions, or internal issues that led to their decline? Additionally, how did this collapse affect the broader Greek world at the time? Any insights or recommended readings on this topic would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
