Only male citizens were allowed to vote in Greek citystates. 5. Early Greek civilization was brought to an end by the Dorians. 6. In ancient Greece, people were ranked according to their social and legal status. 7. Spartan women had greater freedom than Athenian women. 8. Trade with Greek colonies in Asia Minor brought the first coins to ancient Greece. 9. Of the government body, the assembly best illustrates the principles and practice of direct democracy in ancient Athens. 10. Wealthy people benefited most from the oligarchies that governed many ancient Greek citystates. 11. A woman’s most important role in Spartan society was to produce and raise strong boys to be soldiers. 12. The council of elders held the most power in Sparta’s government. 13. The roles and rights of women in Sparta differ from the roles and rights of women in most other Greek citystates in that Spartan women could sell their property. 14. Colonization brought the greatest change to a citystate’s merchants because they grew rich from trade. 15. In the epic poem the Iliad, the poet Homer told the story of a long war the early Greeks waged against Troy. 16. The type of government in which the “best” people inherited the right to rule a Greek citystate was call an aristocracy. 17. Government in Sparta differed from government in Athens in that Sparta’s citizens had a smaller voice in their government. 18. The Athenians’ “addiction to innovation” prepared them for the peak era of the Greek empire, known as the Hellenistic Period because by being open to change, the Athenians were willing to try new ideas, ones that led to greatness. 19. Many of the Greek citystates developed sea trade as part of their economies. Sparta never became a sea power because the center of Sparta was too far inland. 20. The rise of a merchant class was part of the establishment of colonies of the expansion of the Greek citystates. 21.

Introduction
A Study of 1 Corinthians By Dr. Jerry A. Collins Introduction Author The human author was the Apostle Paul, although the letter is also said to be from Timothy, the spiritual son of Paul (1:1). Often in the letter, Paul uses the pronoun “we” and sometimes “I.” Location • Corinth was one of the most strategically located cities in the ancient world. It was situated on a plateau, at the foot of Acrocorinth [an Acropolis (lit. “a high city”), which rises cliff-like 1,886 feet], overlooking the Isthmus of Corinth, about two miles from both the eastern Saronic Gulf and from the western Gulf of Corinth. Corinth commanded all of the land routes from central Greece into the Peloponnesus Peninsula along the isthmus (a narrow strip of land that joins two larger areas of land). It also had a port on the two seas, which made it the center of commerce between Asia and Europe. • There were good harbors on both sides of the isthmus. In ancient times, ships were dragged across the isthmus on rollers in order to avoid the long and dangerous 250-mile passage around the southern tip of the Peloponnesus. Larger ships would unload and transport their supplies across land while the empty ship went around the peninsula, to be reloaded on the other side. • A spectacular canal through solid rock was completed in 1893. • Corinth and Athens were opponents. They competed in commerce and for acquisition of foreign markets, which resulted in an eventual predominance of Athens. The Acropolis of Athens was clearly visible from the Acrocorinth at a distance of 45 miles to the east.

Science is defined as knowledge about the physical and natural world that is derived from observation and experimentation. So, would you expect that there were scientist living in the times of the Romans? What about the Egyptians? There were. In fact, there were even cavemen who could be considered scientist! When a scientist encounters a problem, he or she will use the scientific method to investigate it. Unfortunately, we don’t always find the answer to the problem. The scientific method consists of: ● Defining a problem-What is it that we are trying to figure out? ● Forming a hypothesis- A possible answer to the problem, a guess based on your background research. ● Making observations and doing experiments ● Analyzing data- What do your observations and experiments tell you? ● Drawing conclusions- What have you learned through your observations and experiments? Do you need to change your hypothesis? ● Communicating data- Share with others what you have learned! You may find that you use the scientific method without even thinking about it! For example, I had a dog who would often bark at people that he knew as well as strangers (the problem).
