The two events that contributed to the spread of ancient Greek culture and literature were 4)The launch of the Olympic games and 5)Publication of Homer's epic poems.
The Olympics had great importance to the Greeks because they had a religious, political and sporting character. First, it was a form of devotion to the gods, mainly Zeus (god of the gods). It was also an important moment in the search for harmony between city-states. It also served as a health and healthy body enhancement event. Games took place every four years. At the time of the sports event, there was a truce in wars and conflicts. The well-known "Olympic peace" served to ensure safety for athletes who had to move from their city-states to Olympia.
Between the 8th and 9th centuries BC, Ancient Greece, also known by the name of Hellas, lived the so-called Homeric Period, that is, the period that followed the archaic phase and period of the cultures of Crete and Mycenae. This period was named after the figure of the poet Homer, considered the author of the epics Iliad and Odyssey, to emphasize the importance that the poems of Homer had in Greek education.
Answer:
The Leaning Tower of Pisa is a building in Pisa, Italy. It is a bell tower. It is famous because it is not vertical. The tower was once leaning more and more to the ground, but recently much restoration work has been done to stop it from falling over completely. There was scaffolding all around the tower for 20 years. On 26 April 2011, the last bit of scaffolding was removed so that the tower can be seen properly again.
The height of the tower is about 56 metres from the ground. Its weight is about 14,500 tonnes. It now leans at about 3.99 degrees. The tower has 294 steps.
When the second floor was built in 1178, the tower started to lean. This was because it had a small three-meter foundation in soft soil. The design of this tower was bad from the beginning. Construction was stopped for almost 100 years because the people of Pisa were often at war with Genoa, Lucca, and Florence.
Like the Roman Colosseum, the Leaning Tower of Pisa is one of the seven wonders of the medieval world that is located in Italy.
It foreshadowed this because when they did this it made the Japanese unhappy. So they thought they could not trust them and they wanted to do something about this.
