<u>Answer:</u>
Ptolemy accounted for 'retrograde motion' in his model of the solar system by introducing smaller circles named 'epicycles'.
<u>Explanation:</u>
- According to Ptolemy, the Sun and the other planets in the Solar system orbited around the Earth.
- The Greeks were convinced that Ptolemy's earlier model did not provide for backward or the retrograde motion.
- Ptolemy thought over it for a while and theorized the possibility of 'epicycles'.
- According to Ptolemy, the planets that orbited Earth also orbited another smaller point.
- The smaller orbits followed by the planets while in motion around the Earth in a larger orbit were introduced by Ptolemy as 'epicycles'.
- Until Kepler proposed his models of the functioning of the Solar system, Ptolemy's models were considered the most relevant.

Europe is not a typically dry place (unlike for exampe Mesopotamia) so it does not need rivers for irrigation.
Instead, rivers are needed more for transport - they have served as a means of communication and for the exchange of goods.
For example, Danube allowed a big-scale trade between the cities lying on it: Vienna, Budapest and Bratislava.
The one unifying force the Europe might have had was mutual financial and economic interest. <span>The member states of the Europe cheated: most of them lied about their level of indebtedness, and as a consequence the Europe has already broken its constitutional pledge not to engage in bailouts.</span>
