Sparta (1) - The Acropolis of Ancient Sparta
Back in Greece after two years, this time a lot more videos were recorded!
Sparta is famous for its fighting force and for the battle of Thermopylae, but ancient Sparta itself remains shrouded in mystery.
Very little remains of the original Spartan city, but here we can at least see the same stunning views the ancient Spartans had of their surroundings.
The acropolis is much larger than the small section shown here, and much more excavation needs to be carried out to reveal more of the original acropolis.

View full lesson:
It’s 427 BCE, and the worst internal conflict ever to occur in the ancient Greek world is in its fourth year. Athens is facing a big decision: what to do with the people of Mytilene, a city on the island of Lesbos where a revolt against Athenian rule has just been put down. How did these kinds of decisions get made? Robert Garland outlines a day in the life of Athenian democracy.

ANCIENT ATHENS. Bronze Age / Classical Greece. 3D Animated.
Greek Goddess ATHENA of Wisdom and War.
Athens is one of the oldest named cities in the world, having been continuously inhabited for at least 5000 years. Situated in southern Europe, Athens became the leading city of Ancient Greece in the first millennium BC, and its cultural achievements during the 5th century BC laid the foundations of western civilization.
Athens as a center of literature, philosophy (Greek philosophy), and the arts (Greek theatre). In Athens at this time, the political satire of Democracy , the Comic poets at the theatres had a remarkable influence on public opinion.
Some of the most important figures of Western cultural and intellectual history lived in Athens during this period: the dramatists Aeschylus, Aristophanes, Euripides and Sophocles, the physician Hippocrates, Pythagoras, the philosophers Aristotle, Plato and Socrates, the historians Herodotus, Thucydides and Xenophon, the poet Simonides, and the sculptor Phidias. The leading statesman of this period was Pericles, who used the tribute paid by the members of the Delian League to build the Parthenon and other great monuments of classical Athens. The city became, in Pericles's words, the school of Hellas (Greece).

Acropolis Athens History Of Greece || Worldwide
Acropolis adalah dataran tinggi berbatu setinggi 156 m, dan ada beberapa reruntuhan bangunan kuno yang dulunya adalah kuil yg menjadi pusat sejarah Athena. Kini Acropolis menjadi bukti sejarah kebanggaan Athena tentang kejayaan sekitar 2.400 tahun lalu.
Acropolis mulai dibangun 1.300 tahun s.m sebenarnya sebuah kota kecil yang permai, sampai kerajaan Persia menghancurkannya di tahun 480 sebelum masehi. Setahun kemudian tentara Yunani mengalahkan Persia dan membangun ulang kuil-kuil itu. Antara tahun 467 sampai 404 s.m bangunan tersebut selesai dibangun. Pada tahun 1834 Athena menjadi ibukota Yunani, raja Otto menetapkan Acropolis sebagai bangunan arkeologi yang dilindungi. Tahun 1975 Acropolis direstorasi. Bangunan kuno terbesar di Acropolis adalah Parthenon Demokrasi dalam bidang politik yang kita kenal pada saat ini merupakan salah satu sumbangan dari dinasti Hellenislic (650-30 SM) pada zaman kekaisaran Yunani Kuno, dimana hak-hak sipil untuk menyampaikan pendapat secara bebas diakui. Sebagai ciri khas pola kota Yunani Kuno yang berupa Negara kota, di mana terdapat ruang-ruang terbuka untuk aktivitas demokrasi dan ditandai dengan bangunan-bangunan Negara untuk pihak eksekutif, legislatif dan yudikatif, salah satunya adalah Acropolis. Itulah tradisi athen yang tidak bertujuan kepada militerisme, sehingga kota-kota di zaman Yunani Kuno sering mendapat serangan dari bangsa-bangsa di sekitarnya, terutama dari Persia.
Berbeda dari tradisi Spartan yang banyak terdapat pada kota-kota abad pertengahan di kawasan Bavaria atau Jerman sekarang yang memang menunjukkan keunggulan bangsanya melalui kemenangan dalam peperangan. Konsep demokrasi tersebut dirumuskan kembali oleh ilmuwan Prancis setelah abad pertengahan, Montesquieu (1689-1755), dalam Esprit des Lois. Acropolis dibangun pada masa kepemimpinan kaisar Pericles (495-429 SM) yang merupakan zaman keemasan Yunani di Athena. Acropolis terletak pada lokasi yang menarik pada sebuah perbukitan kota Athena, dan dari sini dapat dinikmati pemandangan kekawasan perdagangan Athena, Agora (sebuah pasar) yang merupakan pusat keramaian, sehingga Acropolis menyimbolkan dewi kebijaksanaan, keadilan, semangat dan inspirasi penduduk Athena. Lingkungan utama komplek Acropolis terdiri atas kuil-kuil yang membentuk sebuah panorama kota, antara lain Erichteion, Parthenon, Nike dan Propylaea. Erichteion adalah sebuah bangunan kuil yang masih baru dan sangat indah sebagai pengganti bangunan sebelumnya yang mengalami kehancuran pada 480 SM akibat peperangan dengan bangsa Persia yang dipimpin Salamis. Kuil yang dibangun oleh arsitek Mnesicles antara tahun 421-405 SM dan memiliki ukuran yang kecil, tak beraturan, bertingkat dengan gaya kolom ionic ini terletak pada situs yang dikelilingi oleh hutan keramat dan tanah perkuburan. Terdapat tiga ciri utama kuil ini,
1.yaitu adanya beranda,
2. jendela di setiap bagian dari pintu di beranda sebelah timur dan
3. ornamen berbentuk gadis pada kolom yang berfungsi sebagai penopang atap beranda bagian selatan. Bentuk ini sedikit ramping dan berkesan seolah-olah sedang menjunjung beban berupa atap.
Parthenon adalah kuil dimana terdapat sebuah patung yang sangat besar, yang terbuat dari gading dan emas. Parthenon merupakan bangunan yang sangat menonjol dan merupakan pusat dari Acropolis. Parthenon dibangun antara 447-438 SM sebagai karya dari arsitek Ictimus (Iktinos) dan Callicrates (Kallikrates) dan ahli pematung Phidias (Pheidias).
Bangunan Parthenon dikatakan sebagai 'kesempurnaan terbesar dari karya kuil Doric yang pernah di bangun', sebuah penampilan dengan proporsi sempurna yang dihasilkan oleh ahli maya-loka Athena. Nike merupakan kuil terkecil yang bagi penduduk Athena dianggap sebagai kuil pembawa keberuntungan bagi kota Athena. Propylaea adalah bangunan berbentuk pintu gerbang karya arsitek mnesicless, tapi pembangunannya tak sempat diselesaikan karena terjadi peperangan dengan bangsa Peloponnesia. Puing-puing dari bangunan tersebut masih bisa dilihat sampai sekarang, tetapi ada beberapa bangunan yang benar-benar sudah hilang antara lain; Pinacotheca (sebuah gallery seni), Theater Dionysus, Odeon (sebuah ruang musik dari Herodes Atticus) dan Stoa (sebuah tempat berteduh dan tempat berpameran dengan colonnade dari Eumenes). Patung Promachos karya Pheidias yang sangat besar dan terbuat dari perunggu dan mendominasi wajah kota.
Kota Athena, dengan Acropolis sebagai kota pertama pada zaman Yunani Kuno yang sampai sekarang masih bisa dilihat. Pada zaman inilah kayu mulai dipakai sebagai bahan konstruksi bangunan dan disebut dengan istilah Carpenty in marble.
Arsitek Romawi Marcus Vitrivius Pollio banyak menulis tentang arsitektur yang bersumber dari sini, yang ditulis dalam bukunya De Architettura yang terdiri dari 10 buku. Dalam buku itu terdapat prinsip simetri, harmoni dan proporsi yang merupakan perluasan dari prinsip proporsi, komposisi dan presisi dari zaman Yunani Kuno yang disebut Entasis. Konsep ini lebih rinci terlihat dalam bentuk

Sparta (2) - The Theatre of Ancient Sparta
Back in Greece after two years, this time a lot more videos were recorded!
Sparta is famous for its fighting force and for the battle of Thermopylae, but ancient Sparta itself remains shrouded in mystery.
The theatre seen today is a later Roman theatre, with Hellenistic foundations. On the eastern wall every block has been inscribed with Greek writing and makes spectacular viewing. Excavations and rebuilding continue...

Sparta - Greece HD Travel Channel
The region of Sparta has been inhabited already for 4000 years. King Otto of Greece founded modern Sparta in 1836. He was the first Greek king after independence. It is impossible to miss the monument of Leonidas, whom we will meet again at the Thermopylae. His heroic fight represents the military strength of ancient Sparta.
Sparta was the only Greek Polis that had no defensive walls until the Hellenistic period, as the city's troops were strong enough to fend off an attack.
Nearby a monument commemorates all the great Greek Olympic champions since the beginning of the Games.
On the former Acropolis, we see only a few remains of the ancient city like the ruins of a Stoa and a theater from the Roman Empire.
Sparta always polarized the people. Here one trained the young men to unconditional fight. On the other hand, one can find the first state order with separation of powers here; the great Rhetra, a document on Greek constitutional history that institutionalized political processes.
The Acropolis offers a beautiful view of the Byzantine fortified city of Mystras. The construction of Mystras led to the desolation of ancient Sparta.

Die Region um Sparta ist bereits seit 4000 Jahren besiedelt. 1836 gründete König Otto I. das moderne Sparta. Er war der erste griechische König nach der Unabhängigkeit.
Unübersehbar ist das Denkmal von Leonidas, den wir bei den Thermopylen wieder treffen werden. Sein heroischer Kampf steht für die militärische Stärke des antiken Sparta.
Sparta war die einzige griechische Polis, die bis zur hellenistischen Zeit über keine Wehrmauer verfügte, da die Truppen der Stadt stark genug waren, einen Angriff abzuwehren.
In der Nähe befindet sich ein Denkmal mit allen bekannten griechischen Olympiasiegern seit Beginn der Spiele.
Auf der ehemaligen Akropolis sind nur noch spärliche Reste der einstigen Stadt zu sehen, die Ruinen einer Stoa und eines Theaters aus der römischen Kaiserzeit.
Sparta polarisierte immer die Menschen, da es die jungen Männer zu bedingungslosen Kampf erzog. Auf der anderen Seite kann man hier die erste Staatsordnung mit Gewaltenteilung vorfinden; die große Rhetra, ein Dokument zur griechischen Verfassungsgeschichte, das politische Prozesse institutionalisierte.
Von der Akropolis aus hat man einen schönen Blick auf die byzantinische Festungsstadt Mystras. Der Bau von Mystras führte zur Verödung des antiken Sparta.

The Tomb of Leonidas - Sparta, Greece
Also known as the Leonidaion or Leonidaeon, this 5th century structure is the supposed tomb of King Leonidas. It is located in the center of modern Sparti. There is no evidence linking this structure to Leonidas and no one knows for certain where his remains are located. The massive stone blocks are still impressive and must have been an important and beautiful building. The structure's layout suggests that it was a temple, perhaps dedicated to Apollo.
