From the Paper
"The initial efforts of the postwar reconstruction called the Marshall Plan actually provided very little benefit to the nation of Greece. Part of that may be attributed to the fact that Greece had a major Civil War between 1946 and 1949 therefore the world's attention for post war reconstruction following World War II turned to other nations.

From the Paper
"Moreover, it is noted from the outset that the Greek Government and the Greek Orthodox Church both oppose increased "Timesharing in Greece," and each group for specific reasons of law and religious preservation of institutions. With these factors in mind, one shall be equipped to make an informed decision as to one's position on this issue. One factor obvious from the outset is that one cannot straddle the fence on this issue as many compromises shall be necessary to make this institution workable in Greece."

English in Greece, 2005.
This paper discusses teaching English and living in Greece.

Abstract
This paper explains that, in Greece, there is a huge demand for English teachers. The author points out that there are many English schools, known in Greek as Frontisteria in plural and Fronteisterio in singular, located in almost every neighborhood and cater primarily the local children, who must have a certificate of proficiency in English to get most better jobs. The paper relates that, to get a job as a teacher of English in Greece, one has to be a native English speaker and have a university degree with a certain amount of experience or attendance at a course for training teachers but a Greek teaching license is not required.
From the Paper
"The teacher has to get around the limitations imposed by the lack of furniture, and the passive attitude of the students by using the other interests of the students and thus make them interested in learning English, and adopt a new attitude towards education in general. Their inborn childish curiosity and enthusiasm must be allowed to come through. The teacher must have the imagination and know-how to be able to achieve this. The schools prescribed textbooks are mostly dull and uninteresting, and without this supplement of enthusiasm, teaching here will not be a good experience. The students here normally have a lot of interests concerning the activities connected with the English language-speaking people, and that should help the teacher to make the subject lively and interesting."

Abstract
The paper details the Persian invasion of Greece in the fifth century B.C. It explains that many Greek cities had already been invaded, but at the battle of Marathon, the Athenians fought the Persians and obtained a victory, even though they were severely outnumbered. The paper explains that ten years later, Xerxes decided to avenge the defeat at Marathon and wanted to establish Persian control over the Mediterranean area. The writer details the battle that ensued and explains how the Greeks won the battle against all odds. The writer explains why it was relatively easy for the Persians to conquer many Greek cities in the earlier invasion. It explains that in part, this was because in each of the cities that was conquered, there were influential people living there who were supporters of Persia. In conclusion, the writer posits that had Greece not had a victory against the Persians, the history of the Greek world, and maybe the whole of Europe would have been very different.
From the Paper
"Ten years later, the preparations made by Darius' son, Xerxes, to avenge the defeat at Marathon and establish the Persian control over the Mediterranean are complete. Preceded by awe inspiring preparations, like the construction of a bridge of boats over the Hellespont and the cutting of a channel over the isthmus at Mount Athos, the Persian Army again invades Greece, marching through Thrace, Thessaly and Locris. The Greek historian Herodotus states that the total number of Xerxes' land and naval forces was about 2,640,000 warriors. He said that when they were marching, they drank many a river dry. Modern historians agree that the actual numbers were actually probably between 200,000 and 300,000 warriors, and more than 1,000 ships. Herodotus describes in Book VII of his Histories the composition of Xerxes' army (chapters LXI - XCIX), which was highly heterogeneous, being composed from nations all over Asia as far as India and also some European nations."

Abstract
This paper discusses ancient Greece and Rome, noting first that the two major city-states in ancient Greece were Athens and Sparta, and these two cities had different social systems and concentrated on perfecting different aspects of life. The writer notes that the ancient Greeks developed a social system that reflected their geography and climate. The writer further points out that the city-state was the name given to the early kingdoms built around a small city, with the largest political unit being the city itself.
From the Paper
"The two major city-states in ancient Greece were Athens and Sparta, and these two cities had different social systems and concentrated on perfecting different aspects of life. The ancient Greeks developed a social system that reflected their geography and climate. The city-state was the name given to the early kingdoms built around a small city, with the largest political unit being the city itself. In time, city-states would join together to form larger political units, creating larger kingdoms and eventually empires stretching across much of a continent or other large area. For the Greeks, the city-state was the basic political unit, and the major ones were Athens and Sparta. The leadership in Athens was democratic, while that in Sparta was based more on strong military leaders."

Women in Ancient Greece, 2006.
This paper examines the role of women in ancient Greece, with a special focus on the women's festival of Thesmophoria.

Abstract
This paper explains that the limited information about women's lives in Ancient Greece comes mainly from the poems, plays and illustrations depicting women, which were written by men because few women were literate. The author points out that, while women were excluded from many religious rites outside the home, archaeological and literary evidence indicates that there were several festivals and ceremonies, which were exclusively for the women. The paper concludes that, although the women of Ancient Greece were marginalized and had no real voice in society, they most certainly did have a great influence on the men as witnesses by the belief of men that, if the men interfered with the Thesmophoria festival, the harvest would be bad. The paper includes images of ancient Greek art depicting women.
From the Paper
"Religion in Ancient Greece was very important, although not in the way we now know religion. In Ancient Greece, religion was not presided over by theologians, priests or prophets, as most modern religions are, but rather by the artists, poets and philosophers of the time, according to Hamilton however, define is perhaps the wrong word to use, instead they "express[ed] or suggest[ed] it". The goal of religion was not to achieve a pleasant afterlife, the Greeks believed that the underworld (Hades) was a place of unhappiness, but rather to achieve "Excellence" in this life."

Abstract
This paper states that sexual roles were very different in ancient Greece as compared to today. The author points out that the differences between sexuality and gender were even more distinct back in ancient Greece. The paper relates that Odysseus, as he makes his travels through "The Odyssey", frequently pushes the limits of his gender role as presented in chapters 9 and 22.
From the Paper
"Sexual roles were very different in ancient Greece, compared to those roles today. In fact, the differences between "sexuality" and "gender" were even more distinct back in ancient Greece. Just as in the modern world, sexual activity had certain strictures and gender roles had well-defined limits. All of these roles with their strictures and limits appeared in the literature of the time. Odysseus, as he makes his travels through The Odyssey, frequently pushes the limits of his gender role. This paper will discuss how he does so both in Chapter 9 and how he resolves this issue in Chapter 22. Over the centuries, men have traditionally been expected to behave "as men." Traditionally, they have taken on the role of family guardian and provider, of warrior and politician. Women have traditionally been the nurturers and caregivers, both soothing and passive."

From the Paper
"Travel and tourism are the largest industries in the world (Tarlow 2003). "From leisure to business travel and/or business plus pleasure travel, this modem industry plays a major role in economies around the globe" (Tarlow 2003, p. 52). In societies where travel has become dangerous and global products are available locally, the need to travel will diminish in the future. Likewise, the increased use of technology means that more meetings and conferences will be held in offices instead of convention centers. As a result, communities that have based their economic future solely on travel and tourism may find themselves in very difficult financial situations (Tarlow 2002). Furthermore, in the wake of the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 (Elkin 2001), and the current uneasy state of affairs in Europe and the Middle East, increasing security will be a must for air carriers, hotels, restaurants, and other services (Tarlow 2002). Unfortunately, increased security also can represent an impediment for luxury destinations (Holliday 2002)."

Abstract
This paper provides a brief overview of the ongoing struggle between Greece and Turkey. The paper describes the history of their relations, the wars fought between the two countries, massacres of populations and occupations of land, British involvement in the struggle, present day relations, as well as the current political situation in Cyprus.
From the Paper
"Despite many commonalitities, Greece and Turkey have been at odds for hundreds of years (Turkey pp). Although many subscribe to the myth of ancient hatred, there is however, a history of conflict that dates back to the entry of Turkish nomads into the Byzantine Empire in the 11th century, the eventual collapse of the Byzantine, the fall of Constantinople in 1453, and the long dominance of the Ottoman Dynasty over Greece and the Eastern Mediterranean islands (Turkey pp). Throughout history, the strategic location of the small Mediterranean island of Cyprus has been of interest of several states that sought to gain a foothold for Middle East invasions (Meier Pp). Greece gained control of the island in the 13th century B.C. and dominated the island until the Ottoman takeover of 1571, after which Turkish immigrants began to inhabit the island (Meier Pp). During the fall of the Ottoman Empire in the wake of its war with Russia, the United Kingdom negotiated to become the protecting power over Cyprus and officially gained sovereignty over the island in 1923 under the Treaty of Lausanne, making the island a British Crown Colony until its independence in 1960 (Meier Pp). Since Greece won its independence from the Ottoman Empire in 1832, relations between Greece and Turkey have been marked by mutual hostility resulting in four wars, The Greco-Turkish War of 1897, the Balkan Wars of 1912-1913, the First World War 1914-1918, and the Greco-Turkish War 1919-1922 (Ottoman pp)."
