Symptoms of bile reflux typically include one or more of the following: 1  Chronic heartburn â burning sensation in your chest that occurs more than two times per week or persists over a long period of time.  Upper abdominal pain â burning or gnawing pain in the stomach that may be severe.
The Ancient Greeks believed that a family of gods lived in a cloud palace above Mount Olympus (the highest mountain in Greece). These gods were thought to have special powers, and each had control over a different aspect of life. Join National Geographic Kids as we meet some of them...
Wars were very common in ancient Greece. The Greeks lived in little city-states, each one like a small town in the United States today, with no more than about 100,000 people in each city-state. These city-states - Athens, Sparta, Corinth, Thebes - were always fighting each other over their borders. Often they would get together in leagues, a lot of city-states together, to fight as allies. Sometimes other people invaded Greece, and then there would be wars to defend the city-states from the invaders.
