Sure! Here are the answers to your questions:

  1. The Greek tyrant who became popular by giving land to landless farmers was Hippias, though it's important to note that his father, Pisistratus, initiated many of the land reforms that benefitted farmers.

  2. The Mycenaeans learned many things from the Minoans, including writing systems (specifically Linear A and later Linear B), artistic styles, and aspects of trade and seafaring.

  3. The 300-year period of time in Greece beginning around 1100 is known as the Greek Dark Ages.

  4. The Athenian assembly appointed ten generals who were responsible for military strategy and leadership during battles. They played a crucial role in leading Athenian forces during conflicts, including the Peloponnesian War.

  5. Sparta was finally able to defeat Athens at the end of the Peloponnesian War by forming an alliance with Persia, which provided them with financial resources to build a powerful navy, allowing them to cut off Athenian supply lines and secure victories at sea. This ultimately led to the blockade of Athens and contributed to its surrender in 404 BCE.
