List of wars involving Greece: This is a list of known wars, conflicts, battles/sieges, missions and operations involving ancient Greek city states and kingdoms, Magna Graecia, other Greek colonies (First Greek colonisation, Second Greek colonisation, Greeks in pre-Roman Crimea, Greeks in pre-Roman Gaul), Greek Kingdoms of Hellenistic period, Byzantine Empire/ Byzantine Greeks, Byzantine Greek successor states of the Byzantine Empire, Kingdom of Greece and Greece between 3000 BC and the present day.

Python (painter): Python (ca. 360-320 BCE) was a Greek vase painter in the city of Poseidonia (modern Paestum) in Campania, Southern Italy, one of the major cities of Magna Graecia in the fourth Century BC.  Together with his close collaborator and likely master Asteas, Python is one of only two vase painters from Southern Italy whose names have survived on extant works.  It has even been suggested that the joint workshop of Asteas and Python in Paestum was a family business.  (He is not to be confused with the attic vase painter of the early fifth century BC of the same name.)

History of the Roman Constitution: The History of the Roman Constitution is a study of Ancient Rome that traces the progression of Roman political development from the founding of the city of Rome in 753 BC to the collapse of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD.  The constitution of the Roman Kingdom vested the sovereign power in the King of Rome.  The king did have two rudimentary checks on his authority, which took the form of a board of elders (the Roman Senate) and a popular assembly (the Curiate Assembly).  The arrangement was similar to the constitutional arrangements found in contemporary Greek city-states (such as Athens or Sparta).  These Greek constitutional principles probably came to Rome through the Greek colonies of Magna Graecia in southern Italy.  The Roman Kingdom was overthrown in 510 BC, according to legend, and in its place the Roman Republic was founded.

Museo Nazionale della Magna Grecia: The Museo Nazionale della Magna Grecia ("National Museum of Magna Græcia"), Museo Archeologico Nazionale di Reggio Calabria ("National Archaeological Museum of Reggio Calabria") or Palazzo Piacentini is a museum in Reggio Calabria, southern Italy, housing an archaeological collection from sites in Magna Graecia.

Griko people: The Griko people (Greek: Γκρίκο ) sometimes spelled Grico, Greco in Calabria, and also known as Grecanici are an ethnic Greek community of Southern Italy, they are found principally in regions of Calabria (Province of Reggio Calabria) and Apulia (peninsula of Salento).  The Griko are believed to be remnants of the once large Ancient and Medieval Greek communities of southern Italy (the old Magna Graecia region), although there is dispute among scholars as to whether the Griko community is directly descended from ancient Greeks or from more recent medieval migrations during the Byzantine domination.  Greek people have been living in Southern Italy for millennia, initially arriving in Southern Italy in numerous waves of migrations, from the ancient Greek colonisation of Southern Italy and Sicily in the 8th century BC through to the Byzantine Greek migrations of the 15th century caused by the Ottoman conquest.  In the Middle Ages Greek, regional communities were reduced to isolated enclaves.  Although most Greek inhabitants of Southern Italy have become entirely Italianized over the centuries, the Griko community has been able to preserve their original Greek identity, heritage, language and distinct culture, although exposure to mass media has progressively eroded their culture and language.

Asteas: Asteas (active between 350 and 320 BC in Paestum, Southern Italy) was one of the more active ancient Greek vase painters in Magna Graecia, practicing the red-figure style.  He managed a large workshop, in which above all hydriai and kraters were painted.  He painted mostly mythological and theatrical scenes.  He is one of the few vase painters of the Greek colonies whose name comes down to us.

Magna Graecia: Magna Graecia ( , ; Latin meaning "Great Greece", Greek: Μεγάλη Ἑλλάς , "Megálē Hellás", Italian: "Magna Grecia" ) was the name given by the Romans to the coastal areas of Southern Italy in the present-day regions of Campania, Apulia, Basilicata, Calabria and Sicily that were extensively populated by Greek settlers; particularly the Achaean settlements of Croton, and Sybaris, and to the north, the settlements of Cumae and Neapolis.  The settlers who began arriving in the 8th century BC brought with them their Hellenic civilization, which was to leave a lasting imprint in Italy, such as in the culture of ancient Rome.  Most notably the Roman poet Ovid referred to the south of Italy as "Magna Graecia" in his poem "Fasti".

Phlyax play: A Phlyax play (Ancient Greek: φλύαξ , also phlyakes), also known as a hilarotragedy, was a burlesque dramatic form that developed in the Greek colonies of Magna Graecia in the 4th century BCE.  Its name derives from the Phlyakes or “Gossip Players” in Doric Greek.  From the surviving titles of the plays they appear to have been a form of mythological burlesque, which mixed figures from the Greek pantheon with the stock characters and situations of Attic New Comedy.

History of the Constitution of the Roman Kingdom: The History of the Constitution of the Roman Kingdom is a study of the ancient Roman Kingdom that traces the progression of Roman political development from the founding of the city of Rome in 753 BC to the overthrow of the Roman Kingdom in 510 BC.  The constitution of the Roman Kingdom vested the sovereign power in the King of Rome.  The king did have two rudimentary checks on his authority, which took the form of a board of elders (the "Roman Senate") and a popular assembly (the "Curiate Assembly").  The arrangement was similar to the constitutional arrangements found in contemporary Greek city-states (such as Athens or Sparta).  These Greek constitutional principles probably came to Rome through the Greek colonies of Magna Graecia in southern Italy.  In the centuries before the legendary founding of the city of Rome, Greek settlers had colonized much of the Mediterranean world.  These settlers carried Greek ideals with them, and often kept in contact with the Greek mainland.  Thus, the superstructure of the Roman constitution was ultimately of Greek origin.

Greeks in Italy: Greek presence in Italy begins with the migrations of the old Greek Diaspora in the 8th century BC, continuing down to the present time.  There is a linguistic minority known as the Griko people, who live in the Southern Italian regions of Calabria (Province of Reggio Calabria) and Apulia, especially the peninsula of Salento, within the old Magna Graecia region, who speak a distinctive dialect of Greek called Griko.  They are believed to be remnants of the ancient and medieval Greek communities, who have lived in the south of Italy for centuries.  Alongside this group, a smaller number of more recent migrants from Greece lives in Italy, forming an expatriate community in the country.  Today many Greeks in Southern Italy follow Italian customs and culture.
