English-Swedish translations for Ancient Greece

• antikens Grekland ett
  Som ni alla vet har tanken på olympisk fred sitt ursprung i de olympiska spelen i antikens Grekland.As you all know, the idea of the Olympic Truce dates back to the Olympic Games in ancient Greece.
  I antikens Grekland betydde den olympiska freden att fientligheter inställdes: hela den då kända världen stannade upp.In Ancient Greece the Olympic truce signalled an interruption of hostilities: all the then known world came to a stop.
  Men det är ett misstag av den västeuropeiska utbildningshistorien att vi definierar detta såsom antikens Grekland och det romerska imperiet.But it is an accident of Western European educational history that we define this in terms of Ancient Greece and Imperial Rome.
