Ancient Greece

Warm Up What does it mean to be Isolated? If you were Isolated from the rest of the world how would that change the way you see the world?

Crete Island of Crete= Minoan Civilization Named after King Minos Flourished between 2700 BC to 1450 BC

Greece Where is Greece and why is such an ancient civilization important to us? Greece is located in the Mediterranean Sea, Aegean Sea, and Ionian Sea Terrain- mountains and plateaus

Greece The mountains and plateaus divided Greece into separate parts Because of the separate parts people who settled in each area became slightly different than people in a different part. Think of Present day USA we have 50 different states, people from each state are a little different than each other.

Engage (Starter) Looking at the geographical map of Greece what natural advantages do the Greeks have in terms of defending themselves from invaders?

Greece City States or Polis dotted the Greek landscape Greeks were very religious people Many gods-Pagan Shared the same values as each other However the lands around Greece were war like and unstable

Greece To defend themselves Greeks used Hoplites Each Polis contained its own hoplite army. The Polis’s themselves developed differently due to being geographically separated.

Greece The Two main city states were Athens Sparta

Greece Athens was democratic they valued education and reason and peace Sparta was a warrior culture, they valued military, tough rugged, education was not a priority.

Engagement (Starter) What does it mean to have patriotism? Give an example

War in Greece What happens when people move and spread out into other lands? They come into contact with other people At times this can lead to conflict

War The Greeks came into contact with the Persian Empire They even had cities that had been taken by the Persian empire and had tried and unsuccessfully revolted This revolt angered Persian Ruler Darius He decided to invade Greece and did He lost at the Battle of Marathon

War Darius died 4 years later Xerxes became ruler of Persia Xerxes wanted revenge Xerxes led 180,000 troops into battle Thousands of Warships and Supply Ships

War Battle of Thermopylae 180,000 Persians vs Greeks Among the Greeks were 300 Spartans Held Persians off for 2 days Inflicted well over 20,000 casualties

War Reeling from Victory Persians marched into Greece Burned Athens Late 479 B.C. Largest Greek army ever assembled Defeated the Persians at Plataea Greece was on top of the Mediterranean World

Engagement (Starter) What does it mean if you are allowed to vote? Why do you think voting is important?

Democracy One thing that we still practice today that we took from Greek Culture is Democracy Democracy is a form of government In a democracy the people have the power

Pericles In Athens Pericles helped to usher in Democracy He was repeatedly elected to the Athenian council He helped to extend democracy to citizens of Athens and establish democracy as a good form of government.

Democracy Athenians Practiced Direct Democracy Male citizens (females couldn’t participate) went to a hillside every 10 days each month to decide things for the city Citizens could voice their opinions in these meetings.

Debate time One Essential part of a Democracy is being able to Debate. You will be debating Athens vs. Sparta These were the two most powerful Greek States You will debating which society was better.

Starter Why do people often after achieving success fail, quit, change for the worse? Think of all the famous athletes, musicians, actors etc that have fallen into this category.

End of Greece Athens and Sparta remained the two most powerful city-states. Sparta and Athens were constantly at odds with one another. Neither city state could accept the others values

End of Greece For 66 years Athens, Sparta, Thebes constantly battled with each other and tried to dominate Greece This weakened Greece and they ignored the growing power of Macedonia to the north

Alexander the Great A Macedonian King named Alexander the Great conquered Greece Alexander put an official end to Greece’s independence

Alexander By the Age of 33 he had conquered Greece Persia Egypt He controlled a vast majority of the known world Alexander preserved Greek culture

Greece Falls Greek culture still lives today in the form of Direct Democracy Philosophy through Plato, Aristotle, Socrates Through Dramas such as Antigone Art and Architecture And every four years the OLYMPICS

Architecture-notice a similarity
