It is believed that Homer was blind. His poems were not originally written down, but memorized. I lived during the 700s or 800s BC. Homer Homer was the greatest poet of the ancient world. I wrote the Illiad and the Odyssey, two epic poems that are read by students today. My poems tell the stories of great heroes. The Illiad is a story of the last years of the Trojan War and a hero named Achilles. The Odyssey tells of a hero named Odysseus’s travels following the war. Odysseus meets obstacles like monsters, magicians, and angry gods. These poems were memorized by students as part of their education.

Pericles I ruled from 460 BC to 429 BC. I was a leader of Greece who was very proud of my country. Under my rule, democracy reached its height. In a democratic government, rulers are elected and opinions of the people are taken into consideration. I believed that my people should speak their voice, and that serving in government is just as important as fighting in the military. I believed democracy was so important that I even paid people to participate. Before democracy, civilizations were ruled by one or a few rulers. Democracy allowed for all citizens to have a say.

Sophocles I was a famous Greek playwright. I lived from 496- 406 BC. Sophocles I was a famous Greek playwright. I focused mostly on tragedies. Not only was I the writer of some of the most famous tragedies in history, I was also an actor. Tragedies are plays that tell of terrible events that occur in the lives of the characters. My most famous tragedy is called Oedipus the King. This tragedy tells of an orphan who is destined to killed his father and marry his mother, which he does.

Euripides Much like Sophocles, I was a playwright. I lived from 480-406 BC. Euripides Much like Sophocles, I was a playwright. However, I was kind of a rebel and wrote about things that not many Greeks agreed with. I wrote plays that made fun of gods and government. Because I wasn’t very popular, many people made fun of me and treated me poorly. My works still live on, however, as plays different than anything that had ever been written before. I wrote between 75 and 92 plays.
