Greek Culture Quest By: Hannah Maher

Ancient Greek Art Two Greek artists are Michelangelo and Alexander The Great. Alexander The Great was the founder of Greco-Buddhist Art. The three main resources people used in there sculptures are: Stone, Marble, and Limestone.

Ancient Greek Architecture There were three basic architectural systems: Doric – Sturdy, top is plain. Used in mainland Greece and colonies in southern Italy and Sicily. Ionic – Thinner, more elegant, capital is decorated with scroll-like design. Mostly found in eastern Greece and Islands. Corinthian – Seldom used in the Greek world. Seen on Roman temples. Very elaborate, decorated with acanthus leaves.

Ancient Greek Writing The Greeks adopted the Phoenician Script, or Phoenician Letters. This alphabet only had letters for consonants. When they found the alphabet they found letters that represented sounds not found in Greek. They didn’t throw them away. They changed them so that they could represent vowels. For example ‘aleph (stands for glottal stop) became the Greek letter alpha (stands for the a sound)

Not considered god, since he dwells in the underworld

Trojan War Caused because of the marriage of Peleus and Thetis, and sea goddess. They hadn’t invited Eris, goddess of discord, to there marriage. That made Eris REALLY mad. So she crashed the wedding banquet and through a golden apple onto the table, and said it belonged to whoever is the fairest. Hera, Athena, and Aphrodite went to grab the apple. Zeus said that Paris, prince of Troy and was said to be the most beautiful man alive, was going to judge. Hermes asked Paris, and Paris agreed. Hera promised him power, Athena promised him wealth, Aphrodite promised him the most beautiful women in the world. He chose Aphrodite, she promised him Helen, Menelaus’s wife, would be his wife. Paris went to Sparta to kidnap Helen. Twin prophets tried to convince him not to. Just like his mother had, but Paris didn’t listen. In Sparta Menelaus, Helens husband, treats Paris as a Royal guest. When Menelaus went to a funeral. Paris abducted Helen, and they left. When they got to Troy they were married.
