2 “It’s Greek to me” is a phrase claiming that an expression can not be understood, either because it is complex or an error. http://www.ubuntux.org/black-screen-during-installation-please-help-me What does this mean?

3 It may be used with respect to expressions with a lot of jargon, or language of the disciplines of math, or science. http://www.stuffintheair.com/mathematical-precitions-of- weather.html

4 It makes reference to the Greek language and the Greek alphabet. http://www.selu.edu/admin/greeklife/its_all_greek_to_me/index.html Why do you think that is?

5 Greek: ParthenonRoman: Coliseum http://newmexicoindependent.com/24755/roman-coliseum-to-be-lit- in-honor-of-new-mexico http://www.powerplaces.org/emailpromo/crete_2006_conference/

6 The Coliseum was a place where a lot of people could sit and watch entertainment. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colosseum

7 It was built of concrete and marble and limestone. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colosseum http://www.romanlife-romeitaly.com/ancient-roman- colosseum.html

8 The entertainment was mostly people killing animals, or people killing each other. It was almost exactly like a football stadium today. http://www.roman-colosseum.info/

10 The Parthenon was a temple to Athena built on top of the highest hill in Athens, the Acropolis (Acropolis means High City). http://www.mlahanas.de/Greeks/Arts/Parthenon.htm

11 The architects of the Parthenon set out to make it the best temple ever. Most Greek temples had six columns across the front – the Parthenon has eight. http://puffin.creighton.edu/eselk/intro- phil_on-line-course/Intro-phl- ol_Plato_Apology-Crito/Parthenon- history-sculpture_pg3.htm http://www.students.sbc.edu/mdavis04/Parthenon%20Gallery%20of%20Images.htm

12 Inside the temple, the architect carved a huge statue of Athena made out of gold and ivory. Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom, war, the arts, industry, justice and skill. http://arthistory.sdsu.edu/568/568_1/1_3.html

15 It was the great age of developing ideas in art, science, politics and more. In art Romans were influenced by the Greeks who were absorbed into their empire. http://www.artic.edu/cleo/MapGreece.html http://www.artic.edu/cleo/MapItaly.html Classical Greece 500-338BC Roman Empire 27 BC – AD 1453

16 Very few Greek painted pictures have survived the 2500 years since they were painted. So most of what we know about Greek art comes from the pictures they painted on fancy pottery. http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/24.97.30

17 Pottery, even if it gets broken, can be put back together, and a good deal of it has even survived whole, mostly in Etruscan tombs. http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/1976.11.5

18 But by around 450 BC, just eighty years after the invention of red-figure painting, hardly any vases were still being produced. We don't really know why this happened. http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/works-of-art/31.11.11

19 Maybe the Athenians were rich enough that they didn't need to sell their pottery to other people. Also, the Etruscans, who had bought a lot of this pottery, were no longer doing very well by 450 BC, and maybe they couldn't afford to buy Athenian pottery anymore. http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/wor ks-of-art/56.11.1

20 Both kinds of Greek Pots have pictures that tell a story. What story will you put on your clay pot?
