2. Ancient Greece was very fascinating. It included many different city states and cultures. Such as Sparta, the war like polis, and Athens, the more structural based polis. I went there to learn more about ancient Greece, and what I found out was outstanding.

3. Built on the Acropolis They used a gold and silver mix called electrum Market place was called Agora, here I ran in to Pericles, the ruler during the golden age Started using coins in 600 BC I was able to grab this one

4. Triangle piece on the top is called the pediment. The Parthenon was the most famous building in Greece. The Parthenon was dedicated to Athena I was able to snag a piece of Athena’s jewelry.

5. The Theater of Dionysus was where many plays took place. Cast was only 2-3 males. I got to keep one of the togas When there was a tragic play the humans acted with respect towards the gods

6. Proper education started in 600 BC Took 3-4 years to finish school Grammatistes taught language arts, Kitharists taught music, and Sophists were tutors Students were usually good listeners

7. Sculptures were life size Early 400 BC By the 5 th century they were the most realistic statues 2 most famous Zeus, Athena

8. I loved my trip to ancient Greece. I got to see so many places that helped my understanding so much more. If I had more time I would have gone to learn more about the woman and the pottery. If I had the chance I would go back in a heart beat. This was the greatest trip I have ever been on, ancient Greece was truly amazing.
