Title Alexander the Great by …Jeremy Fejedelem  Paragraph 1

Alexander the Great was said to be a Great War hero, but what you don’t hear much about is his child life. Alexander was born in 1726, the same night that the temple of Artemis was set on fire. His hair was blond and he was very athletic. He had one gray eye and one black. Also he was said to be a very intelligent young man. As a kid he was taught Greek philosophy, art and science, his best known tutor being Aristotle.

Paragraph 2 Although his child life was very exiting Alexander’s best highlights were when he was a warrior and a leader. Alexander ruled the Asia Minor and was said to have one of the biggest empires of all time. Also he was said to be very smart and a great leader. People say that his conquest and the speed in which he made them were greater than any at the time. Alexander the great died in 1814. We still remember him till this day.

Title- The Trojan War by … Jason Hackiewicz

There was only one major cause in the Trojan War. It was that Eris, the god of discord, was not invited to Peleus’s and Thetis’s wedding. She threw a golden apple on a table and declared whoever was fairest earned the apple. The three gods who reached for the apple were Aphrodite, Hera and Athena. Paris was the judge of who got the apple.The three gods bribed him, Athena promised wealth, Hera promised power and Aphrodite promised the most beautiful woman in the world. Paris chose Aphrodite. This was Helen, Menelaus’s wife, he became angry when he heard that Paris had stolen her from him and the Trojan War began. The people (and gods) that were most important during the Trojan War were Paris, Menelaus, Helen, Achilles, Priam, Hector, Agamemnon, Odysseus, Aphrodite, Hera and Athena.  The actual war was brutal and horrible. Many people of each side were killed. Odysseus came up with a trick to destroy Troy. The Trojan horse was a huge wooden horse, that the city of Troy thought was a gift from the gods. They brought it in their city and at night a person named Sinon let all of the Greeks out, they destroyed everything when they were let out. They burned troy to the ground and killed Priam. As you can see the Trojan War was very important and had an effect on ancient times thttp://www.stanford.edu/~plomio/history.html This is what the Greeks did to the city of Troy.

Title – The Twelve Olympian Gods by … Matt Dunne

They believed in there gods because it would help them explain how the universe and world worked. How did Greeks worship their gods? The Greeks made big temples for each god. Also, they sacrificed animals. Last, they held festivals. These festivals started our modern day Olympics

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The two gods I chose were Zeus and Poseidon. Zeus had three brothers, a wife, and lots of children. His weapon was the thunder bolt, which he hurls at people who displease him. Zeus was known for being the god of all humanity and all the gods. He was also known for being the strongest god. Next we have Poseidon. He had a brother named Zeus and a wife named Amphitrite. His weapon was the trident, which shook the earth. This great god was known for being the second strongest god and as being the god of water.

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">This is Zeus and what he does when the Greeks anger him. []
