Alexander the Great by Zac Filippelli

Alexander the Great was born in 352 and died 323 BC, only living 29 years. Alexander the Great was also known as Alexander III. His father was King Philip II of Macedon; his mother was Olympias a Greek goddess. Alexander became king of Macedon in 336 BC and was a great leader on the battlefield. Olympias was very important in Alexander’s life; she helped him get interested in art and religious studies.

Originally, Alexander was a crusader to fight against the invasion and destruction of the beautiful buildings of Greece. Alexander really wanted the people of Greece to be able to think and speak freely. Alexander was one of the most powerful and greatest generals of his time. In 323 BC, Alexander was planning a trip by sea around Arabia but he caught a fever and died. Alexander had several wives, but Roxana, a Bactrian princess was the mother of his only son. His son’s name was Alexander Aegus.

__Mythology Zeus and Hades__ __ By: Chris Konicki __

Greeks believed in the Gods because they thought that the Gods would take care of them when they die. The Greeks believed the Gods controlled everything around them. It is important to please the Gods. Happy Gods help you, angry Gods punish you. The Greeks had places in there homes where they could pray to the Gods. The Greeks believed that all Gods came from the Earth and the sky. The Zeus and Hades are the sons Cronos.

Zeus is the ruler of all Gods and Humanity. Hades is the ruler of the under world. Zeus and Hades had two brothers and three sisters. Zeus’s wife Hera and him had lots of kids and they all have magical powers. Zeus had many powers. He could throw lightning bolts. His horse, Pegasus carried all his lightning bolts. Zeus could throw his voice and sound like anybody. He could also shape shift and look like anybody. He was so good at shape shifting he could turn into animals. The name Hades means “The Invisible.” The realm he rules over is also called Hades. Hades was married to Demeter and had Persephone. Hades decided who went to hell and who went to Heaven. Hades sisters touched souls so they could be brought to him. Greeks also had public places where they could leave presents. [] www. [] www. [] [|www.http//Google.com]

Cultural Achievements by: Timothy Cruz

Dramas/Tragedies The first dramas were performed by one actor and a chorus of 50 people who would help the actor tell the story. Rich people sponsored plays by paying taxes. They did this to get into politics.Dramas are a part of a celebration that honors Dionysus in the city-state, Athens. Also, while these festivals were taking place, hymns were sung by dramatic characters and a chorus. The Greeks are the first civilization to have dramas. They had built semicircle outdoor theaters. First it was made of wood, soon it was stone. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The Athens and Epidaurus theaters can seat 15,000 people and the Argos theaters can seat 20,000. The chorus came in and out of a paradoi and the actors came in and out of the doors in the back wall of the stage. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The Athens and Epidaurus theaters can seat 15,000 people and the Argos theaters can seat 20,000. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Tragedies are drama plays that usually end badly for the main character.

Comedies

<span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-font-kerning: 14.0pt;">Comedies were much different from dramas, they didn’t have any sad endings. Instead, they made fun of well-known people, politics, customs and men in power. Aristophanes did the Old Comedy. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Then later, Menanders did the New Comedy. Greek comedy has been divided into Old Comedy and New Comedy. The Old Comedy focused on political related things. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">The New Comedy focused on personal themes. A country in Greek called Attica was where comedy came from. Comedy is a branch of drama, because it always uses smart dialogue and poetry. <span style="font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">Just like dramas, comedies also have masked actors and choruses.

Sparta and Athens are both located in Greece and both have fair governments. The two city-states fought along side each other in the Persian invasion of Greece. Sparta and Athens both had good honorable warriors at that time period. Soon after, Sparta and Athens became neutral to each other and some say later they were enemies. This causes war which leads me to there differences. Sparta’s government is a little different than Athens because they used a method of assembly which elected two kings that ruled Sparta. Athens invented democracy which lead the people to decide which archon rules Athens. Life was simple in Sparta, its main job and focus was war and conquering other lands. Athens was more of an artistic city-state and more peaceful. Sparta is also on an island and Athens is on a large peninsula. All in all, Sparta and Athens both will always have differences and similarities and always will. __[]__ <span style="font-family: Arial,serif;"> Picture of ancient Greece [] <span style="font-family: Arial,serif;">Spartan warriors vs. Athens warriors

A Greek warrior, Achilles killed a prince of Troy, whose name was Hector. Hector was also Paris’ older brother. The Greeks decided to fight the Trojans in their own way. They built the Trojan Horse, as a gift made out of wood. It was easy for the Greek soldiers to hide in because it was hollow, allowing them to fit inside of it. They then attacked the Trojan city from the night and Paris had beaten Achilles by shoot his heel with an arrow, killing him. At that, the war had ended.
