Art and architecture<br />

Greek Pottery<br />

Ancient Greek pottery has<br />

survived for thousands of<br />

years. The Greek pottery<br />

allows archaeologists to use<br />

pottery fragments and study<br />

the Greek history.<br />

Pottery was painted with<br />

abstract designs and realistic<br />

murals.<br />

For Greeks<br />

literature,especially<br />

poetry and drama,<br />

helped explain the past<br />

and the present.<br />

Literature.<br />

Literature was often<br />

accompanied by<br />

music and served as<br />

entertainment.<br />

Greek life was dominated by<br />

religion, meaning religious people<br />

ran the country.<br />

It is not at all surprising that the<br />

Greek temples were biggest and most<br />

beautiful.


Government<br />

the region<br />

helped shape<br />

the government<br />

and culture of<br />

Greece.<br />

-Only men could be<br />

full citizens.<br />

The majority of<br />

Greek states were<br />

governed by groups<br />

of rich land owners.<br />

-Women couldn't hold<br />

public office or vote.<br />

- Slaves could not be<br />

citizens.


Science and technology<br />

Mathematics-Potentially the most important Greek was Euclid. Euclid<br />

created many books based on geometry and its elements.The books<br />

became known as the most successful textbooks in history. People used<br />

these textbooks for over 2000 years. Greeks were greatly amused with<br />

numbers and how they affect the real world.<br />

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />

Medicine-Greeks were one of the first cultures to examine medicine as a<br />

scientific way to cleanse illness and disease. Greeks had doctors that<br />

studied ill people and came up with medication and cure remedies.<br />

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />

Inventions-. Greeks enjoyed to study the world and decided to make<br />

practical inventions, such as watermill, alarm clock, crane and central<br />

heating.<br />

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------<br />

Biology-Greeks adore studying the world including living organism.<br />

Trade and commerce<br />

important<br />

for every civilization, and still<br />

is.<br />

vessels, olive oil,wine,<br />

textiles and metalwork. They<br />

brought into the city pork,<br />

cheese, perfumes, glass,<br />

from places like Sicily, Arabia,<br />

Egypt, Carthage, and Ethiopia.


Mythology<br />

Medusa-Medusa was not always a monster, according<br />

to the myth Medusa was once a ravishing woman.<br />

Every man in Greece wanted to possess her, but she<br />

could not get married she was a priestess of Athena .<br />

Athena is a virgin goddess, the servants in her temple<br />

had to be and stay virginal. When she was raped by the<br />

god of the sea, that caused Athena to curse Medusa<br />

without warning. Medusa claws desperately at her face<br />

and her face cracks and her hair becomes snakes.<br />

Because of the curse Medusa could not have any<br />

interactions with anyone else, if someone were to look<br />

her in the eye they would turn to stone.
