Test Tomorrow! (part one)

-
   Today in class, we took notes on the powerpoint still. Tomorrow, we have our Ancient Greece test (part one). There are two parts to it; the one tomorrow will cover slides 1-32 of the powerpoint, and textbook pages 123-133. I am really scared because there is so much I need to go over and study. Also, I really don't hope there is some trick question or complicated wording on the test. However, you really never know what to expect on Mr. Schick's tests. So, I am just going to study really hard tonight and hope that everything goes well. I have a bed feeling about this test and I don't know if I will get a good grade. Maybe if I look over everything I need to know, very carefully, I will be okay. Let's hope tomorrow will go by smoothly and that we will have an easy test.

There were usually main characters and tragic heroes. The tragic hero had what is called a "tragic flaw". This is what causes the downfall of this hero. Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides were great authors of tragedies in Ancient Greece. The other type of drama is called a comedy. Comedies contained scenes slapstick situation and crude humor. In comedies, politics and respected people/ideas were usually made fun of. A playwright named Aristophanes wrote the first great comedies for the stage like The Birds  and Lysistrata . (b) An Ancient Greek comedy has similarities to the movie Home Alone . For starters, they both  colorful costumes/se...

Ancient Greece Architecture

   This is the Temple of Hera in Olympia. This temple was built in 590 BC to honor Hera, the queen of Greek goddesses. The architectural style of this temple was called Doric (see picture below), and consisted of 16 columns. The lower part of the temple was made out of limestone while the upper part was built using mud bricks and terra-cotta tiles. Back in Ancient Greece, when it was still new (and not destroyed), the Temple of Hera consisted of three rooms. Two of these rooms contained statues of Zeus and Hara. However, the temple was later demolished by an earthquake in the fourth century AD.    This is the Parthenon in Acropolis. It was built in 447 BC and dedicated to Athena, goddess of wisdom. The Parthenon was built after the Greek's victory over the Persians, as a way to celebrate their win. However, it also represents the strength of the Athenian democracy at the time, along with Ancient Greece in general. The Parthenon was also built in a Doric a...
