Alexander the Great

Born in 356 BC
He was tutored in philosophy
Alex was a ruler
It comes from his dad
Who really wasn’t cooler
…Macedonia was just a start
To his empire built with heart

He won every war that he’s ever fought
Riding on his horse that he always brought
Bucephalus was his name 
Yeah you heard it right
You know his horse friend could sure put up a fight!

Anatolia and Syria, Egypt and Judea
Phoenicia, Bactria
Even Persia too
Yeah these were the places Alexander took over
Sweeping over nations like a bulldozer

Here comes the end
And yeah it’s pretty sad
Alex gets sick and yeah it’s pretty bad
It all ended in Babylon
From this point on he could not carry on
Not many people showed him hate
After all, he was Alexander the Great

    I don't think there's much difference at all between rap and poetry. You did a great job with both.

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...
