In the class of western civilization we finished up talking about Greece. In the end of the power point we were talking about homer. After we finished talking about the blind homer who tells stories. We had to take a pop quiz I did good I ended up only getting one wrong surprisingly. That is all for today folks.

In class today we started to go in depth into Greece. We learned that over half on Greece is mountains. If you had to travel to the other side of a place in Greece and you could walk it would be faster to take a bout all the way around because there are lots of mountains.

Plato
Plato was born around 428 B.C.  His father Ariston died when he was a child. His mother Perictione remarried the politician Pyrilamp. Ploto grew up during the Peloponnesian war. He was educated in philosophy, poetry and gymnastics by distinguished Athenian teachers including the philosopher Cratylus. He became a devoted follower of Socrates. Plato’s recollections of Socrates’ lived-out philosophy and style of relentless questioning became the basis for his early dialogues, which historians agree offer the most accurate available picture of the elder philosopher, who left no written works of his own. Ploto spent 12 years traveling around Italy, Sicily and Egypt. While he was traveling hyena was studying with other philosophers. He also followed followers of mystic mathematician Pythagoras. The 40 year old Plato returned to Athens and found his school in the clutch of the Greek hero Academus. Plato's final years were spent at the Academy and with his writing. The circumstances surrounding his death are clouded, though it is fairly certain that he died in Athens around 348 B.C. Many people think Plato died at a wedding some other people think he died peacefully in his sleep.

cyber day again

Greece made many great building

The temple of Athena Nike -  they built this around 300 B.C   The design of the temple was known as dipteral. Dipteral is two sets of columns surrounding the interior section. In the inner section there was a chamber that had a statue of Apollo. The Coombs were 64 Ft high

The Corinthian order - this temple did not reach full development until the middle of the 4th century B.C. it is the oldest known temple the columns of the temple are Corinthian. Corinthian  style is seldom used in the Greek world, but often seen on Roman temples. Its capital is very elaborate and decorated with acanthus leaves.

Erechtheum- - temple from the middle classical period of Greek art and architecture, built on the Acropolis of Athens between 421 and 405BC. This temple has sanctuaries in it. The sanctuaries are to  Athena Polias, Poseidon, and Erechtheus. The east side of the temple gave access to the temple of Athena. This was separated by a wall to the western side of the sanctuaries. The north side which is at a lower level gives access to the western side threw a fine doorway. The south side which is known as the Porch of the Caryatids. from the six sculptured draped female figures that support its entablature.it  is the temple's most striking feature; it forms a gallery or tribune. The west end of the building, with windows and engaged Ionic columns, is a modification of the original, built by the Romans when they restored the building. One of the east columns and one of the caryatids were removed to London by Lord Elgin, replicas being installed in their places.
