Greek Architecture•Greek architecture has influenced much

of the architecture of the US such as the White House, as shown below.

Greek Easter•Greek kids play an egg game on Easter

in which they try to hold one egg, and break other childrens eggs. The kid with the last egg standing is really lucky and they, unlike the other children, will not be in serious need of a shower.

Trojan War•The Trojan War was a war between the Mycenaeans (Greeks) and the Trojans over the king’s wife. The Greeks won because of Odysseus’s idea to hide in a giant wooden horse. I have no idea why the Trojans brought the thing into the city, but they were stupid enought to do it.

The Olympic Games•The Olympics

originated in Greece and were haeld in honor of their god Zeuz.

The Greek Flag

• The Greek Flag is based on nine equal horizontal stripes of blue alternating with white. There is a blue canton in the upper hoist-side corner bearing a white cross; the cross symbolizes Eastern Orthodox Christianity.

The Sicilian War

• The Sicilian war Sicily was attacked by Syracuse in 416 BC. Under the able guidance of Alcibiades. Alcibiades was held for crimes against religious statues (hermai). Alcibiades was allowed for the Sicilian expedition but on arriving called back to Athens for trial. He fled to Sparta and Nicias was the new leader. Alcibiades became a Spartan messenger.

The Parthenon(A Greek Temple)• The Parthenon was built in

438 B.C. as a temple for Athena, the goddess of war.   Today it is the most popular tourist attraction in Greece.

The Greek Alphabet!•The Greeks modeled our English alphabet

Greek Art

•Greeks drew and sculpted a lot of people. Mainly heroes and their gods.

Perseus•This guy’s daughter married Zeuz and had Perseus. An oracle told that Perseus would overthrow his grandpa, so his grandpa put Perseus and his mom in a trunk and threw them into the sea. SOMEHOW, they landed on and island. The king got mad at Perseus, so he told Perseus to go kill Medusa. When Perseus actually succeded, he turned the king into stone... With Medusa’s head. Then Dionysus killed Perseus (idk why).
