Ancient Greece Intro

            In class today we went over the Persian War again. We learned about how Athens was the capitol and largest city in Greece and how Spartans were one of the most feared military forces in world history. We learned about different wars like the Persian wars and the Peloponnesia war. After that, we learned about all of the famous people in Greece and Sparta and what roles they played for their country. The subject I found most interesting was the bridge of Hellespont. I thought this was so interesting because of the Phoenician’s lack of technology, but ability to build such a unique and useful invention of a bridge made out of boats tied together with one inch thick ropes. I think that Ancient Greece, just like Ancient Egypt, is very interesting and I am excited to learn about it!
