So yesterday we learned about GODS & GODDESSES. I wished we went over more stuff though because the class was pretty short and this is pretty much the main thing I know about Ancient Greece.

Here are some Gods that we went over:

Zeus - King of the Gods; God of lightning, thunder, law, order, and justice; Ruler of Heaven and Earth
  • when he's mad, he hurls lightning bolts from the sky

Poseidon - God of the Sea, rivers, floods, and Earthquakes
  • doesn't like Odysseus

Aphrodite - Goddess of love, beauty, desire, sexuality
  • Had lovers of both Gods and mortal men
  • Her lovers included: Ares (God of War), Adonis (demi-god of desire), and Anchises (a mortal who fathered a baby)

Today we learned about Greek War Tactics and The Persians


  •
    • Greeks were certainly a warlike people - especially the Spartans
    • Spartans were known for their tough, ruthless infantry: soldiers who fought on land
    • Spartan boys trained from the time they were seven

Matteo Scotto 4/18/20 Living in a time of crisis changes certain people but not everyone. People that rely on social interaction are having a harder time than people that would prefer to stay home by themselves. I do think most people will cheat, but with certain questions, you really can’t. For instance, you can’t cheat with this assignment because it asks for your specific thoughts on the matter. I think with schedules it is harder for students to do work because we have to be online whenever our teachers want us to be online. It used to be that the teachers were on our schedule, but now we have to be on their schedules, ready to take the assignments. I believe the workload is becoming heavier than it used to be because the teachers are trying harder to help their students with teaching, and so they have to give more assignments since they can’t give lectures.

Matteo Scotto 4/16/20 1) How did Plato define The Forms? Plato defined them as the ideal versions of the things and concepts we see around us. 2) Who are the three groups in Plato’s ideal society? Producers, Military, and Leaders. 3) What were Plato’s thoughts on women? Plato was inconsistent with his thoughts on women. He thought they were equally able to rule but also thought they were similar to children and their womb was an alive animal that would move around the body and cause illness. 4) What was the Noble Lie that Plato proposed? The Noble Lie that Plato proposed was that we're all is born with gold, silver, or a mixture of brass and iron in our souls. This would determine our roles in life.
