Today in class we watched a video on ancient Greece. These are some of the notes I took in class. The Greek region was known as Hellinus by the Greeks. When Cleithenes was still a child Athens was a mere village not a great city state. As a child Cleithenes looked up to the stories of the Iliad and the Odyssey. Before Cleithenes rule Pycitrotis came to power by faking that he had the will of the God Athena by using a tall and beautiful woman as a fake. Pycitrotis established lower taxes and a free loan system which boosted economy. Athens wealth and economy skyrocketed making it a large city state. After Pycitrotis' death Hippias took over. He became bitter and gave ittle rights to the people. This led to the first uprising of the people ever in 508 BC. Cleithenes then became ruler over Athens.
Today we got a lot accomplished. First we reviewed all of Rome by listening to a very well done rap made by Mr.Schick. After that we got very far in the power point. We started with how the common folk were given free bread as a sort of welfare. Then we took notes on the Colosseum and Circus Maxims which I have been to. We moved onto Julius Caesar and his conquering of Gaul and the Rubicon and how Pompey became jealous. We finished with his murder by the senate. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1zEi9xi3gni-iKd7UYUX41NRYB2V-qjsz9PyaU5awrp0/edit?usp=sharing
