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.
Toady in class instead of reviewing the test we read and took notes on the next three sections. The first section was on the Rise of Christianity and talked about how Jesus' teachings spread. The most important reason they spread was because his teachings brought salvation to all. Christianity was a vision that a Roman emperor had before he went into battle. They won the battle and he made it so Christians would no longer be persecuted.
