Today in class we finished up the powerpoint with philosophers of Greece. The three main philosophers we focused on were Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle. Socrates is one of the most famous Greek philosophers and one of the first. He challenged the people of Athens to think critically. he started to question the credibility of the Greek Gods which is against Athenian law and he was sentenced to death despite being well respected. Plato was one of Socrates' (I also put the apostrophe at the end) pupils. After his death he became very popular with his two most famous books Republic and Apology. Aristotle was one of Plato's students and he would go on to teach Alexander the Great and create a school. He wanted to unify Athens as a intellectual destination.
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.
