Today in class we reviewed the last section of the Greek chapter on Hellenistic culture. Hellenistic culture formed after Alexander the great's conquests. It mixed Greek, Persian and India cultures. The center of Hellenistic culture was the city of Alexandria. It had many architectural and intellectual attractions. it was also a center for trade. The was a large library and museum where people came to study and exchange ideas.
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.
