Yesterday in class we took our test on Ancient Greece. I studied really hard and I hoped it payed off. I only struggled with a few questions but other than that I think I did pretty well. We also took notes from the notebook.
- Direct democracy- A form of government in which citizens rule directly and not through representatives
- Classics art- values of harmony, order, balance, and proportion became the standard
- Tragedy- A serious drama about common themes such as love, hate, war, or betrayal
- Comedy- slapstick situations and crude humor
- Peloponnesion War- A war lasting from 431 - 404 BC in which Athens and it’s allies were defeated by Sparta and its allies
- Philosophers - “ lovers of wisdom”
- Socrates- Believed that absolute standards did exist for truth and justice
- Plato- student of Socrates, wrote down the conversation of Socrates “ as a means of philosophical investigation”
- Aristotle- questioned the nature of the world and of human belief, thought, and knowledge
