Quiz Tomorrow on this movie!!!

     Today we finished up the movie. We learned some final things like how Greece was destroyed. Pericles was the leader that brought Greece into the Golden age. He did many things that allowed them to advance. He built the famous Greek Parthenon. It was made from 20,000 tons of marble and it cost about 5000 talons to build or 1 billion dollars. It took about 15 years to build. It was the most glorious symbol of athens and displayed their power and glory on the acropolis. Also on this the normal people were glorified on the Freizi and were chiseled into it. Also Pericles was an aristocrat unlike Themisticles. He also had a "escore" Esposia who was a smart beauitful woman. She helped make decisions with Pericles and was one woman who was almost treated equally. This made some people angry. Also the first theaters were built in Greece and contained mainly comedies and tradgedies. Tradgedies would display a hero having his weakness exploited and falling. Finally Pericles had hubris or arrogance. He wanted to be the most powerful city in greece so he wanted to beat the Spartans. He would retratd and beat them from the sea.
