Ancient Greeks words
During class today, we talked about our homework from last night. Our homework from last night was the definitions on the Greek words you have gave us. Well in class we only went over six of the eight words since we ran out of time. Our first word was Agora. Agora was a voting area to discuss and meet about the town. The voting area was usually only men that voted. Women didn't have the right to vote yet during this time. Our next word was Polis. Polis was a city state in Greece where the people that lived there voted on many things like the road, buildings, ext. Our next word was 508 BC. During the time 508 BC, this was a special time for Greece because this was when the common people in Greece over powered their tyranny that time. This was special because this was the first time ever in history that the common people over powered their tyranny or king. Our next word was Socrates. Socrates was a Greek philosopher. He was also a teacher. Socrates was also not very attractive. When him and his friends had a discussion about who was the most attractive, Socrates said himself. He said himself because he said that with his big eyes that popped out, he was able to see more things than they could and also his nostrils were big so that means he could smell things better than they all could. Our last word was the death of Socrates. The death of Socrates was that Socrates himself was forced to drink Hemlock because his town decided he was guilty.
