Power point on Greece

Today in class we continued on with the Introduction to Ancient Greece PowerPoint and we learned some very interesting facts like the ancient Greeks main diet contained grain, grapes, olives, and fish. As a result of this diet, the Ancient Greeks were very very healthy. We found out that the ancient Geeks were very active and competitive as well. We talked about the temperatures in ancient Greece, summer they were in the low 80s and winter they were in the high 40s, so all around good weather. We talked about the Trojan war today, like how the war was fought over many years and that historians thought that the war was fictional until the 19 century because of in the books Greek gods fought in the war alongside the humans. We also talked about Homer the bard, he wrote two great epics called Iliad and Odyssey. He also lived at the end of the dark ages.
