Special events in Greece


In Greece we can find some especial events, one of the main ones and good things that Greece leave us were their great inventors, for example those that began with the concepts of the atom. These were the firstimportant thing, another example and something more characteristic of old Greece were even their triangular temples with great pillars and ceilings. We are going to speak about the great things that left us the inventors of Greece.

Firstly one of the important things that the inventors contributed to us is the architecture, they leave two styles of construction which are modern and postmodern, that we are using today and we can find that in their great constructions like the temples, another pro is that we can stand out with these constructions is the innovating way to construct by its resistance and durability.

Secondly one cons was the long time that was delayed constructing this type of edifications as they were it at that time, of that big size and with those types of forms that they have to do this type of construction.

All in all this type of contributions that they gave us is more positive than negative since they gave us the form to construct great edifications by his excellent bases.

The sports of Greek


The sports were an excellent, important and popular part of life in ancient Greece. The most important thing is that the sports and the Olympic Games have use today around the world. In this essay I am going to show causes and effects of the sports of Greek.

Firstly Ancient Greeks believed that the gods gave athletes their courage. Every set of sporting games was dedicated to their god. The sports in Greek was created around 3000 years, was created thinking in god and to win cash and slaves, that was really funny to the rich people in this period of time.

On the other hand today not only in ancient Greece play Olympic Games, today around the world all people see and is present in the Olympic Games. We know that the Olympic Games was played there in this period because we have prove and the antecedents of this entertainment games.

In conclusion the sports in my opinion is a really good thing that we have since 3000 years until now it is impressive and we have to leave probes about our things because probably the new people want to know about us and probably they use our ideas.

Culture

Philosophy
Greek philosophy focused on the role of
reason and inquiry. In many ways, it had an important influence on modern philosophy, as well as modern science. Clear unbroken lines of influence lead from ancient Greek and Hellenistic philosophers, to medieval Muslim philosophers and scientists, to the European Renaissance and Enlightenment, to the secular sciences of the modern day.
Neither reason nor inquiry began with the Greeks. Defining the difference between the Greek quest for knowledge and the quests of the elder
civilizations, such as the ancient Egyptians and Babylonians, has long been a topic of study by theorists of civilization.
Literature
Alfred North Whitehead once claimed that all of philosophy is but a footnote to Plato. To suggest that all of Western literature is no more than a footnote to the writings of ancient Greece is an exaggeration, but it is nevertheless true that the Greek world of thought was so far-ranging that there is scarcely an idea discussed today not already debated by the ancient writers.
Religion and mythology
Greek mythology consists of stories belonging to the Ancient Greeks concerning their
gods and heroes, the nature of the world and the origins and significance of their religious practices. The main Greek gods were the twelve Olympians, Zeus, his wife Hera, Poseidon, Ares, Hermes, Hephaestus, Aphrodite, Athena, Apollo, Artemis, Demeter, and Hestia. Other important deities included Hebe, Helios, Hades, Dionysus, Persephone and Heracles (a demi-god). Zeus' parents were Kronos and Rhea who also were the parents of Poseidon, Hades, Hera, Hestia, and Demeter.
