Ancient Greece continued continued

Today was a rather bland Honors Western Civilization class. We continued with the 48 slide Google Slides on Ancient Greece and completed our note taking on pages 118-126. Here are some of the notes that I took today:
-fertile valleys cover 1/4 of Greece
-diet consists of grains, grapes, olives, and FISH!
-lack of resources most likely led to Greek colonization
-Mycenae is located on a rocky ridge on Peloponnesus, protected by a 20 foot thick wall
TROJAN WAR NOTES:
-Greeks have fought in many wars over time
-Trojan War- fought in 12th or 13th century BCE
-part of Greek Mythology
-believed to be fictional because of gods and goddesses until the 19th century excavations
-the goddesses Athena, Aphrodite, and Hera were given the "apple of discord"
-Paris judged Aphrodite as "the fairest"
-Aphrodite made Helen fall in love with Paris who took her back to Troy
-The Greeks developed myths about their gods
After taking these notes the bell rang and ended class.

Test

Today in Honor's Western Civilization we took an Ancient Rome test. In my luck the test was open blog, our very first one all year long.

However, I think I still did pretty well on it. I did well on the other questions about the Punic Wars and the government of Rome. I still found it interesting taking the test and seeing how similar America's government is to that of Ancient Rome's. After we were done taking the test the bell rang and ended class.
