Ancient Greece notes
Today in Honor's Western Civilization some people had to make up the test, so the people already finished took notes from our text book. Here are the notes that I took today:
-Plato- a student of Socrates and writer of the Republic
-in his ideal society all citizens would fall naturally into 3 groups: farmers and artisans, warriors, and the ruling class
-the person who was the smartest from the ruling class was chosen as philosopher-king
Aristotle- questioned the nature of the world, human belief, thought, and knowledge.
-worked in psychology, physics, and biology
- tutored King Philip II's son Alexander
-a major branch of Greek art was sculpture
-the most important type of building was the temple
Nike of Samothrace- statue of Nike the goddess of victory to honor a sea battle
Red and Black Pottery- pottery that had a unique design of Greek Mythology
The Parthenon- a notorious Greek temple built to honor Athena
Dramatic Masks and Theater- Greeks wrote comedies and tragedies for entertainment. Actors wore masks that exaggerated human expressions. Plays were performed outside in a semicircular setting area fitted into a hillside
