We watched part of what we watched Friday. Here is what we watcher (same thing as Friday):
- Pericles wanted all the money to make Athens the best city ever
- wanted a new temple for the goddess, Athena called the Parthenon
- building complete in 15 years
- one of the most glorious symbol of Athens empire
- 40 foot statue of Athena when you walked in
- gold, jewels all over it
- a billion dollar work in modern day money
- frieze- most famous, a craving around the Parthenon
- 2 inches thick around; where regular people- the farmers, people of the war
- Aspasia is someone Pericles was with even though he was married
- Pericles treated Aspasia as an equal
- world first theater- where entertainment came from
- it was very loud- they would boo and drive the actors off the stage if they didn't like the play
- They cried if they liked it
- Greeks invented drama- tragedies and comedy
- Had a play twice a year
- Pericles wanted glory, but he would bring death and the loss of their empire
- Pericles wants to go to war with their oldest enemy, Sparta
- Sparta maxed Athens in power
- Sparta were the only Greek country to max them in power
- Pericles knew it wasn't going to be an easy war
- He convinced them to leave their homes and go to Piraeus, their port
- They will use the sea and isolate them from their supplies till they give up
