Greek jewelry was, in my opinion, very beautiful. The Greeks
used agate, pearl, opal, gold, garnet, and amethyst in their
priceless jewels. They also used gems to make wax seals for
scrolls, scripts, letters, and much more. The Greek jewelry made a
nice edition to many togas that the people of ancient Greece
wore.
Slide 20
Greek clothing consisted of the average toga and sandals. They
were fairly easy to get on. Greek togas had to be folded in half,
with a hole in the center of the top. You would stick your head in
the hole and hold your arms out with the rest. Then you would pull
the fabric under your arms to your body, and hold it on with a long
piece of thread or string. The sandals were lace up, with nothing
covering your bare foot except for the bottom, or sole, of the
sandal.
Slide 21
Greek culture and religion are very interesting. The main
things in these concepts are the Twelve Olympians and their myths
on how something happens or what happened before they lived. Some
famous Greek mythological creatures are Pegasus, the satyrs,
Echidna, the gorgons (mainly Medusa), the Harpies, the Minotaur,
the Chimera, the Hydra, Scylla, the Cyclopes, Ladon, and the
Sphinx. Some famous Greek heroes are Heracles, Theseus, Jason, the
Dioscouri, Perseus, Achilles, Odysseus, Atlanta, Orion, Cadmus,
Oedipus, and Orpheus.

Greece is in southeastern Europe, and its peninsula reaches
from the Balkans into the Mediterranean Sea It is very mountainous,
and has many gulfs and bays. Also, forests fill some parts of this
beautiful country. A lot of Greece is suitable for growing wheat,
barley, citrus, dates, and olives.
Slide 24
After the Greek Dark Ages, many things started to happen in
Greece. Cities would band up together in groups and then call
themselves city states. The city states each had their own
government, with their own personalities, goals, laws, and customs.
Each Greek citizen was very loyal to their city state. Some of the
only things city states had in common were their gods and their
language. Five of the most powerful city states were Athens,
Corinth, Sparta, Megara, and Argos.
Slide 25
Ancient Greek art was definitely unique. It was sort of like
Egyptian art in some things because of the sideways people. In
almost all art the Greeks created, there were naked or nearly naked
people. Greek music was used in carnivals, fairs, religious
ceremonies, weddings, holidays, birthdays, or name days. Music and
dance have been in Greek culture for thousands of years. Two of the
most important instruments were the lyre (a plucked string
instrument) and the aulos ( a double-pipe, double- reed
instrument). Greek Music
Slide 26
A few of the many Greek inventions created in the early times
is the Olympic Games, money, maps, thermometers, steam engines,
mathematics, Hippocratic oaths, medicine, theater and music,
Archimedes screw, astronomy, umbrellas, alarm clocks, ships, and
weapons. Note: some of these things were already made before the
Greeks, but they still used those items and principles. Some famous
Greek scientists are Thales of Miletus, Democcritus of Abdera,
Hippocrates of Cos, Aristotle of Stagira, Euclid, Aristarchus of
Samos, Archimedes of Syracuse, Eratosthenes of Cyrene, Hipparchus
of Nicaea, Strabo of Amasia, Ptolemy of Alexandria, and Galen of
Pergamon.
Slide 27
Traders, tourists, and civilians were all involved in Greek
trade and commerce. Many traders were Greek, but other countries
people also traded. The Greeks welcomed the ships into their ports.
Greek travel and commerce organizations were in countries like
Syria, Persia, Arabia, Egypt, and India, as well as North Africa
and eastern Mediterranean. Some of the lead trading cities were
Alexandria, Byzantium, Rhodes, Ephesus, and Miletus. Two famous
Greek merchants are Aristeas of Proconnesus and Pytheas of
Massilia. Some items the ancient Greeks traded were wine, olive
oil, luxury items, precious metals, grains, timber, Iron, oil,
silver, olives, spices, gold flax, and copper.
