Class Blog # 4 Bit More Progress

Today is class we made some more progress. We went over our Greek word work. Though some of the people didn’t do it, a good majority did do it. The first word was Arete which meant one with a sense of character and such. The second word was polis which was like the first democracy which would change time forever. We also talked about a man named Socrates, he was a very-well known philosopher. He came up with different theories like the sun was a body in the sky not apollo on his cherriot. For his theories he was put to death for his theories. His death was caused by a poison called Hemlock. The next topic was the year 508 BC, this time was when all the revolutions started. Another word was agora, it was where people voted and did anything for the government. Last but not least was that Idiot in ancient greece meant people who didn't take advantage of their democratic system, they thought they were too good for it. So class today was a giant review for our other homework on the weekend.
