Greece

Greece is covered with mountains (3/4) and islands (1400). Greece has many shipbuilders and skilled sailors, this made it possible for them to trade better than other countries. They also had limited natural resources due to the mountains so they traded a lot and did it well. Only 20% to be exact is suitable land for farming. They grew grains, grapes and olives. Olives were great to grow because you could use them in many different ways. Mycenaeans is located on a rocky ridge with a 20 foot wall protecting it, they influenced around 2000 BCE and started to control trade in the reign. Then the "Sea People" came and trading collapsed in Greece and so did writing for 400 years. Lastly Homer, Homer told stories during the "Greek Dark Ages". An example of two of the books are The Odessy and The lliad. 

Cyber Day Assignment

SOCRATES 

Socrates was a Greek philosopher, he is one of the founders of Western Philosophy. Socrates was born in Athens around 470 BC and died in 399 BC. Socrates used the Socratic method as his approach, this concept was asking questions and by doing so you'll find your answer in those reposes. This method was designed to examine your beliefs. People accused Socrates of teaching the young of Athens and disrespecting the Gods. They sentenced him to death by poison (hemlock). One of Socrates famous quotes says "The unexamined life is not worth living" he says this because he wanted to teach people things that they did not know and by doing that he was killed.      

Cyber Day talk

Today in class we talked about cyber days and what is expected of us when we are not in school. We should be doing 45 min of work at home for each class that we have that day, the work is supposed to be turned in the next class and should be a graded assignment. Since we probably will not have school tomorrow, our class will not have a cyber day because we do not meet.

Greece
Located: in Southern Europe, on the Eastern edge of the Mediterranean Sea
Topography: Greece is made up of mostly mountains and islands, the most important range is the Pindus. This range is 8,700 ft in elevation.
Surrounding: Albania, FYROM, Bulgaria, Turkey, and the Mediterranean Sea
        All of this affected Greece's culture in many ways. First since most of the island was mountains, your space was limited to grow crops. Second, having the Mediterranean Sea available to them it was easy to transport goods.
