Leaders and rulers in ancient Greece

Ancient Greece was made up of different states which were ruled in different ways. Some were ruled by groups of rich and powerful people. Sparta had two kings and a small group of wise old men known as elders. Athens was ruled by the people of athens, voted for by the people, which prevented anyone getting too much power.
None of the states allowed women, foreigners or slaves to take part in government. In the fourth century Alexander the Great became the ruler of all Greece.

The Greeks were often at war with each other or with outside enemies. In early times, warriors used chariots to move round the battlefield. Most battles were fought by foot soldiers with heavy armour and equipment. There were also light armed soldiers like archers, javelin throwers and slingers. Cavalry were sometimes used for sudden attacks and pursuing the defeated enemy. Some states such as Athens and Corinth had very powerful navies (a navies like a ship army).

Here is a gold ring that was probaly worn by a woman.This ring would cost around 5000£ pounds now but in ancient Greece it would only cost about 500.

Clothes in Ancient Greece!

In ancient Greece making cloth was women's work and took a very long time. Not much cloth survives but we know that it was often coloured and decorated with gems,gold and silver. Clothes were made by folding rather than cutting so that no cloth was wasted.
Clothes were shaped and fastened by sewing, pinning or wearing belts. The Greeks made very detailed jewellery without the help of a magnifying glass. Jewellery was mostly worn by women but men might wear a ring or brooch.

Here is a mint condition bronze bowl from ancient Greece as you can see it has very good metalwork the Greeks were known for this because they had very good resources.

Ancient Greec tools and technolagy!

Life in ancient Greece was based mainly on farming but crafts were just as comman such as pottery, weaving, shoe making, tanning, jewellery making, woodworking and metalworking. The Greeks showed that they had a high level of technical skill using simple tools such as the saw, drill, chisel and hammer. They made very good use of heat in metalworking and pottery.
Many people think that the Greeks never developed machinery and other technology because they relied so much on slaves to do their work.

The animals of ancient greece!

Greece is very dry and has lots of mountains. There were wild animals such as boars, foxes, hares and wolves and mountain lions. The commonest animals were goats and sheep, hens, dogs and donkeys. Horses were expensive to keep and a symbol of great wealth. Heavy farm work was done by horses usualy.
Many Greek stories involve monsters which are part animal and part human. The Greeks often used foreign animals in their art.

My ancient Greec Project!


In 510BC a new way of running the government was invented in Athens. Demokratia from which we get our word democracy means rule by the people . Any man with full citizen rights (because women couldnt vote) could go to the assembly where they could speak and vote freely. Public debates like this decided how the city was run.

Athens had law courts with trial by jury. Juries were much bigger than today. With a few hundred members or more. After listening to the evidence jurors voted by
puting metal discs into two jars one for guilty and one for not guilty. Punishments were decided by the court, and some included death.

Women did not have citizen rights. They could not take part in the assembly or vote or serve on juries.
In rich families girls were educated to run the house and to keep slaves happy.

Athens had festivals every year, festivals for athletics, drama and religious occasions. The city paid for these using the tax money but the wealthiest citizens of Athens were obliged to give extra help.
Rich citizens considered it an honour to pay the performers fees in all the drama festivals.

The ancient Greeks believed in many gods and goddesses who influenced all aspects of life. They kept the gods happy with small offerings and by sacrificing animals at great festivals. At festivals the Greeks also held athletics and theatre competitions in honour of the gods.
The Greeks also believed that the gods could answer questions and give advice.

The ancient Greecs were the first people to do the olympics!!!!!!WOW

In Ancient Greece there was a population of over 300,000 slaves that worked day and night for there masters.

Rich families usually had jobs as nurses or teachers.

Household slaves were owned a there own country or other states.

Slaves had special skills to clean up and work really hard. They worked very hard night and day for there owners.

Slaves
from scythia were trained to be archers and joined the police force.

Slaves had partys sometimes and when they did they entertained the quests.

What I've learnt about ancient greece!

Athens was one the largest city in Greece and it was wealthy and powerful. It had fertile valleys which farmers grew there crops in and all around the city there was icy topped mountains.

The city got rich and powerful through its recources such as silver,lead and marble people came from all over the world to buy these valuebels. Lots of people live near the sea because they live of fishing or they work in the navy.

Only men were allowed in the council because they had citezan rights but women were not allowed because they didnt have citezan rights. Lots of people went to see court lots more than we have today,more than 100 members would go to see the penalty. Members would put disks in two jugs one for guilty and one for no guilty and wich ever one had more than 50% of disks the court would chooose. Goverment would choose the penalty all wich include a death sentance afer!!! The goverment used democracy to choose hoe the city was run,demokratia means democracy in ancient Greek.

Some slaves were very skilled and they could work there way out of been slaves . They were skilled usualy at these things nursing,pottery painting and gladiators and eventualy they could buy themselves free!

There is a temple in Greece called the parthenon it was built by a famous general called Perikles
who built it because of the citys fame and fortune. Once the Athenians even built a whole temple out of marble WOW!

The first ever Olympic games was in Athens it was in 776BC the Athenians thought of all the competitans in the Olympics,thats gotta be alot of thinking!

Well any way thats all I can think of right now If I think of any thing else I'll tell you in a comment well BYE!

Which games did I get the most out?

I think it was the equivalent fractions game,fraction monkeys and also match the fractions I'll put them in order of what I learnt the most.

1.Match the fractions
2.Fraction monkeys
and number 3.equivalent fractions

I put these games down because in match the fractions I learnt fractions of shapes and before I played it I wasn't very good but now I'm brill!

for number 2 I put fraction monkeys because I learnt a lot of fractions that I didn't know existed! But now I know every fraction YIPEEEEEE.

And last but not least number 4 I chose equivalent fractions because I learnt wich fractions are the same as each other such as 1/4 = 3/12 do ya know why I know thats right cos I checked it 13 times LOL!!!

And those are the games that I think what I got the most out of yours truley brad da man!

Hi. I'm writing a book review on James and The Giant Peach. This book is a really good book to read if you like fantasy and adventure. This book is about a boy called James who lives with his aunt Sponge and his aunt Spiker. He lives with them because his mum and dad got eaten by a rhino! I bet your thinking how can a rhino eat two adult humans; rhinos are vegertairen. But it was a special kind of rhino that comes when the skys are dark,windy and very very cold so thats why you hardly see them. Anyway lets get on his aunt sponge and Spiker force James to do all there really hard work. But one day a special man apears when James is working I think he was a wizard and gives James a bag of magic things. Like crocodile tounges,monkeys tails and snail slime and then magical things happen to James but I think I'll let you read the rest see you later!

My mate Dave wanted to be a zoo keeper so he went and got a job at a zoo. He went to a meeting with the boss and the boss said that if an animal dies you have to pay for it! That day Dave went to the finch cage and by accident he knocked a finch over and it died, so he checked the book and found that they cost £50 each to replace, so he chucked the dead finch into the lions cage. Then he went to the chimps cage, the two chimps were in a tyre held up by a chain. The tyre fell and the two chimps died, so he checked the book and found that chimps cost £500 to replace so he chucked them into the lions cage. He then said that he was going to take a ride in the tractor, he hit a tree and killed a hive of bees which fell to the floor. He checked the book and found that bees cost £10 to replace so he chucked the dead bees into the lions cage. A new lion came to the zoo and he said "What do you get to eat her?" And another lion said, "Well today i've had finch, chimps and mushy bees!"
