Today in West Civ we presented our power points to the class and from everyone else's project I learned a lot. I learned that Homer was a blind poet storyteller and he wrote from 700-800 BCE. Homer died in 701 BCE, there is a myth saying he died in a river and there is a mystery if he even lived or not. I also learned a lot about architecture in Ancient Greece, Greek life centered around religion. Frieze is a long, narrow band of sculpture that runs along most temples. The erechtheum was built between 421 CE, there are 3 types of dorics. Corinthian can be found more on important temples. Black figure pottery was produced in 700 BCE. Thespis was the first Greek actor and originator of tragedy plays. Socrates was born in 469 BCE, and died in 399 BCE. He is not famous for any writing but he is a well known Philosopher.
