Today we watched videos about ancient Geek history. All of the Athenians were behind the Athens walls and the plague was introduced to Athens. All of the Athenians were very close together causing the disease to spread rapidly. All of the citizens were suffering terribly and it was described to be beyond what a human could take. Everyone was going crazy because they had to be worried about getting the disease and trying to stay safe from attacks. While this sickness was terrorizing them they just stopped following all of the rules and the customs.The city  turned to evil after all of this because everyone turned evil and were terrorizing their own city. The plague killed over a third of Athen's population.  Pericles didn't think this could happen and was no where near prepared, which led to the city becoming even worse because he didn't know what tp do and everyone was looking up to him. So when he ended up getting sick he gave up all hope, which led to his death in 429 B.C. He died after 6 months of straight suffering, he tried relying on "magic potions" that never did anything for him to help cure the sickness.

He even signaled the beginning of a new era in history known as the Hellenistic Age.  Which was crazy how one person could bring a whole new era in history. In his 15 years of conquest Alexander never lost a single battle wh

I don't really know many things about this topic but just based off reading what mr. schick had to say along with doing some of the research I found out I came to find out how pure their relationship really was. First I saw that he got this horse off a wager with his Dad. The cost of the horse was 13 talents. Which is equal to almost 182,000 U.S dollars now which is crazy. The horse passed away in 326 B.C. and most people agreed the horse died from old age not from battle wounds but no one really knows this for sure. Also from what I read it seemed like this horse was his best friend, sometimes in life you have a animal that you feel like is better then most humans in the world and this is how he felt. This horse went into battle with him, they rode around for fun, when your animal is around you this much and you are always having fun with it, it is hard not to get attached to it like this so I think this is the reason they were so close because they were always doing everything to
