The Parthenon- This was a building that was dedicated to the goddess Athena, who the citizens saw as their patron. An interesting fact that I found about it is  Its decorative sculptures are considered some of the high points of Greek art. Which is cool because if this was a high point of greek art that means you know it was very good because of all the other beautiful things they had. Also, it was known as one of the ancient symbols that represented Greece in it's past and still today. The Parthenon was built in place of an even older building of Athena. This really shows how much Athena meant to them and the impact she had on them. Heres a picture of the parthenon.















Greek Theatre- This was very important thing back then because this is where everyone went to enjoy themselves and have a good time. All of the actors and actresses were very talented. They usually only preformed comedy and tragedy. These theaters would huge and they were outside so they had very good scenery along with the play. These theaters were just an overall great place to be with your family. They were said that no one really every disliked any of the plays and usually everyone that went once always wanted to go back.

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
