2) his goals were to strengthen Athens, Strengthen the Empire, and to Glorify Athens. I would say the greatest impact was to glorify Athens. A lot of countries not only care about being strong and secure, but nowadays counties want to seem like the best and have the glory.

3) Pericles helps strengthen Athens by using direct democracy to increase the number of public officials that were paid high salaries.

4) Sparta's strategy was to control Athens on the land because their army was stronger, They marched into Athens, burning everything and taking control of everyone.

Today in class we took a quiz-test on Greece. On the test there were topics of the geography of it to questions about the allegory of the cave to question about specific dates or broader time periods having got do with leaders and other people. In my opinion, the quiz-test was pretty hard which isn't good because my grade in this class isn't very good.

today in class we talked about Hippias. He was a tyrant and ruled very harshly. As he was ostracized out of Athens he became very angry. He went to the Persians and told them how to invade Athens. There was another case of this when there was two leaders running to rule and one of them didn't win, he was then ostracized and removed out of Athens.

Today in class we continued to take notes on Greece and different parts of Greece. We talked about Mycenae and the epics of homer. Since homer was during the dark ages we don't really know if he was a real person or just part of the whole big thing of telling stories. The epic of his we talked about was the odyssey which is about the god who is on an adventure and Poseidon keeps knocking him off his course. I do think homer was real because I think that there can be a person that great.
