Describe what a spectator would enjoy at the five-day olympics
Describe What a Spectator Would Enjoy in the 5 Day Olympics It is thought that the first Olympic Games were held in 776BC in Olympia, and were continued every 4 years until 393AD, when the king Theodosius I terminated them as part of his battle to enforce Christianity as the state religion. The historic origins of the games aren't fully known, however, many myths exist to explain them. There are four main legends: one involving Pelops and his fight to win the Olympic kingdom; another explains how Heracles won a race at Olympia and vowed the games should forever continue at 4 year intervals; the next claims that Zeus created the games as a celebration of his defeat of the Titan Cronus; and the last told of a prophetess who advised King Iphitos of Elis to hold the Olympic games in honour of the Gods. This he did, and was also advised that wars should stop during the 5 day festival as a sign of respect to the Gods. The games themselves were a collection of athletic, combat and equestrian events usually held at the hottest time of the year, which coincided with the lull in agriculture. They were attended by many because of the celebration of religion as well as sport, as athletic ability was said to be a gift from the Gods, and because everyone was guaranteed a safe journey to and from Olympia. However, for visitors to the games, there were strict regulations to abide by. Only

Section 2 Purpose The purpose of this lab was to verify the certainty of a range of measuring devices, and to correctly establish the number of significant figures to record the measurements as well as to calculate them. Experimental Procedure See the attached experiment. Data See the attached data. Theoretical Section/Discussion of Results Everybody makes and utilizes measurements on a daily basis. Scientists, not excluding, make and use measurements, because it is fundamental to their data. Measurement is how much there is of something that you can quantify.1 Measurements include a number and unit. All measuring instruments are susceptible to a certain amount of uncertainty. Uncertainty is accounted by instrument design and can be best defined as the degree of variability in the observations.2 In a measurement, estimation is always done to one more place value than what is already calibrated on the instrument. Usually, the more calibrated it is, the more numbers an instrument will allow to be recorded, which means the more certain the value is. In every lab, it is every scientist's goal to generate measurements that are both correct and reproducible. Being correct and able to reproduce similar measurements can be
"What qualities does Odysseus display in books 9-12
"What qualities does Odysseus display in books 9-12?" Books 9-12 deal with Odysseus' wanderings. Many commentators of The Odyssey see Odysseus' wanderings as a series of trials or tests through which he would attain a certain level of wisdom and prepares to be a good leader. In book 9, Odysseus shows good judgement in his encounter with the lotus-eaters. The lotus-eaters have no intention in killing Odysseus and his men. The danger is the lotus and the forgetfulness it causes. Odysseus' judgement prevails and he manages to get his men back to sea too many are seduced by the lotus that wipes out ambition and memory. Then they landed on the land of the Cyclops, who have no laws and regard for the gods. It is during this episode that Odysseus' judgement comes into question. Having feasted on goat meat, Odysseus and his men could move on. However, Odysseus is curious about who lives on the mainland. Taking twelve of his best men, as well as a skin of extremely strong wine he received from a priest of Apollo, he sets out to explore a cave near the shore. Discovering abundant food in the cave, Odysseus' men want to raid it and sail off, but Odysseus insists on staying and enjoy the hospitality of the host. When Polyphemus returned, Odysseus found out he has no regard for hospitality. Polyphemus devoured two of Odysseus' men for supper and trapping the rest inside his for latter

Ancient Greek houses
Classical Civilization Essay On Ancient Greek Houses Part A A typical Greek house was a lot different to our houses today. The actual walls of the house were made from sunbaked bricks which were built on stone foundations; some houses even had a second storey. Roofs were made of tiles and windows were only a square hole with no glass, often rather high up. The windows were built high to avoid dust getting into the house on very dry, hot days. There were usually wooden shutters on the windows. The floors in the houses were sometimes made of mosaics, but in poorer households the floors were just beaten earth. Most of the houses in towns were built very close together with a narrow ally way between them. The ally was also used by the household slaves as a place to throw their rubbish. The house was often built around a courtyard. The courtyard had an alter in it which the family would gather round to pray to the gods. The prayers were led by the kyrios (head male of the household). The courtyard may also have held a statue of the god Zeuse and a well for getting water. If the house did not have a well a slave would have to have gone to the local fountain to collect water. The storerooms in the house had access to the street and the room was sunken into the ground. The room was sunken in because it made it cooler, so in the hot summer months it acted as a refrigerator
Plot Summary - Anitgone
Etocles and Polyneices, brothers, have killed each other over their lust to be king of Thebes. Their uncle Creon is the new king. It is his opinion that Polyneices is a traitor and should be shamed by leaving him unburied. Etocles however, is seen as a valiant nephew and will be given a burial ceremony. The play opens with a distressed Antigone appealing to her sister, Ismene, to help her bury Polyneices. Ismene however does not wish to disobey her uncle as this was treachery of the highest order in ancient Greece. However, it was also a family's obligation to bury relatives who had passed away. The burial of the dead was a requisite to enable a peaceful afterlife of the recently deceased. Any unburied dead would be shamed and their souls would not rest. Evidently, this puts Ismene in a difficult situation of choosing what to do. Ismene would like to bury her brother but is too afraid of disobeying her uncle, the King. Ismene is worried about what might happen to Antigone. She advises her not to bury their brother as Creon has said that Polyneices be shamed. The rebellious Antigone is undeterred by her sister's advice and leaves upset that her sister will not join her. The Chorus enter playing the roles of the Council Elders. The Council Elders were the voices of normal people from the city. The Elders had an influence on the King and his running of the city. The Chorus

Fishbourne Palace: A History
Fishbourne Palace Some villas were virtual palaces in their size and complexity. In 1960, a workman was laying a new water main at Fishbourne in Sussex when he unearthed some pottery. Realising he may have found something significant, he reported the find to his superiors. In turn, they contacted the British Museum and an archaeological team began excavating the site. As they dug, a building began to surface. The more they uncovered, the more they realised this was a huge building. Eventually, they brought the remains of Fishbourne Palace to the surface. This was the biggest single building ever found in Britain, covering an area the size of Buckingham Palace in London. This was no ordinary home, it had been built around 80-90AD by someone who was obviously a person of authority. But who did this belong to? After many years of research it is generally agreed the owner was King Cogidubnus of the Regni tribe. He was a firm supporter of the Romans and aided them in their conquest of Britain. He was the successor to Verica, who was at war with the Catuvellauni before the Roman invasion. It was Verica who approached the Roman emperor with a plea for assistance to fight off the scourge of the Catuvellauni as they were steadily taking over the whole of South-East England. When the Romans did invade in 43AD. the Regni gave help to the Roman military by allowing them to use

(4) You need 4 points to get the 4 marks available or two well explained points The four main aims of the League of Nations were to encourage disarmament, to discourage aggression from any nation, to improve living and working conditions in all parts of the world and to encourage more countries to co-operate, especially in business and trade. As you see this pupil has clearly noted 4 aims and so gets 4 marks b) Why did some countries not join the League when it was set up in 1919? (6) For this answer 3 well explained reasons are required Some countries did not join the League of Nations when it was set up for many reasons. The USSR did not join because it simply wasn't allowed to as it had recently had a communist revolution, so the League, who hated communism, had felt it unnecessary for the USSR to join. Germany weren't allowed to join for obvious reasons - the League was founded in order to discourage aggression and encourage peace. Only peace-loving countries were allowed to join the League and Germany had not yet shown it was a peace-loving country. They had supposedly been the ones to start World War One and so, in the League's opinion, hadn't proved they were a peace-loving country The USA didn't join the League of Nations as, even though Woodrow Wilson (the
Is Medea Repellent?
Is Medea Repellent? For what reasons would a modern or Greek audience find Medea so 'repellent'? - Do we find her repellent because of her quality of rage? - Her behaviors are extreme, as are her emotions. She is described as "wild with love" "wild with love" - Her sacrifice of everything for the love of one man could be considered unreasonable by some. Therefore, for these people it may also be impossible to understand the quality and quantity of her rage against him. "Jason was my whole life" " Her world has turned to enmity, and wounds her where her affection is deepest" "It has crushed my heart" - The Greeks were very interested in extremes of emotions. They enjoyed seeing the consequences of letting these emotions go unchecked and unguarded. - "Medea is an example of passion carried too far, she chooses revenge over mercy and reason" - Do people find this need for revenge a repelling characteristic in Medea? - Some would argue that the appeal of revenge is what makes Medea so popular. Because, while no one has ever felt such a strong sense of rage and a such a need for the extreme types of revenge that Medea turns to we can all sympathise with her at least to a small degree. - It is her willingness to sacrifice things dearest to her for that one perfect revenge on Jason. - Murder of Children - One could say that the murder of the children (
