PRESENTATION OUTLINE

GREEK TIME CAPSULE

BY LIAM DAVIS TEMPLE

TRIREMES

  • A 115 foot long ship
  • Had a long narrow deck
  • So soldiers could run and fight along it
  • 170 men were needed to row
  • I would save it because it was important for Greek conquests

DELPHI STADIUM

  • High up on a hill
  • Held 6,500 people
  • The track was 550ft long and 25.5m wide
  • I would save it because it allowed people to come together
  • And strengthen their common bonds through competition

ANCIENT OLYMPICS

  • People competed in different sporting events
  • Only free men could compete
  • They also had to speak Greek
  • I would save it because it gave everyone the chance to be a hero
  • It also allowed everyone a chance to put their town on the map

PYTHAGORAS OF SAMOS

  • A mathematician and philosopher
  • Known for the Pythagorean theorem
  • The first to believe that the earth was spherical
  • I would save him because he should be recognized for his achievements
  • And so people could see just because an idea is abstract doesn't mean it's wrong

THE WOODEN HORSE

  • A fake horse that could have people in it
  • Greeks would leave it to seem like they surrendered
  • The enemy would take it in their city, at night the soldiers would come out
  • to open the gates of the city as the Greeks returned and attacked the city
  • I would save it to remind people of the importance of creativity

PHEIDIPPIES

  • Ran 2days straight from Athens to Sparta
  • Then fought in a battle
  • The ran 26 miles back to Athens
  • Told people that they won and died
  • I'd save him to show how hard people will work.

ATHENS POLITICAL SYSTEM

  • Any free Greek-born man could serve on the council
  • It was randomly chosen
  • They were year long councils
  • I would save it so we could remember the first democracy
  • Also because it gives everyone a chance to make a difference

PERSEUS

  • Fictional hero
  • Beat medusa who he couldn't look at without dying
  • Used a mirror to defeat her
  • I would save him so people could learn from him
  • Not enough people think they just act
