Notes
The Olympics were in 776 B.C. and the sports were discus, wrestling and boxing.
In war they had formations like the phallanx that was formed by Greek soldiers called Hoplites.
Greece's biggest rival was the Persians who they fought at Marathon, Gaugamela, Thermopoly and Issus.
They did not fight the Peloponnesian war against the Persians, they fought that against the Spartans when Pericles was in rule. Sparta won and the people first rose up against their ruler in 508 B.C.
Homer was a blind poet who told of the Illyad and the Odyssey which were probably sung. There were 3 types of columns, Doric, Ionic and Corinthian.
The Parthenon was built during the Golden Age of Athens when Pericles was in rule it had Doric columns and a statue of Athena.
When Pericles took over he wanted 3 things for Athens which was to make Athens the greatest city, strengthen Greek Democracy, and expand the empire. They discussed their ideas in the agora.
They made pottery which was used for wine, storage and perfume.
Euclid was the pioneer of Geometry. Archimedes invented the pully system and made the law of displacement. Three Great Philosophers were Plato, Socrates and Aristotle.

Alexander the Great
His dad was Philip II and his mom was Olympia. His mom told him that his real father was the Greek God Acilies. By the age of 20 he was already fighting and try to take over the world. In the beginning of the movie there was a scene about how Alexander picked out his horse Eucepehalus and the horse would only let Alexander ride him. The Gaugalela war was very bloody and gross. Before the war started the cut up a bull and went through there guts so they could "predict" who was going to win the war. In the end Darius, alexanders enemy, won even though they were very out numbered. Alexander went through life without ever loosing one battle. Birds of pray would always appear when something monumental happened in Alexanders life. After the war Alexander was the king of Persian Empire and he was loved by all. He welcomed in people who he concord to his Empire. The king Darius was betrayed by his commanders. Alexander then hunted down those commanders and got revenge on all of them and punished them. He had 10 cities named after himself. We then skipped to a part where he is in Hindu Kush where he marched into the "unknown" but he said it was the route to the end of the world. The problem for Alexander was that he wanted to concur the world. He thought that when he went over the Himalayans that there would be the ocean and there would be the end. After it was hard to get over the Himalayans he tried to concur India but his men cant take it anymore and have had enough. After he would not take his army home he was no longer loved by all. The still fight in India and that is where his horse is killed form underneath him.
