Greece: A Marbleous Civilization
By Maya Houser
We've Got It All
From superior military tactics to new political structures, Ancient Greece has it all. Most city-states have aristocratic assemblies in charge of government, such as Sparta. Cornith has an oligiarchy, where a few powerful people were in charge of the government. The world's first democracy began in Athens, giving many people a say in politics. Our economy flourishes through the practice of agriculture, trade, slavery (hetlots), and even the manufacturing of luxury goods. There is truly something for everyone here in Ancient Greece.

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit." -Aristotle
Greek Culture
Religion
With a large pantheon of Gods and Goddesses, religion is an important aspect of our daily lives. There are 12 main gods. Zeus is the father god. Zeus is the god of the sky. Poseidon, the god pictured, is the brother of Zeus and he is the god of the Sea. Hades is the third brother of the trio, and he is the god of the Underworld. Religion is incorporated into politics, art, literature, and everyday activities. Story-telling almost always uses religious ideas. Stories are like "soap operas on a superhuman scale"- very intriguing and certainly dramatic.
