Reflection On Ancient Greece

Whilst studying about ancient Greece I learned three important things that made ancient Greece a time period to remember. Firstly, the way the people were split. The Spartans were more of the physical people. They would go to military school at early ages and even the women were made to be physically well brought up. On the other hand, Athenians were the intellectual types. They focused more on democracy, feelings and literature. They  gave us the first glimpse of drama, government and writing. Secondly, the culture made it very important. The ancient Greeks developed a very sophisticated culture. They included all sorts of gods and were very religious people. They sacrificed things and held huge events such as the Olympics which are still held today! With their culture they made themselves remembered. Thirdly, the leaders that led ancient Greece. From Pericles to Alexander the Great, all these leaders made Athens stronger. They enforced either democracy, art or military which made the ancient Greeks very strong people. In conclusion, I enjoyed studying ancient Greece because I learned about how their people were split, how their culture arose and who led them. Thanks to those three things, ancient Greece will always be remembered.
