Patricians and Plebians

The main differences between Roman Plebians and Patricians are Patricians had power while Plebians had very little power even though they were the bigger group of people. Patricians are considered wealthy upperclass who had rights. Plebians were lower class people who were looked upon as just farmers and merchants. Plebians had few rights to start off. Patricians could own land and helped make laws in Rome. Plebians didn't think it was fair they had no say so they ended up forming their own assembly. The greek versions of Patricians would be Aristocrats the elite in society who held political power The middle class or lower class or even women would be considered Plebians in greek society, since they have little rights and political power in society.

Poem

A long time ago in Greece...

There were gods and goddesses

All mighty and powerful

Ruling the land

Zeus big guy in the sky

Poseidon roars the seas

And Hades lurks the underworld

There were plenty more

Athena always starting a war

Aphrodite always finding love

There were all worshiped by those large and small

Protectors of the land

And those are the mighty Greek god and goddesses

Greek Architecture

The building here is very tall, sturdy, and long. The building contains a ton of pillars holding it together. There is lots of details that go into the inside and outside of greek architecture.

This building has lots of curved shape windows. The building is very tall and beige, after weathering some parts have came off. This building must be very sturdy due to it still existing today.

Greek Theatres

1. The types of Dramas performed were Tragedy's and Comedies. A tragedy was a serious drama about themes along the lines of love, hate, war, and betrayal. Comedies were contained scenes filled with slapstick situations and crude humor.

2. I recently rewatched Hunger games which could be considered a tragedy. It includes love and violence and i guess war because a war breaks out in the later books. The main character volunteers for her sister in the Hunger games. She gets paired up with Peeta and they fall in love, whilst fighting to the death against other districts. Both Greek productions and the Hunger games showed elements of love, emotion, and violence. 

3. 

Here is a picture of a greek theater. Some things i've noticed is it's open and has no roof. Second thing I noticed is there a large number of seats.
