GREECE

Many of the world's most important ideas come from Ancient Greece. These include important works of art such as early poetry, music, and drama, some mathematics like geometry, and even the idea of democracy! Hope you enjoy my book!

In Greece, there is a president and different mayors in the towns and the cities.&nbsp;A long time ago there weren't these people to take care of the country.&nbsp;They only thought that gods would take care of the country. Greeks used to rely on the gods to take care of them. To honor the past they have a celebration.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

Now you know why Greece is so important to the world. And why the Greek gods are so important to the Greeks. Hope you enjoyed my book!

In Greece people&nbsp;don’t have very good education.&nbsp;Most girls wear clothes like we do.&nbsp;Men wear clothes like us and many more things.&nbsp;Their life every day is the same as our’s here. But some can’t even afford to go to school.

Greeks have many different beliefs.&nbsp;They believe in gods. Such as Zeus, Aeschylus, Sophocles, Euripides, and Aristophanes.&nbsp;Most Greeks are Christian. Greeks enjoy coming together as a family to celebrate Christmas.&nbsp;They sometimes even invite their friends. Some Greeks don’t even believe in gods and that's okay.&nbsp;But most Greeks do.

For Mrs. DeGrazia, who has helped me a lot during the school year!

Art- The Greeks love and appreciate paintings that people share stories that happened long ago like: .Wars .Traditions .Sailors on the Sea .A Church .Old Buildings They also show the picture of the palace ruled by King Minos and there’s a picture of King Athens and his castle. Music- The Greeks make Greek songs and the songs tell a story about the ancient Greece.&nbsp;Lots of the songs were made 30 years ago and some people listen to those songs today even though those songs were written 30 years back. Greece does not have a Musical History like other countries do.

Currency- The money in Greece is called drachma. One drachma is equal to $1.11 in American money. The money shows pictures of gods from greek Mythology ( not presidents).&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; Industry People in Greece make drachma from companies that build ships and help tourism. Over 6,000,000 people a year visit Greece to see the ancient ruins and visit the beaches. The Greek merchant navy is one of the largest in the world.They ship textiles,metals,cement and chemicals.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
