Movie on Greeks Part 6

   Today in Mr. Schick’s West Civ class, we continued to watch the movie on the Greeks. Today we learned that Themistocles was the savior of the city of Athens and he recognized that the Persian Empire may try again to attack them and they may not be so lucky this time. In the straits of Salamas, Athens was able to trap Persia. A delian is a bunch of city-states.  Achilles had a fatal flaw. When he was younger, he was dipped into something that would prevent him from getting hurt. Every part of his body was dipped into it except his heal. Later in life, he got stabbed right in that heal that had not been dipped in. This was his fatal flaw. The Greeks began the idea of “gods.” Phales wrote the first book about navigation. Socrates believed that the unexamined life was not worth living. The plague killed nearly 1/3 of Athens and Pareclees died from the plague in 429 BC.
