The Parthenon was a religious structure built by the people of Athens to pay homage to the goddess of wisdom, Athena. Its constructing began in 447 during the juncture of the Athene city state power. It is considered to be one of the most magnificent structures ever built, as it is regarded as the symbol of the Ancient Greeks' philosophy of democracy. Current archaeologists believe that the initial purpose of the building was to be a treasury, but during its history is has been used as not only a treasury but also as a church and mosque.
Goddess of wisdom Athena
Bless me with your everlasting intellect
I will uphold the temple so that it may always serve as a beacon of your knowledge
For from you all ideas flourish
Continue to guide the minds of all Athenians and our blades
And forever we will be in your service
Chris,
ReplyDeleteGreat start to the blog, but the 2nd post hyperlink does not actually work. Fix that please. The template is fine; keep experimenting and adding enhancements to your blog.
As for the poem, you still chose Ancient Greece even though it was NOT a prehistoric religion. Therefore, it's hard to get the viewpoint of prehistoric man and the desperation with which they practiced their religion for survival. Also, the poem is only 8 lines, rather than the required 12. However, you did bring in a few of the characteristics. Please make sure you read over the assignment carefully, and if you have questions, ask me.
Chris,
ReplyDeleteYou also don't have a hyperlink to my site or to someone else's in class. Please add those both.
