In Roman society, there were two main social classes. The patricians and the plebeians. Patricians were the wealthy and powerful Romans. They were the only ones able to have places in the government and constantly made unfair decisions that only benefitted themselves. The plebeians were the less wealthy Romans who were artisans, merchants, etc. who couldn't hold positions of power. Because of the patrician's unfair advantages when it came to politics, plebeians were able to elect tribunes. Tribunes were people who protected plebeian rights when it came to unfair laws. Plebeians also pushed for the Twelve Tables to be created. These were tablets with written laws on them. They were hung up in the forums (Roman center of government) and the written laws prevented patricians from altering the laws for their benefit. The social classes of plebeians and patricians are very similar to the social classes in Ancient Greece. Before democracy in Greece, the rich people in society held mo...

This is an Ancient Greek temple honoring the god Zeus. This used to be the largest temple in Ancient Greece, having 104 columns. However, only 16 columns remain today after the temple became unused and people took its materials. At the top of the columns are beautiful grecian artwork. The columns are used on this temple for support and also decorative purposes. This is The Parthenon. The Parthenon is a building that was dedicated to the goddess Athena. The Parthenon is a very important building, its different elements of art and architecture such as the columns show breakthroughs in grecian art history. This building was also representative of the victories that the Greeks had over Persia. As you can see in the picture, most of it is still intact and it is surrounded by rocky ground.

1) Describe the kinds of dramas that were performed in the theaters of ancient Greece.  There were two kinds of plays that were performed in Ancient Greece, tragedies and comedies. Tragedies were plays containing themes about war, love, betrayal, and sadness. The tragedies contained a main character which was usually a tragic hero. A tragic hero is a person who has a flaw such as excessive pride that led to them failing in their mission in the play. Aeschylus, Sophocles, and  Euripides were the main authors of tragedies and they wrote over 180 plays.
