Athens Greece

Athens Greece: If you were a boy you had train to be a Hoplite or soldier when you were about 19-20 years old. They have an A on the shield. Athena gave the olive tree as a gift. As a young boy you'd have to go to school at the age 7. People lived in a square like house. Moms taught the girls how to take care of the house and how to weave and to sew. The Acropolis is a hill with a lot of temples to worship god's and goddesses. The Parthenon sits on the Acropolis. It's the largest temple on the hill, built  for Athena. The Greeks invented voting, it was on a hill called the Pynx.
