The loss against Sparta in the Peloponnesian Wars severely weakened the Athenian Empire (P - 247). They suffered economically from the disruption on land and sea. (P - 247). After the war, the Greek city-states focused on trying to re-populate, recover, and re-establish power in the Ancient World (P - 249). They saw one man in the Athenian community as a threat to that.

In this play, Lysistrata rebels against the Spartan and Athenian war that lasts a great amount of time and motivates the women of Greece to strike against their men by pledging an oath of celibacy until those same men put down their arms in efforts to end the war. This medium for literature not only emphasizes the extremity of the war at hand, but also uses comedy to undermine the commentary of political…

Usually at night, I will stay up until 4 in the morning because I am either doing homework or messing around with my friends. Since I have to wake up at 8 in the morning for my classes, I only receive about 4 hours of sleep a night. This causes me to take a lot of naps during the day to make up for the missed hours. My roommate always complains that I need to stop sleeping during the day because…

The Persian Wars, fought between Greece and Persia, were one of the most significant wars fought in the Middle East/Mediterranean. Greece and Persia had similar, yet different, techniques of fighting the war, which could have been why all of the wars were dominated by Greece. Greece used a complex formation called the Phalanx, whom used cohesion and strength to dominate the Persians. While the Persians were innovative and well-led, they still did not beat the Greeks and lost the war. The Persian…

The scientist, Sir Isaac Newton, helped to organize the thinking about forces by formulating three laws. In his book Newton describes his three laws of motion. Newton’s Laws are all around us. To prove this, you will conduct 14 different activities showing everyday examples of these laws. Lab Procedure You will start at a lab station and then move from station to station until you have completed all 14 activities. You will have 3minutes to do the activity at each lab station. Perform the…
