One of the things that I like of ancient Greece is the mythology. Is really interesting reading and watching movies about the gods and demigods and all the history around them. One of the stories I like the most is the one that tells when Zeus became the supreme god. In this story, Zeus, Poseidon and Hades, three brothers, sons of the Titan Kronos killed their father in order to protect man kind and guide them. I also like that each god was related to things that affect humans, for example, the god of the sea was Poseidon and when the sea was “angry” and people couldn´t navigate they pray to Poseidon in order to make the sea calm down so they could navigate, similarly, they prayed to Ares (god of war) when they wanted to win the war and so on. Other thing I like of ancient Greece is the literature, there are two literary works I like the most: The Odyssey and Oedipus. I like The Odyssey because it teaches perseverance, an important value for people. If you haven´t read the Odyssey the summary is no matter what, no matter the obstacle, Ulises (the main character) never gave up and came back home to meet with his family again. I also like The Odyssey because it mentions ancient creatures as cyclopes, mermaids, sea monsters and the interaction between humans and gods. This means that I also like The Odyssey because it includes Greece mythology. On the other hand, I like Oedipus because of its structure. This literary work includes the dialogue of the characters but there were also external narrators and a chorus that give more details, explain better the context so the reader can understand and also analyze characters and the situation. I also like this literary work because humans interacted with gods and the prophecies gods made were fulfilled, at the end Oedipus killed his father, love and have a closer relationship with his mother and at the end he committed suicide, all these was written by the gods. I also like Greece organization. Greece was organized in many states, called cities states. Each state had their own laws and were something that distinguished them from the others, for example in Athens were the academics and in Sparta were the warriors. For me is really interesting that many time ago existed so complex organization, I mean, they thought in borders, laws, economic activities, transportation, services, supplies, etc. Finally, I like Spartans, the best warriors of the ancient world. I like their discipline and hard work. I also admire the story of the 300 warriors that fought Persians, because no matter the difference between the states of Greece, at the end they fight for Greece, their country. All in all, this are the things I like of ancient Greece, hope you like what I mentioned of this awesome civilization.
