Day 2

Today in class we took notes. Some of my notes are, "the sea shaped the ancient greek civilization, in one sense, the greeks didn't live on land but around water." "The land was very mountainous so the people settled in valleys but travel was hard through the mountains so they didn't have good communication between the greek communities." "Due to all the mountains there wasn't a lot of fertile farmland so the greeks couldn't ever maintain a large population." "Greek stories tell of their army's capture of the legendary city of Troy by hiding soldiers in a hollow wooden horse." "greeks had many gods and they all served a purpose in one way or another."
