Day 7: Ancient Greece

Back in Ancient Greece, there were certain terms that had strong importance. Here are some of the terms from back them:

Agora: The central spot in Ancient-Greek cities.
Polis:  A small community.

In ancient Greece there was also a man called Socrates. An important, Greek, philosopher. He died by execution. He is famous for the "Socrates method", in which he questions his students for a long period of time, searching for the truth.

Additionally, in ancient Greece, an idiot was someone who was not interested in politics, but was not necessarily stupid.

Finally in 508 BC, there were reforms in the democracy.

Another thought on ancient greece is that they had a different way on living their lives, making us realize how far have humans come to modernize and bring forth their society. Maybe in 100 years, people will make research about our lives today.

After all, time does go by fast...
