TIME TRAVEL ESSAY

If i could go back in time i would go to Ancient Greece. It has always been my favorite era to learn about. Their art, their beliefs, and architecture have been my favorite part about it since grade 6.

For their art they have vases, statues, paintings and theatre. the first thing i would do was go to one of their plays. In their theatre they had massive colosseums seating people to watch their plays. They had only male actors, females had no say in anything. They were always outside for the plays. Their paintings were tributes to the gods and goddesses sometimes painted on hand crafted vases.

They had beliefs of Gods and Goddesses. I would go to athens and visit the temple with the pure golden statue dedicated to the Goddess Athena. They had different Gods and Goddesses for everything. Some for love and desire, some for power, some for the ocean and the sky, music, healing, some for hell in the afterlife. The men had all the ruling over everything. Women would not work and could not vote. They would stay at home and watch the kids or help the slaves.

For Architecture they have temples, colosseums, gymnasiums, fountains, and stadiums. I would go to a temple first to see how big they actually are in person and what's inside of them. I really would love to see where they did the first olympics, and where they trained. Where they thought was for lowly townspeople would be interesting to see compaired to what we see now in modern society.

So, if i could go back in time i would see where most things started and see what it was like without all the technology we have today in this century compared to what they had way back then. It would be a culture shock to see how these people got through life without anything we have and how they managed to do it just as good or even better than us in this day and age.
