Objects As History (Week 5)

This week we read about Greece, there were a lot of things that was going on at that time. According to me, there was a lot of dramatic part to it also that really caught my eye. So many Greek gods were there and how Greek recorded them was something amazing also. How they were described by writers was something that can engage a person to read about them who is even a little bit interested in history, like me. Starting from Mycenaean then The Dark Ages, further to Archaic period, then Classical and then Hellenistic Period a lot happened that is worth mentioning. Starting of Olympics, Grecco Persian war, then Alexander painting the globe with its color. They Also recorded all of this in a very aesthetic and descriptive way. About each autonomous city-states, they have a sufficient amount of documents to tell about them. Except for the Spartans who were interested in war, remaining Greece had a very creative background that we can see by their detailed and beautiful architectures and sculptures.
