Alexander the Great

             Today, we started class by going over our homework. We discussed the Hellenistic era, King Phillip, Alexander the great. We talked about why Athens was defeated in the Peloponnesian war. We started to talk about Alexander the Great, and he seemed like a pretty successful guy, hence the name Alexander the Great. Grabbing the reigns of Athens at the young age of twenty he took over about 90% of the known Greek world in only twelve years! He was able to use his power wisely, unlike some of the other rulers who took over Athens after Pericles. We also got a little 50 point assignment today that's due on Friday. We have to make a Powerpoint on a part of Alexander the Great's life. It's good that it will count for third quarter, because I only need one more point for my grade to be and A.
