Video

       Since I wasn't in class last Thursday, i was slightly behind with the video, but I took a lot of notes today on the video. I learned many new things. I learned that Cleisthenes was ostricized, which means he was run out of town. Back then to the Greeks, being ostricized was even worse than being killed. Cleithenes died in 527 B.C. I also learned about the ancestors of the Olympics. Every 4 years in Greece mean would compete in athletic skill in things such as chariot racing, running races, wrestling, and boxing. 508 B.C. was a date that stood out a lot for the Greeks. It was the first time in human history where middle class people fought for for their lifestyle. It was the first time that Greece had a revolution.
