Our project is an Ancient Greek Amphitheatre. The time period of this ancient Greek structure was between 550 and c. 220 BC. The architecture was used for entertainment for the Greeks. The city of Athens became a great cultural, political and military was during this time in history. The Greeks celebrated the Dionysia which were to celebrate the Greek God Dionysus and all of his gifts to mankind. The three types of theatre were tragedy which was during the late 600’s BC. Comedy was also played as theatre and it was during 486 BC. Satyr Play was the last type of theatre they had. The Ampitheatre was used for entertainment for the Greeks even though women were not allowed to be an actress in the play. Only men were allowed. This architecture was incredible because it helped everyone have a great time.
This architecture has a lot of importance to me because it created the foundation for everything we have today. It created stories to tell and people started making them and they expanded so far that they made television so everyone could see it at any time in the comfort of their own home. It helped people relax two- thousand years ago and now comedy and tragedy stories help me unwind and relax for a while. Shakespeare, one of the great poets, made these stories and he became a hit and people still read his stories today to learn a lot about his work. Schools still teach his work even after 400 years and we still use plays but not as popular though. This is still good after two- thousand years after Athens had theatre.Theatre also may have inspired some music that we have today with all of their tragedy and people may have started to sing and speak about their lives through music instead of doing it on plays or on stage. This artifact created stadiums for sports because it was in the exact same shape and people expanded on it. Now, thousands of people could go to the game and see everything without standing up and having no problem at all. It is stilled used in the 21st century today.
This Amphitheatre had a great significance in history. The significance in history that it had was that it was able to entertain people and give them something to do on their free time so they would not be bored and do nothing. The Amphitheatre was able to seat many thousands of people. The theatre was able to discuss things about politics through their plays in it. People were watching and entertained while also technically discussing and listening to ideas of politics. People could see the expressions on actors’ faces with them having masks on and this was good because all the people could see the show without twitching or moving. The acrostics gave the people an advantage because all of them could hear about the topic without the actors having to shout just like in your stadiums. The Athenians had all these theatres and it caused a lot of ideas to come to us and we expanded on them as mentioned earlier. The significance that this theatre had had in history is that the Western Culture used it and it became part of their culture like for the Indians and other theatre cultures.
Overall, the Amphitheatre had a great significance to me and history. The Amphitheatre was used for entertainment but also for politics. It had a great importance in history for this and it was important to me and society because people expanded on these ideas to then make television and plays like Shakespeare. To me, without any of this theatre in Athens, then we would not have much to do and we may have never had television in our time today. It may have come in centuries later or years later.

The Greek Olympic Torch
In ancient Greece they believed that Prometheus stole fire from the gods. They thought fire was a gift from the gods. The Greeks kept fires burning in their temples. They burned fires in the temple of Zeus and his wife Hera during the Olympic Games, A fire burned permanently on the altar of the goddess Hestia at Olympia. The ancient Greeks thought and cherished their gods so they did all of these things to honor them and to show sign of respect.
The time when the first Olympic torch was made was during the age of 776 BCE and it ended during the age of 383 AD. The torch was during these time periods because so were the Ancient Olympics and the torch was a symbol of these Olympics. The games were stopped because of him because he was a Christian fanatic and he hated Greek pagans. He did not want the Greeks to celebrate these Olympic Games. This was the main symbol for the Olympics.
This artifact is important to me but also to the whole world. It is important to Greeks because it symbolized spirit, knowledge and life. It is important to me because to me it is a great way to honor what the ancient Greeks did with a flame and it is also important to me because it shows that Greece is going to be with us for a long time and that its memory will carry on. The Olympic flame is important to the world because some people’s ancestors were Greek and they want to keep their memory alive of the Olympic Games. They want to feel the same way as their ancestors did so they celebrate the Olympics. Also the torch is important to people because some of them get to light it up so it would be important to them. It is important to the rest of the world because it is a special thing to see and it shows the history of something magnificent. It is important because it shows the importance of the gods and their offering to the Greeks and also a little to us. The mirror lights up the torch using its rays which is a way to honor the gods on their giving to us and it means that the light is from the gods.
In conclusion, the Olympic Games have provided many sources of entertainment and fun to us and the ancient Greeks. The time period of this Olympic flame was during 776 BCE to 383 AD. The Olympic flame is important to us and the world in many ways and there is a lot of significances in this artifact. Throughout this project, I have learned much significance in the ancient Olympic flame that was first shown in Ancient Greece.
