In class today, we discussed characteristics of classical art and philosophy, and we defined the vocab word arete (balance, order, and proportion). We talked about how this was was "excellence" meant for Greeks and they tried to embody this worldview in their daily lives. We then watched excerpts from the PBS Documentary The Greeks (get a movie guide if you were absent).
For homework, follow the directions on the assignment sheet to make your way through the two sections on Alexander the Great and Hellenistic culture. If you focus on the terms (definition and significance) and the questions listed there, you should have the information you need.
