YouTube The Jersey Devil Do Now Please in your journal answer the following question: Legends and myths have been used for centuries. Some are state wide, city wide, or may have even been told by you by your parents. We use myths and legends in our daily lives in the modern world, such as the Jersey Devil, or the legend of St. Nick who brings presents to good children on Christmas. Usually a myth serves a purpose. Please think of one myth or legend you have been told in your life and write a brief summary. What do you believe the purpose of that myth is? Why would someone make a story about that topic? What makes people believe it? Cultures of the Mountains and the Sea Geography Shapes Greek Life Ancient Greece • Collection of separate lands where Greek-speaking people live • Includes mainland and about 2,000 islands The Sea • The sea shapes Greek civilization • Proximity to sea, lack of resources encourage sea travel and trade The Land • Mountains slow travel, divide land into regions • Lack of fertile land leads to small populations, need for colonies, or city states. The Climate • Moderate climate promotes outdoor life • Greek men, especially, spend much of their time outside Map of Greece in Europe World Map Mycenaean Civilization Develops Origins • Mycenaeans—Indo-Europeans who settled on Greek mainland in 2000 B.C. • Took their name from their leading city, Mycenae Mycenaean warriorkings dominate Greece from 1600– 1100 B.C. Contact with Minoans • After 1500 B.C., Mycenaeans adopt Minoan sea trade and culture The Trojan War • Trojan War —fought by Mycenaeans against city of Troy in 1200s B.C. • Once thought to be fictional, archaeological evidence has been found Trojan War 10 Year war fought between the Mycenaean's and the Trojans.

Odysseus, a Greek solider devises a plan to get in, they will fashion a large wooden horse in which his army will sit. The Trojans falsely believe that the Greeks have retreated and left a symbol of defeat. The horse is brought into the city of Troy. The Greeks reclaim Helen. Greek Culture Declines Under the Dorians Dorians Replace Mycenaeans • Mycenaean civilization collapses around 1200 B.C. • Dorians—possibly relatives of Bronze Age Greeks—move into Greece • Less advanced than Mycenaeans, Dorians leave no written records • Becomes the dark age of Greece. Epics of Homer • Oral tradition grows, especially epics of Homer—a blind storyteller • Epic—a narrative poem about heroic deeds • Homer’s epic the Iliad, about Trojan War, shows Greek heroic ideal Greeks Create Myths • Greeks develop their own myths—traditional stories about gods • Greeks seek to understand mysteries of life through myths • Greeks attribute human qualities—love, hate, jealousy—to their gods • Zeus, ruler of Gods, lives on Mount Olympus with his wife, Hera • Zeus’s daughter Athena is goddess of wisdom and guardian of cities Greek Theatre Two types of Greek theatre Tragedy: serious drama about common themes such as love, hate, war, or betray. Great Tragedy playwrights: Sophocles - wrote 123 plays & Euripides wrote 95 plays. Comedy: contained plays with humor. Great comedy playwright: Aristophanes. The concept of using masks in theater was born from worship of Dionysus, the Greek god of fertility and wine. One of the main reasons for the wearing of Greek masks in theater was that there were female roles but women were forbidden from performing on stage. The use of masks was also helpful when an actor had to play more than one role. Masks Greek Mask Project Greek Mask Project Please research on Greek god, goddess, or hero.
