The plebeians are the working class and the majority of the people. They have to work hard for everything they receive and nothing is just handed to them. The patricians inherit money and fame and "the name". The patricians only make up a small percent of the citizens. They are more of the politicians and lawyers. The plebeians do all the hard work and make everything for the patricians to get no respect from them. The patricians want everything for themselves and since they are the politicians they don't give the plebeians many rights. The greek definitions are; plebeians- the common farmers, artisans, and merchants who made up the majority of the population. Patricians- wealthy landowners who held most of the power.

CYBER DAY


This is an ancient greek temple in Paestum which is near the coast of modern day Italy. Paestum is known to have many preserved Greek temples. The people did not go inside the temples unless they were bringing offerings to the statue. They worshipped outside and the temple was more meant to honor a statue. The rows of columns and triangular roofs were some of the key architecture.


This is the theatre and temple of Apollo at Delphi. This theatre is built further up the hill past the temple of Apollo. There are 35 rows that can accomodate up to five thousand people. The chorus preformed in the center space (orchestra). The actors preformed on the stage (skene). The underground tiered seating allowed everyone with a perfect view of the stage.

CYBER DAY

1.) The Greeks preformed 2 kinds of drama in the theaters of Ancient Greece. The first was tragedy and the second was comedy. Tragedy was a serious drama about common themes such as love, hate, war, or betrayal. Tragedy's usually have a main character or a tragic hero. A comedy contained scenes filled with slapstick situations and crude humor. Comedies often made fun of politics and respected people. 

2.) I have watched many comedic movies lately and they also seem to attack politics or make jokes about political or important leaders. In Ancient Greece, they also targeted respected leaders. They both contain a series of jokes that keep the audience laughing. There are many late night shows such as "Late Night with Seth Meyers" and "The Late Night Show with Jimmy Fallon" that target politics and make jokes about the political leaders such as Trump.



 
3.) A theatre was an outdoor arena with plenty of seating circled around a stage. The actors preformed on the center stage. The theatre's were generally underground and many people came to watch the plays.
