why+i+chose+greece

Sixto 3/23/09 I chose this topic because I think that Greece have a great history and culture like Greek mythology, philosophers, scholars, mathematicians, scientist, military power. I’ve always been interested in Greece ever since the sixth grade my teacher gave me an assignment to draw some Greek Art. In the assignment she had us draw Greek god, goddesses, and architecture. I like the art and the stories behind the Greek gods and goddesses and the whole drama dealing with mythology. All I can remember about the gods is that Zeus is the king of all the gods he has many siblings his two siblings that are mentioned a lot are Poseidon and Hades. In my topic I want to learn how they looked or were drawn what they represented to the Greek people like moon, sun or agriculture. How powerful they were how it began why did people pray to certain gods for certain things like safety, love etc. Also how the gods came to be and who created all these myths? The Romans also had gods like the Greeks one god the Greeks and the Romans had a sun god named Apollo he was the sun god for both. I want to discover the similarities between the roman and Greek gods who created the roman gods.
