the greeks are just like you and me!

There are lots of interesting things about the ancient Greeks but the most interesting is that even so long ago they still did a lot of the things we do today.  If the men went training to be in the military they were watching and preforming plays and dramas that they can relate to.  The woman were not allowed to watch or preform in the theater but the men did not play woman roles. The lives of woman were very close to domestic work, spinning,  weaving,  and other jobs, they were not a part of public life and politics.  Children spent their time playing with toys and dolls around the  house.  Most of the Greeks made their living off farming although the climate did not make it easy for them. What if you went back in time to the ancient Greeks, what would you do?

    If I could go back in time I would make it a law that a ladies can do what ever they want to do and they could not be told that they cant do it because they are girls or they need to stay home. I think it is only fair for that to happen because a woman should have rights and not be held down. Do you think a woman should be able to do what ever she wants why or why not?

    I would become the Greek god, and make a law that women could do whatever they please. I would also give them each a piece of pie. I think it is necessary for women to have the same rights as men. Children should also be able to go out and be with friends. Or at least make some friends. Do you think that women deserve rights?
