Greeks worshiped the twelve Olympians that were Gods
and Goddesses. The Greeks honored their Gods, they asked for blessings and they
tried not to make them mad.
Temples were built where Greeks lived. Zeus was the king of the gods and ruled Gods and men from
atop Mt. Olympus. This is Greece’s highest mountain. To honor Zeus, the
city-states came together every four years for an Olympian festival and
games. The modern Olympics games
are based on this tradition. Why
do you think the Greeks choose to honor Zeus every four years? Why not every
two years?

DeleteThis blog is very fascinating and is very entertaining to read! For the reason on why its every four years, i agree with Kevin, the four in chinese does sound like death but i don't even think that they even knew chinese people existed back then let alone China. So maybe the every four years thing was because they thought four was a good year. That's probably wrong though. This blog kind of reminds me of the, "Percy Jackson" series. I do have a question though, do the Greeks live on the mountains? Also, the greeks are gods, or is that not right?
