A New version of Orpheus

Orpheus is the King of Thrace. He and his people like to sing and play music. But, one day he was playing music with an instrument called a liar. Orpheus played the music so beautiful that one day in the forest a tree opened up. Inside this tree was a beautiful woman called Eurydice. After that Orpheus took the girl to his people and they got married. One day Eurydice went into the forest and a really hairy man with the legs of a goat started to chase her and she started to yell Orpheus. When Orpheus heard the screams he went running to see what was going on but he was to late a snake had bitten her. So what Orpheus did is, he went into the underworld and tried to get the king of the underworld to let his wife go with him but he said no. So what he did is play his music to see if that will make the king give him his wife back and he did. But, he said to Orpheus you can never look back to see if she is following you or not. So he never looked back until they reached the upper world and when he did she went back to the underworld and stayed there forever. So when Orpheus returned to his people he told them that there never going to play music ever again. The people started to get angry so what they did is that, they killed Orpheus. THE END

Julius Caesar

Julius Caesar was one of the most important Rome leaders. He was chosen because the Senates did a poor job in running the republic so the Romans wanted a strong leader. Caesar got recognized by the success he had in the battlefield while he was governing. When the senates knew that Caesar didn't follow orders he told Pompey and his army to attack Caesar. But, Caesar won the fight. When the Romans heard about this he got even more powerful. So, in 46 BC they elected him as a dictator of Rome. On March 15, 44 BC the senators were so mad that an angry mob of 60 senators stabbed him to death. This is why Julius Caesar was so important.

My favorite Greek thinker

My favorite Greek thinker is Euclid. Euclid invented geometry. Without Euclid we wouldn't have shapes. People in the whole world would have never known what shapes were. Constructors wouldn't know how to build anything because everything they build is a shape they also wouldn't know what size does it have to be so it could fit correctly. For example, a door is a rectangle. We wouldn't know how to make money because we don't know what shape it is. Like, a dollar is rectangular and the coins are a circle. This is why Euclid is my favorite greek thinker

Hector

Hector is the Prince of Troy. And Achilles is the mighty Trojan warrior. Both of them confront each other on the outsides of Troy. Both of the warriors show great heroic values but, only one man stays standing. The man that stays standing is Achilles. I think Hector did the right thing by fighting Achilles because it shows that he died with honor and he wanted his people to know that he wasn't scared of anything. He also wanted the people to tell the war he had with the great Trojan warrior for generations and generations to come. I think Hector accepted Achilles challenge because he wanted all the world to know that he was a hero. Yes I would have done the same because I would've been remembered as a legend and a hero.

The Myth of Osiris

The story of Osiris begins with the Nuns. The Nuns were the dark waters of chaos. One day a little hill rose from the waters this hill was called "Ben-Ben." In this hill was a god named Atum. This god was the first god. Atum coughed out the god of the air which was named Shu, he also coughed out Tefnut, the goddess of moisture. Shu and Tefnut had two children the first one was Geb the god of the earth the second one was called Nut the goddess of the sky. Shu lifted Nut over Geb like a canopy. Then they had four children named Osiris, Seth, Isis, and Nephthys. Osiris then became the king of the earth and his wife Isis was the queen. But then something went wrong his brother Seth got jealous of him because he wanted to be ruler of the earth so one day he killed Osiris. So Osiris went down to the underworld and Seth became king. However, the son of Osiris and Isis who was named Horus battled Seth to regain the throne after this Horus became ruler of the Earth and Osiris became king of the underworld. Osiris was also known for being the god of resurrection and fertility. Most ancient Egyptians believed that Osiris gave them the gift of barley. For the ancient Egyptians this was a very important crop. A large temple was built to honor Osiris at Abydos. Abydos is a town in Upper Egypt close to the Nile river many Egyptians believe that the head of Osiris has been preserved there. Abydos is known for the memorial temple of "Seti I." On this temple there is a list of most dynastic pharaohs in Egypt in chronological order. And this is the story on the Myth of Osiris.

The Nile River

The Nile river is the longest in the world. The Nile begins from Africa & passes through Egypt into the Mediterranean Sea, it is a distance of more than 4000 miles. The Egyptians stretched the Nile about 750 miles wide. The Nile river cut through the desert of Upper Egypt. It created a river valley that was very fertile that was 13 miles wide. Next to the Nile river laid hundreds of miles of bleak desert sands. At the end, the Nile river flowed into the Mediterranean Sea. Unlike the Tigris & Euphrates the Nile's floods were easy to predict. The Nile helped Egypt civilization to develop, they helped them by fertile soil farming & water. This helped the food production increase.
