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.
