To support the family and everything done by a family, people had to have jobs just like we do today. This picture shows the most common jobs and trades. It makes sense that miners and carpenters were very popular jobs because with all the stone and woodworking done back then, many positions had to be filled. Since religion was also extremely important to the ancient Greeks, being a priest was also a high-demand job. The picture shown shows other examples of jobs people had in ancient Greece.

Since the custom of having a very close family, everything done is as a group, even since ancient times. Marriages are very big family events which include many of the closest members. Especially in the religious events, the family is all centered around the festivity. For example, a child's baptism gathers the whole family around to celebrate the special time.
This is important because the togetherness of the whole family is shown. The great family traditions are huge events and a large part of the whole family partakes in it.

Homeric religion was the period of time when the first clear picture of Greek religion was starting to form. It was named after Homer who wrote the Odyssey and the Iliad. The gods and goddesses were important and each city had a guardian, or patron, god or goddess. The gods had supernatural powers but were not omniscient, omnipotent, or omnipresent. The gods fought with each other and also intervened in human activities. This was the religious period that was around during the Odyssey.

The Greek people had a huge connection with the gods and everything they provided for the people. This video talks about how the Greek viewed their gods and how the gods would teach them something very important all the time. Learning about the gods was incredibly high up in their personal importance. It's easy to see how the nature seen there shows the "gifts" from all the gods to the people. Since all the gods were food, feeling , or weather related, the Greek people linked everything they did to the gods and how they helped the peoples' lives.

This is the Ionic order. The Ionic order has a neat feature to it. It is the one that is most createful   and has a lot of art work put into it. It has flutes on it, same as the  Doric style pillars. But the one big thing that sets these two apart from each other would be the more vertical flutes than those of the Doric order.  On top of the Ionic pillars there are two volutes that rest on a band of palm-leaf ornaments . One way to tell the Ionic and the Doric apart from each other is Doric has three vertical flutes and the Ionic has only two flues.

The war ships were very big. That called for a lot of men to run the oars and manage the sails. The average warship had three banks of oars and where called Triremes. To handle the Triremes, the job called for about 170 men. With that, the ship was big and needed all people to be there for the help and each person had its own oar to control. In front of the ship was where the soldiers would stand and fight others.

The normal size for the cargo ship is 115 feet long. To put that into perspective, that would be three school buses lined up. Some of the ships were constructed to carry cargo and some of them to carry weapons. At the very tip of the ship, the Greeks added a layer of brass for whenever they needed to ram into something such as another boat of some sort. The ships ran by man power and sales to travel along the water nice and quickly. Before every trip, the sailor would say a prayer to the sea god Poseidon to keep them safe and to watch over them.

The Greek people have many things that they relate to religion. One of them is their food. They gather through food and share it with family and friends. It's a huge part of their lifestyle and how they live with others. One of the way food and their drinks are important in Greek life is how they use it in church. For the Greek Orthodox Church's holy communion, a strong, sweet , thick wine is used.

The Parthenon was a temple in Athens. It cost 469 silver talents to make, which is just under 10 million dollars in modern money.
The Parthenon was dedicated to Athena. Greeks would go to the temple to worship her. The main purpose of the temple was to protect a statue of Athena made out of gold and ivory. Most of the time people were not allowed to go into the temple and would just look from the outside.

A lot of Greeks would have a special place in their home dedicated to their gods or goddesses. Their every day life included praying to the gods and leaving offerings at the temples.

Religion was very important to the Greeks because it was comforting for them and could help guide them in life. By looking for signs from the gods they thought they could predict the future or get an omen. Greeks could go to the temples any time they wanted and leave offerings for a prayer or to thank the gods for something. They would also pray whenever they passed by a temple. The Greeks would also visit temples if they were sick to pray for healing.

This picture shows an illustration of how an ancient Greek home would look like. The house drawn is a larger one because it has an upstairs as well. The courtyard is shown in this picture too. It almost seems like apartments because of all the doors that led into the different rooms.
This picture is important because the Greeks are very family-based and they do all their family gatherings in their home. By showing the home, it's easy to get a feel of how they lived as a large family.

Many athletic games and music competitions were held, as well as theatre. Visitors from all over Greece would come to the festivals. Warfare was banned during the events. One example of a festival was the Panathenaic Festival.

These festivals were held in order to honor the gods. The festivals were normally hosted at sacred sights. Warfare was banned during this time to represent their sacred status. Also, any travelers were allowed to pass through Greece freely during these festivals for the same reason. The events were very important to the Greeks because they were a great way to honor their gods and goddesses.

Besides the formal and public rituals held for the gods there were also hidden groups who did rituals and rites. The most famous was called the Mysteries of Eleusis. There were also Oracles, such as the Oracle at Delphi.

In the closed groups called the Mysteries, people would perform specific activities. They believed that those activities would grant special spiritual benefits, such as  a better after-life. It was very important to them. The Oracles were people who were thought to be messengers for the gods. Greeks went to the Oracles to speak with the gods or receive signs from the gods. They went to the Oracles to help guide their futures.

Their houses were simple because the common people didn't have the techniques for building complex homes. The largest homes had up to 4 rooms, so the families had to get used to living close to each other. We have it much better than they did, we have much larger houses than what we really need. All the houses were built around a central courtyard. That way all the residents could have a meeting place and a single area to gather.

The work and the sacrifices that all the people had to put in to get the limestone blocks into place. The first thing that came into practice was finding the marble and cutting it out. The work was tough and they used their hands and their body to do all the work. Then came moving the blocks. They were smart and tried to use every source possible. They were close to the Nile and they would use that to help take some of the burden off their shoulders. If not by the Nile, they would use a somewhat railroad system. They would roll the stone over the wood planks that were laid across to help roll the stone to get it where they wanted to. Another big part was the rope and animals.

The people of ancient Greece had to have jobs and past times just like wee have to do now. When boys would play their games, they'd lay while naked so the women and girls weren't supposed to watch. For work, the men usually farmed or fished, both were very big producers of food for the people and their families. Families would eat what they picked that day because growing was much less expensive than buying. Women would usually stick to housework and didn't get outside for work.
This is important because Odysseus and his men definitely could have played in these activities in their free time.

Each city in Greece had a separate patron god or goddess. The Greeks believed that their city's patron would visit the temples during rituals. Priests did special ceremonies at an altar outside the temple and sacrificed to their patron god or goddess. They usually sacrificed pigs, sheep, cows, and goats.

This was an important part of the Greek religion. The rituals were a way for the Greeks to thank their gods. They could contact their patron god and worship them. They believed that the gods would bless them in their daily lives and help them if they sacrificed to them. They worshiped the gods to keep them from getting angry and punishing them.

Since the climate was warm and dry in Greece, the people had to have their way of living in a special manner. Their food had to be easily made from the land, which I think makes sense because if they were poor they could only grow their food. Only the rich people ate meat, also in their houses. That also shows why Odysseus' men didn't eat the really nice stuff, they didn't have much money. They stuck to cheese and wine because it was easy to make and not expensive.

The Olympian gods were the 12 most important gods in the ancient Greek religion. Each god represented or personified a different idea or natural event.

By having these gods, the Greeks were able to explain natural events like the seasons, storms, and more. The Greeks prayed to specific gods when they needed something. They believed that the gods would help them with different tasks. Each god had unique abilities, so each one held a special place in Greek religion. The gods were also an important part of Greek mythology.

There were three main styles for the columns. The one main one is the Doric. The Doric style of the column show a sense of maturity. They are often used in the Greek temples. A prostyle temple is a temple that has only pillars in the front. Those pillars are in the front of the temple. After some time passed, the Greeks like the look and the style of the pillars. It became more popular and used more in other buildings.
