Recently, officials in thegovernment have requested thatsome ancient marble statues -called the Elgin Marbles - bereturned to Greece where theyoriginally came from. The statuesare in England right now.

Although the debate has beengoing on for a while, the newrequest was sparked by thecompletion of a new museum in thecity of Athens, Greece. Thegovernment would like to housethe sculptures with other relatedsculptures there.

During the early 1800s, British ambassador Thomas Bruce, who was the Earl of Elgin, received permission fromthe ruling authorities at the time to remove the statues and transport them to England. They have been in amuseum there for more than 200 years. Since that time, there has been a lot of argument over who owns themarbles and whether it was right to take them from their original home. As this recent request would indicate, thedebate continues today.

The marble sculptures are famous pieces of art that used to be a part of one of Greece's most famous buildings,the Parthenon. The Parthenon is a huge temple built more than 2,400 years ago that still stands today in Athens.It was built to honor Athena, the Greek goddess of wisdom and war. The marbles were located on a section of thetemple called the pediment.

Maybe New York City or Washington, D.C.? In ancient Greece, that city was Athens. Let's look at some of the highlights of the Golden Age of Greece and how, like all good things, it eventually came to an end.AgoraToday, you might go to the mall to shop, eat, see a movie and mingle with friends. In ancient Greece, people in Athens went to the agora. It was the center of the city, its marketplace. It was a place where travelers came to share their goods and information about the outside world. The agora was where people like Socrates loved to spend time talking with people and teaching. The agora was about the size of several football fields and was always very busy.School DaysBoys went to school at the age of 7, while girls stayed home with their mothers. The schools were called gymnasia (meaning "training grounds" in Greek), where boys learned math, writing and reading. Teachers were called grammatisites. Instead of paper, boys wrote on wooden tablets covered with wax. They used a stylus, a writing tool made of metal or bone. Students wrote their lessons in the wax with the sharp tip of the stylus. If they made a mistake, they used the other blunt end to smooth the wax so the tablet could be reused.Let's Go to the TheaterThe Greeks loved going to outdoor theaters, or amphitheaters, which were shaped in a semicircle. One well-known amphitheater was Epidaurus. It seated more than 14,000 people. The Greeks created sad, serious plays called tragedies and funny plays called comedies. Famous playwrights included Euripides, Aeschylus, Aristophanes and Sophocles. Only men or boys performed plays, and they usually wore large masks. These masks had large openings for the mouths, which worked like megaphones to broadcast the actors' voices. The background sceneries for the plays that hung on the stage were called skenes. Our word "scenery" comes from this Greek word.ArchitectureHave you ever seen a picture of the Supreme Court Building in Washington, D.C.? Its architecture, or building style, dates back to ancient Greece. The Greeks liked buildings with many giant columns. They developed three basic styles of columns. A plain but sturdy, thin column was called a Doric column. An even thinner column with a scroll-like top was called an Ionic column. A Corinthian column was a very fancy column with lots of carved leaves at the top.Peloponnesian WarRivalry, jealousy and high taxes, or tributes, led Athens into the Peloponnesian War in 431 B.C., when the Spartans began to fight the Athenians. The Peloponnesian War lasted 30 years. At first, the Athenians seemed to be winning the war. They built a wall around their city and harbor so their enemies could not enter the city. Athens also had a navy, while the other cities did not. The Spartans persuaded the Persians to give them money to build a navy. Remember the Persian Wars and how the Persians hated Athens? In exchange for the money, Sparta gave Persia some land in Asia Minor. Sparta eventually convinced other Greek city-states and the Persians to join the fight. Together, they defeated the Athenian navy and forced Athens to surrender in 404 B.C. The Spartans tore down the city walls and established their own government. The Golden Age of Athens had come to an end.Famous GreeksAesop - an ancient storyteller known for fables like the tortoise and the hareEuclid - the father of math; wrote a geometry textbookPythagoras - a mathematician whose theories are still used todayArchimedes - a scientist and mathematician who once said that if he had a long enough lever and a good place to stand, he could move the EarthHippocrates - the father of medicine; established a code of conduct for physicians called the Hippocratic OathHerodotus - one of Greece's first historians; wrote about the Persian WarsSappho - a woman poet who wrote about love and friendship Collect Rev Coins x5← PrevWho Gets the Ancient Greek Statues?Next →SocratesWhich famous Greek philosopher could usually be found at the agora, talking to people? x10EASYSocratesHerodotusPlatoEuclidThis article has several sub-sections that deal with many different subjects.

He spent his life pursuing knowledge. Socrates was a great thinker even as a boy. He once told his father that a pitcher was just an arrangement of clay, that its use is what gave the pitcher beauty. Socrates spent his days at the agora of Athens, walking among the people, chatting, questioning and thinking. Socrates said he was different from others because he knew he was ignorant. He wanted to learn from others. People nicknamed Socrates the "Great Questioner" because he said that to learn, one must ask questions - lots of them!Socrates' most famous student was Plato, who also became a great thinker, philosopher and teacher. Plato's most famous student was Aristotle. Aristotle is often called the father of science. He used his powers of observation to learn much about the world. As a teacher, Aristotle also had a very famous student. The young boy grew up to be Alexander the Great. As you can see, Socrates' influence continued through generations.Teaching got Socrates into a lot of trouble. The Greek government accused him of corrupting young minds and disrespecting the religious traditions of his day. They put Socrates on trial and found him guilty. They sentenced him to death by drinking a cup of poison hemlock. Socrates accepted his sentence because he believed in the idea of trial by jury and because the jury found him guilty. Even though Socrates had many opportunities to escape from jail, he did not. He took the poison to carry out the decision of the jury. Would you have done this? Can you understand why Socrates did this? What might have happened if Socrates, a respected citizen of Athens, refused to accept his sentence? Would the idea of trial by jury have survived?

Historians aren't sure if the Trojan War actually tookplace, but people have kept the story going through time. The great poet, Homer, wrote the "Iliad," a poem aboutthe Trojan War. The Greek cities of Sparta and Troy went to war. Troy was one of the cities along the coast of AsiaMinor. The story says the son of the king of Troy came to see the king of Sparta, Menelaus. Menelaus' wife, Helen,left her husband for the handsome young son named Paris. He was angry that Helen went with Paris, so Menelaussent 100,000 ships to fight against Troy. The war lasted for many years.

Finally, the Spartans came up with a trick. They left a huge wooden horse outside Troy's city walls. One Spartanstayed behind to tell the Trojans that the Spartans didn't want to fight any longer and that the huge wooden horsewas a peace offering. The people of Troy rejoiced! They thought the war was over and took the horse inside theircity and partied that night. Some worried about the gift and said it was a trick. They were right. Thirty Spartansoldiers had hidden inside the horse. That night, the Spartan soldiers crept out of the wooden horse and openedthe city gates to let the rest of the Spartan army into the city. They killed the Trojan people and burned Troy to theground.

Greeks built the Parthenon temple around 447 B.C. to honor the goddess Athena. The sculptor Phidias designed the Parthenon during the Golden Age of Greece. He used more than 20,000 tons of marble to build it. The temple was in good shape until A.D. 1687, when gunpowder that the Turks had stored in the temple ignited and blew up. Now, air pollution threatens the building's remaining 17 original sculptures. Painted scenes depicting the Trojan War and battles with gods and giants are almost unrecognizable. To save the sculptures, some in Greece would like to remove the sculptures and place them in a museum being constructed below the acropolis (hill) where the Parthenon is located. They want to replace the original sculptures with replicas. What do you think of this idea and why?
