Greek life

After I graduated high school in 2009, I went to the University of Idaho for one semester. I was really excited to go to a school with Greek life, and I was able to get a great college experience. However, I realized I wasn’t focused on school like I should’ve been and I decided to move back to Boise. When I moved back to Boise, I decided to go to BSU after a year of being back.

Almost seven feet tall, a life-like sculpture stands, broad and muscular, in the middle of the National Archeological Museum, Naples, Italy. Made of bronze yet so full of life, the Spear Bearer is one of many ancient Greek sculptures surviving, as good as new, till this day. On the other side of the world stands the New York Kouros at the Metropolitan Museum, rigid and awkward, and all together unrealistic. However, Greek art, especially Greek sculpture and vase painting has not always portrayed

The Greeks do experience some positive changes after the Persian War. One of these changes includes how they view themselves as a civilization. They undoubtedly feel immense pride because they beat the massive Persian empire. Greeks experience a newfound sense of unity and togetherness. Unlike before, people consider the settlements on the Ionian coast to be truly Greek and not simply distant relatives. Also, the Greeks are no longer separated by their city-states.

changes in the everyday reality of an average Greek? With the rise of Alexander the Great and the empires of the Hellenistic period, the Greek world dramatically changed. No longer did the average citizen’s life play a role in the administration and leadership of the state.
