My Favorite Greek Thinker .
Perikles
My favorite Greek thinker is Perikles. He was one of the most important people in Athens during the 5th century. He was elected 15 times to be general. He improved the system of democracy in the city. That made artists and philosophers to work in freedom. In my opinion Perikles planned a major building program for the Athens , because he cared for his people. Perikles sounds like a strong, bold and caring man. These are some reasons why he is my favorite Greek Thinker.

"Hector."
1) Do you believe Hector did the right thing by fighting Achilles?
I believe Hector did do the right thing by fighting Achilles because , the gods betrayed Hector and took his friend. Also because Hector is fighting for protection over his people and family. As for Achilles he just wants revenge and to be glorified.
2) What do you think was the reason Hector accepted Achilles challenge?
In my opinion I believe Hector only accepted Achilles challenge because they were both the best fighters and they both had heroic qualities. Also because Achilles had killed many of Hector's Trojan people and he wants it to all stop.
3) Would you have done the same?
Yes! Because I care for my people here in America and I would fight for them exactly how they fight for me in war. I wouldn't want Achilles to think he's better then me so I can see where Hector is coming from.

The Myth Of Osiris .
In the beginning there was only Nun. Nun started at the dark waters of chaos. As the days went by, there was one day that a hill popped out of the waters. This hill was then named, Ben-Ben. The first god, whose name wast Atum, stood on the hill. Atum then coughed out Shu, who is the god of the air, and Tefnut, the goddess of moisture. After these gods were created, they had two children. The first child was named Geb, the god of the earth. Then, there was Nut, the goddess of the sky. Shu, lifted up Nut so she can be a canopy over Geb. Nut and Geb then had four children named Osiris, Isis, Seth, and Nephthys. Osiris then became ruler of the earth and Isis became queen. Myth says, Osiris was a good king and ruled for many years. However, Seth was jealous of his brother Osiris , because Seth wanted to be ruler himself. The days go by and Seth's jealousy came to an end by murdering his brother , Osiris. Osiris went down into the underworld and Seth remained up on earth and became king. Osiris and Isis had one son called Horus. Horus battled against Seth and won victory in Seth's throne. After Horus won the battle he became king of the earth his father, Osiris, became king of the underworld.
