What is still lasting today from the ancient Athens?
Today, we also live in a democracy. Unlike in ancient Greece, today women get to vote. Juries of 12 people decide if someone is guilty of a crime, we don’t use old ostracons anymore. The Greeks loved sports as much as we do. They enjoyed the discus, javelin, long jump, boxing and horse racing. Athletes even prayed to Nike, the goddess of victory! She’s still a big name in sport today. Aristotle studied animal, rocks, and plants. He even planned experiments to find out about the world he lived in. Today, scientists do the same kind of studies and experiments. Ancient Greek philosophers made big discoveries. Philosophers found ways to measure and describe shapes that we still use in math today. A lot of our information we know today came from the ancient Athens and Greeks.
