The Greek Slaves
Most of the slaves worked in the fields, slaves worked for small farms. Other slaves worked on huge farms with hundreds of other slaves.Other slaves, both men and women, worked in factories or small shops, making shoes pots or cloth. Or slaves who had skills might be dancers or musicisns.

Some slaves worked as servants in the houses of their owners. They went to get water from the public fountains. Men worked taking care of horses, or as handymen or gardeners. Men went to the market to do the shopping every day.Some poor slaves worked on ships. They were kept down in the bottom of the ship and never saw the sun, and they were given bread and water to eat, and were beaten to make them pull the oars harder. Most men who worked as rowers didn’t live very long.

The worst job was mining for silver. It was mixed with lead and the slaves were poisoned and died.
Athens
If there was an important decision to be made the citizens voted to decide what to do. Only men were citizens, women were not so were not allowed to vote. Every year 500 citizens from the population were chosen to be on the ruling council.

My Greek Project 2
Greek Food
Greek people believed that food had a lot of religious meaning. They did not eat meat unless it had been sacrificed to a God or had been hunted in the wild. They did not think it was right to kill and eat tame animals that they kept at home without sacrificing it to the gods first.

They grew their own vegetables, mostly beans, peas and lentils.
The ancient Greeks ate a lot of fish, probably because they did not like to sacrifice animals.
They also drank a lot of wine.
Theatre
The Greek people invented lots of things that are still a part of many peoples’ lives to day, including the theatre. They were built of stone and looked like lots of curved steps. They could seat up to 10000 people.

Rich people had to pay the wages of the actors who performed the plays in the theatre.
My Greek Project
Olympic Games
Olympic games the Olympic Games were first held in 776 BC that was 2782 years ago, in the ancient Greek times. The games only lasted one day at first, then it grew to 5 days.

The first Olympic Games were held at Olympia. The old stadium could hold 40000 people. The winners got an olive tree crown on their heads.

The first games were
Discus
Long jump
Shot put
Javelin
Boxing
Horse riding

The marathon race which is a 26 mile run did not exist in ancient Greece. It was not started until 1896.
All men who were not slaves were allowed to take part in the games. Women were not allowed to take part. Married women were not even allowed to watch.
