10 The Greek key pattern has been used throughout history and in many places. Since it is a simple geometric pattern, it isn't surprising that so many people have used it. The ancient Greeks certainly used it, as carvings on their temples, and on their pottery. Various claims have been made for what a Greek key means. There may be a connection with the labyrinth where Theseus fought the Minotaur.. Other suggested meanings are stylised waves, snakes, symbolizing the bonds of love, friendship and devotion, eternal life, the four cardinal points, the meander of life, creative energy, the four seasons, etc..

22 Athens & Sparta Created by: Tim Ramsey

23 Athens and Sparta A Contrast in Cultures
Although these city states were only 300 miles apart, their cultures were vastly different in many ways. Three of those are the treatment of children, women in society, and customs.

24 Child Upbringing in Athens
Boys were taught by their mothers until age seven and then sent to a day school. Other than reading, writing, and math, they were educated in the arts, government, and drama. They also learned how to play a lyre. At eighteen, they entered military school for two additional years. They were taught how to be a good citizen of Athens and have good morals. Boys in Athens had to learn about Plato (above) and Socrates (right)

25 Child Upbringing in Sparta
Once a son was seven years old, he was taken from his mother to go to military school. At military school, they trained to be a disciplined warrior. School courses were very painful and difficult. They were taught the very basics of reading and writing, but warfare was the only thing that mattered to the Spartans. The boys weren’t fed well and were taught to steal –but were punished if they were caught. Spartans thought that any kind of luxury made a person spoiled, so they did not believe in entertainment or comfort. Their food was bland and their clothes were plain. The boys had to live in barracks away from their family. They lived apart until the age of sixty.

26 Women in Athens and Sparta
Athens—Women could not own property. Sparta—Girls were taught wrestling, gymnastics and combat skills. Sparta—If she passed the test for strength, she was allowed to be a citizen. Athens—Women were only a small step above slaves. Athens—women were not citizens and were under their husband’s authority. Sparta—Since their husbands didn’t live at home, the women enjoyed a great deal of freedom. Athens & Sparta—Marriages were arranged by the father of the bride. Sparta—women could not wear jewelry, make-up, or colored clothing.

27 Weird Customs 1. Spartan babies were washed in wine.
5. In Athens, a naked father carried his newborn around the house in a ritual dance. 2. If Spartan infants were not strong enough then they were thrown over a cliff. 6. Parents in Athens considered their children “youths” until the age of thirty. 3. Spartan boys marched without shoes to make them strong. 4. In Sparta when a woman was married, her head was shaved and was made to wear men’s clothing until the ceremony was over.

28 Conclusion Although Sparta did not produce much art or philosophy or any written work, but its people were admired for keeping alive the Greek values Athens was famous for its literature, poetry, drama, theater, government, ( our own government is modeled after it ) and producing the world’s greatest thinkers. It is clearly the shining star of all the Greek city-states.
