    Greece is not a city state it is a country instead.
    Each city-state ruled itself. They differed greatly from each other in governing philosophies and interests. They used sun-dried mud bricks. Unfortunately, their walls weren’t very strong. It was common for houses to crumble into pieces and most had to be rebuilt.
    Stylus- pointed instrument for writing and marking.
    Palaestra- gymnasium
    Tablet- used to ask the gods, place spirits, or the deceased to perform an action on a person or object, or otherwise compel the subject of the curse.
    Lyre- The kithara, an instrument of the lyre family, had seven strings of equal length and a solidly built, wooden body, usually with a flat base.

    Have you ever heard of Ancient Greece? It’s a really cool place where people used to live a long time ago. They built amazing temples and buildings like the Acropolis and the Temple of Olympian Zeus. And do you know a mind-blowing fact? They had their own Olympic Games!
    Imagine walking through the same places where ancient people used to walk, and learning about how they lived. You can try delicious Greek food, dance to music, and participate in special events

    Going to Ancient Greece will be like going back in time awesome adventure. I think it would be so much fun to learn about their history and culture.
    why don’t you go there now?

    Hii
    My name is larin I’m from Ancient Greek .
    I live with a family of 5 .I’m not allowed to go to the Olympics but only my dad can go because my dad said it’s not safe for my mummy but she has to take care of me .I have to work at home whilst my brother avan has to go school , I wonder how fun it is .My mother is a full time mum and my dad is a farmer and he grows sweetcorn , potatoes , pineapple etc but the birds eat our crops but I remember my best day was when I made a sarecow , scarcow sorry I’m not good at my English after all I do not go school so some words are hard for me to pronounce I meant scarecrow .

    My brother always brings me back reports about school but here is one story . Once he had to skin a lamb just for a Lyre he said its sary but I think it is fun people say boys are stronger but girls are stronger here we are not afraid of anything and anyone .

    I hope I get to be famous and change the rules but I think for now writing a diary is enough .
    I tried my best with this and I hope you guys enjoyed my work and I hope you pick me .
