Sonce their land was not fertile they relied on trade for the economy and means of getting supplies. They also set up a trading outpost in North Africa called Carthage. An important thing they traded was dyes. The Phoenicians were famous for their purple dye. They also traded glass and had many techniques to make it, they were the first to develop transparent glass. Textiles were also another important trade item. They also were great at navigating around the seas.

Sparta Links: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sparta http://www.wsu.edu/~dee/GREECE/SPARTA.HTM http://www.sikyon.com/sparta/history_eg.html Sparta was a power in Peloponessus, and they were unmatched in land combat. Most information about Sparta is negative, this is because most of the information was written down by the Greeks. Greece was an enemy of Sparta. The Spartan society was military based. At birth the newborns were examined and the elders decided if the children were strong enough for Sparta. Since Saprta's was so military focused the schools taught things about the military and fighting.they did not have as much art or other ornamental objects, in their spare time they most likely would be training.

 Sparta wasn't an enemy of Greece because Sparta is part of Greece. Sparta was enemies with Athen's becuase Athen's relocated the treasury of the Delian League to Athens and was abusing its power. Sparta is on the Peloponessus Peninsula which is why it may not be considered to be part of Greece. On the map the Peninsula is to the right of the words Ionian Sea. http://home.swipnet.se/~w-63448/grekhist4.htm

Questions: Why did the sculptures poses change over long periods of time? Why did only the Greeks want to promte unity? What happened that made the sculptors change the way of facial expressions and bodies?

King Minos was the king of Crete, and evrey one year, or every nine, a victim would have to be put in the[|labyrinth]for a sacrifice to the minotaur. Then the son of King Ageus, Theseus was used as a a sacrifice. However his father had a plan, if Theseus survived he would raise a white flag on the boat. So he went to Crete, and he got a special ball of string from King Minos's daughter. When he traveled in the maze the ball of of string lead him first to the minotaur, which he killed, then the string lead him to the eaxit. However when he left the maze he forgot to raise the white flag. When his father saw the ship's flags he killed himself.
