<span style="color: rgb(10, 92, 245)"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">Minoan Art has a variety of styles, kind, and techniques. This includes pottery, paintings, sculptures, and works with metal. The Minoan society is told through art, instead of laws, or things written down. The art tells us that the society was of cheerful nature, and the people were very connected with the environment. The people also had a lot of self-respect, and they observe and adapt to their environment well. Like all societies, the art had its highest point during a certain time. The highest points were during the Neopalatial period. Its decline was during <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"> the Postpalatial period. Each different technique has different styles of art. Pottery had a different style than painting and metal work, and etc. Pottery was often inspired by nature, and created with curves. The paintings very influenced from Egyptians, they painted mostly people. Sculptures were also mainly of people, but they were dedicated to the Gods. Metal work consisted of many different techniques. Although, one thing they all had in common was that they all had some kind of Egyptian influence. Art mattered in every place, it always had a purpose. Each purpose is different though. For example, in palaces art was built or made to serve organizational purposes instead of illustrating artistic talent. <span style="color: rgb(0, 48, 255)"> ===<span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)"><span style="color: rgb(0, 102, 255)"><span style="color: rgb(241, 14, 139)"><span style="color: rgb(61, 162, 235)"><span style="color: rgb(242, 13, 134)"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="color: rgb(24, 71, 231)"><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0)">November 8, 2008          === <span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif"><span style="font-family: Verdana,Geneva,sans-serif">Topic: Athens VS.

The Athens spent time enjoying life and living, while the Spartans were completely focused on military. Athens had high trade that made them very wealthy. They also had a slave-based economy. Although, Athens still had a strong navy, but its strength was on sea, not on land.

In the beginning, the [|Olympic games] were a part of a religious festival that was honoring Zeus (God). The festival included games, like the [|torch relay], that later became games in the modern Olympics. The festivals were held in [|Olympia], which was located in the western Peloponnesos. In this festival, the athletes of the festival were all male. Male athletes normally rain nude in the late 8th century. The Ancient Olympic Games began in 776 BC. The station race, a foot race that was 600 feet long, was the only game for more than 10 years. What is an important game in the Olympics now was not during the Ancient times. The [|marathon] first took place during the Olympics in Athens, 1896. The common distance of the Marathon is 26 miles long. The Olympics that was held in Athens was the first modern Olympics.
