3/22

Today in class we continued watching the movie. Perciles than took over reigns of Athens. The first thing he did when he was leader was to make a monument on the Acropolis. The monument took 15 years to make. He also made a major mistake. He wanted to wage war with Sparta. He proposed the idea to the Athenians whom agreed to the war. He came up with the idea that he should not attack on the land because the Spartans armies were more powerful on land so he chose to fight them at sea.
