Greek Philosophy & Myth

On Tuesday 22nd, Sept. we looked at the ways in which the Greeks tried to understand the world around them. First, we looked at the philosophers such as Socrates and Plato. Then we discussed the power of myth and how it is used to also try and understand the world. If you were absent, you will need to do the following to make up what you missed:
