plato

 

Plato was a ancient Greek philosopher and mathematician  that lived from 428/427 to 349/347 B.C.E. A few of his interests were art, literature, politics, education, and family. one of the ideas he is credited with is the theory of form which refers to the belief that the material world as it seems to us is not the real world, but only an "image" or "copy" of the real world. not much is know about Plato's earlier life but what we know is that he came from a very wealthy and political family so he could get a good education and was taught by some of the best in his era.

monday

Greece's location can effect their culture by providing them with what they need to survive, how they farm, if they are vulnerable to attack, and if the ground is stable to build cities.

the bodies of water that surround Greece are the Adriatic Sea, Aegean Sea, and the Mediterranean Sea. 

the large island to the south/southeast is Crete. 

Athens and Sparta are located pretty close to the sea and they are good ways apart
