Greece Review

The part of Greece that contains Thessalonika is Thrace. Persians come from Thrace into Macedonia. They travel through Greece and stop in Thermopylae. The Greek hold the Persians off long enough for the people to escape from the city. The Perians went to the Acropolis of Athens and burned it. The Athenians rebuilt the Acropolis they had received from the League of Athens. The Persians battled the Athenians at Salamis and the Athenians prevail, pushing the Persians back to their home city.
The wall of the Acropolis was constructed from things left over after the Persians destroyed it. The Theatre of Dionysus is in front of the Acropolis. The Temple of Athena Nike is at the entrance of the Acropolis. Past that is the top of the Acropolis.
The Parthenon is the most important piece of Doric architecture ever made. The roof of the Parthenon was blown off during a war by an explosion. The Parthenon was the center of the city. It was the Temple of  Athena.
