The 2004 Summer Olympic Games, officially known as the Games of the XXVIII Olympiad, were a premier international multi-sport event held in Athens, Greece, from 13 to 29 August 2004 with the motto Welcome Home. 10,625 athletes competed, some 600 more than expected, accompanied by 5,501 team officials from 201 countries. There were 301 medal events in 28 different sports. Athens 2004 marked the first time since the 1996 Summer Olympics that all countries with a National Olympic Committee were in attendance. It was also the first time since 1896 (other than the since-downgraded 1906 Intercalated Games) that the Olympics were held in Greece. A new medal obverse was introduced at these Games, replacing the design by Giuseppe Cassioli that had been used since the 1928 Games. This rectified the long lasting mistake of using a depiction of the Roman Colosseum rather than a Greek venue. The new design features the Panathinaiko Stadium. The 2004 summer games were hailed as "unforgettable, dream games" by IOC president Jacques Rogge, and left Athens with a significantly improved infrastructure, including a new airport, ring road, and subway system. However the costs of staging the games have left the host country in a precarious financial6 T H P R I MA R Y S C H O O L , N E A I O N I A , S U N D A Y , D E C E MB E R 1 6 ,A T H E Nsituation.

The Parthenon is a temple on the Athenian Acropolis, Greece, dedicated to the maiden goddess Athena, whom the people of Athens considered their patron. Its construction began in 447 BC when the Athenian Empire was at the height of its power. The architects, Ictinos and Callicrates, began in 447 BC, and the building was substantially completed by 432, but work on the decorations continued until at least 431. It is the most important surviving building of Classical Greece, generally considered the culmination of the development of the Doric order. Its decorative sculptures are considered some of the high points of Greek art. The Parthenon is regarded as an enduring symbol of Ancient Greece and of ancient democracy and one of the worlds greatest cultural monuments. The Greek Ministry of Culture is currently carrying out a program of selective restoration and reconstruction to ensure the stability of the partially ruined6 T H P R I MA R Y S C H O O L , N E A I O N I A ,ATHENS, GREECE S U N D A Y , D E C E MB E R 1 6 ,201237 38.

ARISTOTLE6 T H P R I MA R Y S C H O O L , N E A I O N I A , S U N D A Y , D E C E MB E R 1 6 ,ATHENS, GREECE201246 47. Aristotle (384 BC 322 BC) was a Greek philosopher and polymath, a student of Plato and teacher of Alexander the Great. His writings cover many subjects, including physics, metaphysics, poetry, theater, music, logic, rhetoric, linguistics, politics, government, ethics, biology, and zoology. Together with Plato and Socrates (Platos teacher), Aristotle is one of the most important founding figures in Western philosophy. Aristotles writings were the first to create a comprehensive system of Western philosophy, encompassing morality, aesthetics, logic, science, politics, and metaphysics.6 T H P R I MA R Y S C H O O L , N E A I O N I A ,S U N D A Y , D E C E MB E R 1 6 ,ATHENS, GREECE 201247 48. 6 T H P R I MA R Y S C H O O L , N E A I O N I A , S U N D A Y , D E C E MB E R 1 6 ,ATHENS, GREECE201248 49. 6 T H P R I MA R Y S C H O O L , N E A I O N I A , S U N D A Y , D E C E MB E R 1 6 ,ATHENS, GREECE201249 50. In the Western classical tradition, Homer is the author of the Iliad and the Odyssey, and is revered as the greatest of ancient Greek epic poets. These epics lie at the beginning of the Western canon of literature, and have had an enormous influence on the history of literature. When he lived is unknown. Herodotus estimates that Homer lived 400 years before Herodotus own time, which would place him at around 850 BC, while other ancient sources claim that he lived much nearer to the supposed time of the Trojan War, in the early 12th century BC. Modern researchers appear to place Homer in the 7th or 8th centuries BC. The formative influence played by the Homeric epics in shaping Greek culture was widely recognized, and Homer was described as the teacher of Greece. Homers works, which are about fifty percent speeches, provided models in persuasive speaking and writing that were emulated throughout the ancient and medieval Greek worlds. Fragments of Homer account for nearly half of all identifiable Greek literary papyrus finds.6 T H P R I MA R Y S C H O O L , N E A I O N I A , S U N D A Y , D E C E MB E R 1 6 ,ATHENS, GREECE201250 51.

Easter or the Pasch or (among Eastern Orthodox) Pascha is aChristian festival and holiday celebrating the resurrection ofJesus Christ on the third day after his crucifixion at Calvary asdescribed in the New Testament.

The New Testament teaches that the resurrection of Jesus, which Easter celebrates, is a foundation of the Christian faith. The resurrection established Jesus as the powerful Son of God and is cited as proof that God will judge the world in righteousness. God has given Christians "a new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead". Christians, through faith in the working of God are spiritually resurrected with Jesus so that they may walk in a new way of life.6 T H P R I MA R Y S C H O O L , N E A I O N I A , S U N D A Y , D E C E MB E R 1 6 ,ATHENS, GREECE201260 61. 6 T H P R I MA R Y S C H O O L , N E A I O N I A , S U N D A Y , D E C E MB E R 1 6 ,ATHENS, GREECE201261 62.
