Combining history, art and RE!

Greek Temples
After finding out about Greek Gods we wondered about how and why people in Ancient Greece worshipped their gods. 
In Ancient Greece people worshipped different gods for different purposes. They would offer gifts and sacrifices in order to please the Gods.
The Ancient Greeks liked to have everything balanced and mathematically proportioned.
All columns were equally spaced, temples were rectangular and had many mathematical patterns.


This is a model of Zeus.  Huge statues of him were built in some temples.  You can tell it's Zeus from the lightening bolt in his hand.
