cyber day 11

We have studied ancient Greece
All aspects of it
From the beautiful architecture
That time fails to terminate
To the almighty gods
Who the people worshiped infinity
We observed great philosophers
Such as Aristotle and Plato
Who promoted open thinking
Who were punished for making the world better
We studied great Greek wars
Peloponnesian and Persian
The great efforts put forth by the 300
And Pheidippides
We studied all this and more

2b. Recently, I watched the movie "Wolf of Wall Street" (Great movie by the way).  This movie could be considered both a comedy and tragedy, but it is mainly comedy.  Many modern productions can be considered a comedy or a tragedy, just like the Ancient Greek productions.

This theatre looks really functional,  but not that comfortable.  looks like it took a decent  amount of time to build.  looks carved out of the hill that it is in
