Chapter 7 Ancient Greece Song
You take the Minoans / On the island of Crete
They were seafaring traders / They were peaceful and sweet
They traded olive oil, wool, and pottery.
That’s what they’re all about! –(clap).
Chorus:
Tragedies are serious
Comedies are humorous,
Democracy is for us,
Greek culture is all about us! -(Clap, Clap).
You take the Mycenaeans / On the mountainous peloponnesus
They were a warlike people / Their wealth was a weapon census.
They borrowed writing, customs, and religious beliefs.
When they invaded Crete. –(clap).
They tell of Homer’s epic poem / about the beautiful Helen,
Who was kidnapped to Troy / all the Greeks started yelling.
They fought for ten years, then tried the Trojan horse trick
That’s the only way they could win. –(clap).
Sung to the tune of the Hokey Pokey
The city-state of Sparta / was afraid of their slaves.
So at seven boys & girls / left for camp with many a waves
To live and die with honor was the Spartan way
Obedience is what it’s all about. –(clap).
Chorus:
Tragedies are serious
Comedies are humorous,
Democracy is for us,
Greek culture is all about us! -(Clap, Clap).
In the city-state of Athens / 20 year old males could vote,
But no women or slaves. / They could only carry and tote.
Democracy, majority rule, Pericles, and Herodotus.
Hippocrates says illness is all about us. –(clap).
The Persians set out / to conquer everything in sight,
But the Greeks wouldn’t give up / and united for a fight.
Both Darius and son, Xerxes both did try.
Many Persians had to die. –(clap).
Alexander’s father died / so Macedonia wasn’t so great.
To conquer the known world / would be Alexander’s fate.
Around the Mediterranean he never lost a battle.
Spreading Greek culture all about. –(clap)
Sung to the tune of the Hokey Pokey
