2.
The goal in which Pericles made the greatest impact on the modern world was the goal of strengthening Athenian democracy. I chose this because the United States has democracy in it so by Pericles   going through challenged of strengthening it and making laws, the U.S. can look back at this and learn.

3. To strengthen democracy in Athens, Pericles increased the number of public officials who were paid salaries, battles were fought, they organized different leagues and Laws were vote upon.

5. Some Athenians most likely found Socrates disturbing because of the way rethought. Socrates thought that people should question their inner selves and he shared that thought with other people and some of those people thought he was crazy. He once said, "The unexamined life is not worth living." That basically says that if you dont question your life/se;f, then you aren't worth living...

The Pantheon was made based of the Doric order, which was a popular way to make buildings in Ancient Greece. The Parthenon was a building dedicated to the goddess of Athens, Athena. Before that it was a former Athenian Acropolis. As the Athenian empire was at its peak in 447 BCE that's when the construction started on this building.

There was also the neolithic age know as the new Stone Age. During the prehistoric are there was the agricultural revolution.
