This popular event was originally created by the Greeks in honor of the gods. It was so important that truces were made and wars were paused in order for it to happen. Today, while a worldwide truce doesn't happen, the Olympics happens pretty consistently and has almost never been postponed or canceled. It is a worldwide event that millions watch and follow.
In honor of the god Dionysus, the Greeks had two major genres, comedy and tragedy. There were only male actors and only 2-3 per play. Today, the theatre has influenced many forms of entertainment, including TV shows, movies, operas, plays, and Broadway.
This big machine is generally used in the construction business and is important for moving big things. Some of the most famous buildings may not have been in existence if not for the invention of the crane!
The Greeks figured out a way to tell time even when the sun was not out when they invented the water clock. Based on this principle of counting down only a small amount of time in increments, clocks have become the electronic numbers on a screen we see today, a big improvement from looking at a container full of water to tell time!
