- 5. Which (or how many) elements are included? What does it represent? Why? (Include bibliography) Number of sections One section The shield is the only section represents the protection and the strong of Greece and the strong of their people . Children were children of the state more than of their parents. They were raised to be soldiers, loyal to the state, strong and self-disciplined. http://www.historywiz.com/didyouknow/sparta nfamily.htm Chosen Colors The basic colors are Green ,blue ,red and brown. We choose blue because its in Greece flag, blue also symbolizes peace. Green represents eternal life like the one the gods will give to the greeks. Brown represents the ideas of earth, hearth, home, the outdoors, comfort, endurance. Red represents life and vitality. We choose this color because its what in our point of view based on what we studied represents greece . http://www.three- musketeers.net/mike/colors.html. Symbols Internal The internal elements include a sword and a spear crossing at the middle, a helmet above the phrase, and a cross at the center. The spear represents the military side of the Greeks, their victory over enemies. The sword represents the Greeks advances in weapons over their enemies. The cross is a reference to the actual Greek flag. The helmet represents the Greek soldier´s value and courage to defend his empire. A Greek infantryman’s main battle weapon was the spear, the spear enabled the heavily armored hoplites, or infantrymen, to stand together and protect each other. The most successful sword design of the Ancient World was developed by the Greeks, who were ostensibly spearmen. The helmet was an indispensable part of the amour, almost every soldier in Ancient Greek paintings got one. The actual Greek flag has a cross because of their Orthodox Church. http://alexandros.com/grflag.html http://www.weapons-universe.com/Swords/Ancient_Greek_Weapons.shtml External There are two basic external elements, the olive wreath surrounding the shield, and the phrase below the helmet. The phrase is one of Socrates' sayings and so it represents the Figure of Socrates as a Greek symbol. The olive wreath represents glory and triumph of the Greek civilization. Socrates was one of the Greek philosophers who left the foundation for Western philosophy , and this makes him an important Geek figure. The olive wreath was the maximum prize given by Greeks to the winners of the Olympic Games, so it was seen as a symbol of victory and greatness. http://www.liza-kliko.com/laurel-wreath/greece.htm http://www.ancientgreece.com/s/People/Socrates/ http://www.angelfire.com/crazy2/gabylopez/thoughts.html
