Debate Conclution
In conclution we talked about Gods and Goddesses, that the Greeks created them because about their believes. The Gods had virtues and vices like Nemeses, she made justice with the men that were unfaithful with women.
Also women could participate at the olympic games but only between them and they weren't very important to Greeks, but most of the time they used women to have childen.
We took many things from the Greek culture that they created, like the astronomy, politics, philosophy, matematics, arquitecture, things we use now days and are important to our daily life.
