Document Summary
The late classical period (c. 400 - 323 bce) Athens loses its strength after the spartans defeat them. Everyone in athens just lived through a war, they"re looking to the gods and the gods are not answering. Humans are held at a higher status/more god-like. Alexander the great dies in 323 bce. Mausolus had a huge impact on the asian minor through trade. Tomb completed by mausolus" widow (who was also his sister - it"s weird) 150 feet tall (with a 24 foot roof) Stautes of fighting soldiers, tons of lions, chariot on the very top, statues of significant family members. One of the wonders of the ancient world. Mixed egypitan and greek ideas of architecture. Statue of mausolus (not on info sheet) Wavy hair indicates that he isn"t from greece. Tribute to mausolus, not for the afterlife. Hermes and the infant dionysos (from olympia)
