1. Okay, seriously. Read some of the textbook and you'll do fine. Here... 1. decipher the word "megalithic" and you should have the answer you seek. Remember that "lith" translates to STONE. 2. The Greeks invented beauty as an ideal. Consider that statement, use our dictionary if you have to in order to understand the importance of "ideals" with regards to "realism". 3. Consider the funeral sites found at Mycenae and the gold items discovered there. 4. Use Wikipedia or some other reference to look up the word "peplos". That will answer the question for you. 5. It's been so long, I can't remember this one. I have to look it up, so you should to. I hate it when people just ask for fish instead of making the effort to learn how to fish themselves.
