Composition 2

Before reading Hersey I did not have the knowledge that the Greek culture practiced sacrifices and carnivorous acts. As seeing the ritual of the whole sacrifice in how the willing human sacrifice would preform certain dances and quarantine themselves in the ritual process, by incapacitating themselves with a circle. This circle represented the separation of them and the people around them, no longer where they original people, but now they where a sacrifice to the gods. The sacrifices were human and animal. The animal would like the human have a ornament around its neck that symbolized wealth. Therefore the Greeks would build temples and with these temples they would construct columns, the columns would represent the sacrifices to the god of that temple. The ionic column for example has a capital of scroll like ornamentation. The scroll represents the hair that is cute off the sacrifice and placed into the fire for the gods. The Capital of each column also represents the head of the sacrifice, where the base with coll like molding, appears like rope, represent the bondage of the sacrifices feet.This is a type of permanent sacrifice unto the god of gods of a temple.
