What are the greeks "wooden walls"

History
1 answer:
Verdich [7]3 years ago
4 0

The Persian army advanced through Attica and entered Athens.The Delphie oracle had said that Athens would he kept safe by her “wooden walls” and a few diehards, refusing to take part in the evacuation, remained behind a wooden barricade on the Acropolis. They learned too late that they had misinterpreted the oracle.Their resistance was overcome and Xerxes burned Athens. Themistocles and his sailors could now be sure that their ships were the only “wooden walls” which stood between the Athenians and annihilation.Unfortunately, although Athens had supplied by far the largest number of ships (180) to the Greek fleet, the admiral-n-chief was a Spartan. Athens had not yet the prestige to persuade other states to serve under her.At sea, as on land, a Spartan had to be in charge.

PLEEEAAAASE HELP!!!!<br>What is one example of a comittee in Congress and how does it work?
Nina [5.8K]
Committees in Congress are tasked with a specific element of American society to study, organize, or provide information on. One of the standing (aka permanent) committees is the Joint Committee on Taxation. This committee consists of members of both the House of Representatives and the Senate. In this committee, members from both parts of Congress meet in order to try to simplify the tax code and investigation the operation/effectiveness of the internal revenue taxes. These individuals work together to accomplish these goals and possibly change a current tax related structure so that it could be simpler.
