The Greeks were all about showing excellence? How does this show up in their art? What changes for the Hellenistic period?

Hellenistic artists copied and adapted earlier styles, and also made great innovations. Representations of Greek gods took on new forms (1996.178; 11.55). The popular image of a Aphrodite, for example, reflects the increased secularization of traditional religion.

one of the major compromises in the constitutional convention was between the small states and big states. the small states wanted each state to have the same number of representatives in congress. the big states wanted representation based on population.
