Plebeians VS. patricians

the main differences between plebeians and patricians is that Patricians were the upper class so were wealthy ad most likely more educated specifically in reading and writing. Plebeians were the middle class or commoners so they did not have nearly as much wealth and were most likely not educated in reading and writing but more in their specific craft. Also the Plebeians make up the majority of the population while the Patricians much lesser of the population. The Patricians held most of the power and governmental positions in Rome oppressing the Plebeians. The patricians inherited their money and power while the plebeians were the ancestors on commoners.

The Greek versions of the Patricians would be the Philosophers and royalty of Greece bc. they were more educated and most were wealthier then the average Greek citizen. Aslo the royalty inherited most of their positions, and they make up few of the population. 
The Greek versions of the Plebeians did not have any special names they were just the commoners who had special crafts. The were the majority of the population and were not as educated as the philosophers or royalty. Aslo the majority of commoners were born from commoners.

Greek Architecture

This is the temple of Hera the Greek goddess of marriage and queen of the gods in Olympia . It was built in 590 and is believed to have been built with wood and replaced with stone later. The temple has 16 columns and  was destroyed by an earthquake in the fourth century.  This is a sculpture of Athene in the Parthenon. You can tell it is her by her shield with a snake on it and an owl at her side. She is the patron Goddess of Athens and the Parthenon was partially built to honor her. It was mainly built to establish Athenians and Greeks s great architects and built them a reputation for that  during the beautification of Athens.
