    There are many breath taking examples of Roman influence on many American monuments. A good example of this is the U.S. Supreme Court building in Washington. This building was designed by Cass Gilbert and built in 1935. Its design is directly based on the Roman Temple design including the characteristics of raised podiums and a formal front staircase.

This story is about a man named Odysseus who fought to save his life. Suffering from bitter days and nights. Trying to get his shipmates home. Although Odysseus couldn’t save them, for their own recklessness destroyed each and every one of them. Acting as children and fools, they feasted on the cattle of the Sun God Helios.
