Hello, I would like to notify you that the second in question number four should say Greek and not Greece (or at least I believe it would make more sense if it said Greek) I'm also aware that these are small mistakes but in question number three and four there are two links that are repeated. Aside from that, I agree that I enjoy the Webquest to some length and that your effort is well appreciated!

Thanks for noticing that I put Greece instead of Greek!!!!!
The reason why I put two links that were the same was because it had information for both questions 3and 4. :)
