Herodotus: Must use evidence Analyze why (human behavior) “Ancient Greece was a powerful civilization under the leadership of Athens that left a lasting legacy on Western culture”?

“Ancient” 3000 BCE= earliest (Minoan, Mycanean) 2000 BCE = Greek Speaking, Acheans “Trojan War”, c. 1250 BCE “Dark Ages” 750-359 BCE = “Hellenic Greece” Persian Wars (c. 500 BCE) Battle of Marathon Battle of Salamis “Golden Age” = (477-431BCE) under Pericles Pelopponesian Wars (431-404 BCE): Athens loses to Sparta and Pelop. League Philip II, Alexander the Great = Empire (359-323BCE) Hellenistic Greece Rome!!

“Greece”

“Greece” N: Macedonia S: Peloponnesus Islands, incl. Crete Mts. No rivers 25% arable POLIS: “city-state” (highest pt = acropolis) Location: close to everything (trade, Egypt, Persian, Rome)

“Powerful” Phalanx= foot soldiers Defeated Persian Empire Athens: Marathon (“Nike”) (against Darius) Sparta: Salamis (movie “300”) (against Xerxes)

“Civilization” Definition of “Civilization”: highly advanced state of human society in which a high level of art, science, religion, and government has been achieved.

“Advanced State of Human Society” ART: idealized (vs. Roman = realistic) Sculpture Architecture (columns) SCIENCE RELIGION Mythology Drama (Comedy, Tragedy)

Civ’n: “High level of govt:” Democracy: Draco: Law Solon: Popular Reforms Cleisthenes: Athenian Assembly Pericles: Direct Democracy Polis: organized around city-state All citizens could vote (citizen?)

“Under the leadership of Athens”: Sparta may have won the Pelopponesian wars, but Mind + body Curiosity, free discussion Military (too many slaves) “Spartan life” – strict, brutal discipline “Laconic” answers Little art or lit. “Best fighters in the world”

“Under Athens” Delian League YES NO Delian League Peloponnesian League – Athens loses empire by 404 BCE Philip II of Macedonia and son, Alexander the Great = empire (334-323 BCE) Greece + Egypt + Persia = “Hellenistic culture” Science! Astronomy!

That left a lasting legacy…. I will defer to Socrates’ method of teaching in this instance…..my peers?

“Greece has conquered the conqueror” Legacy…. “Greece has conquered the conqueror” Alexander the Great? Rome?

Perhaps greatest legacies = Philosophers “Philos” = love “Soph” = knowledge/learning
