Language and Religion

What is the most important event in the Ancient World?

Development of the Greek Alphabet Greek: First alphabet with the ability to write in full phonetic detail Phoenician Alphabet Greek Alphabet What is the most important event in the ancient world?

Less ambiguity History, laws, business (all improved) More democratic Empowered many classes of people (intuitive and easy to learn) Easy recording of details Scientific thinking (more precise) Subtleties can be expressed Philosophy More creative Literature (more expressive) Why was the Greek alphabet better? ∑ Ω ß ∆ V K α ∏

Homer Blind Recited and it was recorded Created the Illiad and the Odyssey Began the western literary tradition Mythical beginnings for Greek history A unifying force for the Greek people Became a “religious” document Quest for areté (aristocracy, excellence, virtue, fulfillment of purpose) Solidified the Epic genre

Epics Larger than life in scope and meaning Long story with many events over many years Heroes and often gods Wrestle with problems and also with life Lessons that can apply to everyone in many periods of time

Illiad Hector pleads with Achilles “I beg you, Achilles, by your own soul and by your parents, do not allow the dogs to mutilate my body...” And Achilles, fixing him with a stare, “Don’t whine to me about my parents, you dog! I wish my stomach would let me cut off your flesh in strips and eat it raw for what you’ve done to me. There is no one and no way to keep the dogs off your head.”

Achilles and Priam

Illiad Quote from Zeus “How foolish men are! It is their lot to suffer, but because of their own folly they bring upon themselves sufferings over and above what is fated for them. And then they blame the gods.”

Another way of determining proper behavior: Religion Theogony by Hesiod (700 BC) Traces the descent of the gods (myths) Greek Gods Separate race from humans Immortal characteristics Did not give patterns for moral behavior Art and literature—method of finding purpose of life

Chaos GaeaTartarusErosErebus Uranus + Gaea MountainsPontus CyclopeHecatonchires Cronus (Saturn) + Rhea Coeus + Phoebe Oceanus + Tethys Hestia Hades (Pluto) Poseidon (Neptune) Zeus (Jupiter) + Hera (Juno) Demeter (Ceres) + Zeus AresHebe Hephaistos (Vulcan) Athena (Minerva) (no mother) Persephone (Proserpina) Leto + Zeus Iapetus AtlasPrometheusEpimetheus Maia + Zeus Dione + Zeus Apollo Artemis (Diana) Hermes (Mercury) Aphrodite (Venus) The Gods

Greek Religion versus Literature Greek religion did not have a god that acted in the “true” method of living. Greeks adopted the lifestyle of the Homeric heroes as their standard. Homer’s works became the “scriptures” of the Greeks.

Religion—Delphi Seeking advice from an oracle: Another way of determining proper behavior. Looking up at the temple of Apollo. Looking down across the valley.

Delphi 5 th century onwards–a priestess was abducted to serve in Apollo’s temple. Priestess purified herself in a spring. Priestess entered sanctuary of Apollo. Priestess inhaled vapors that caused her to fall into a trance and she muttered. Priest interpreted her unintelligible words.
