The early philosophers were interested in THE ORIGINS AND THE MAIN ELEMENT OF THE MATERIAL WORLD. (but they did believe that the world had DIVINE origins)

How did Heraclitus explain Homer ’ s portrayal of divine laughter in the episode featuring the gods laughing at Hephaestus? THE GODS WERE CHEERFUL, KNOWING IN ADVANCE THAT THE UNION OF LOVE AND WAR WILL PRODUCE HARMONY OR THROUGH ALLEGORIES

According to Democritus, the state of cheerfulness (EUTHYMIA) could be achieved through MODERATION PURPOSEFUL LIFE INDEPENDENCE FROM FORTUNE INDEPENDENCE FROM DESIRE (name one way out of four mentioned in class)

Why could the Socratic sense of humor be thought similar to that of the Sophists? BOTH USED HUMOR AS MEANS OF PERSUASION

PART 2 Hymn: Keep silence all, and hear my prayer. O lord, O boundless air, On whom the earth supported floats, And Ether bright, hear these my notes; And you who send the thunder loud Almighty Goddess of Cloud, Behold your thinker waiting here: Arise and in the sky appear!

Which play does this passage come from? The Clouds Who is the speaker?

What are the implications of this passage for the plot of the play? What light does it shed on the speaker and on the source of his ethical attitude?

With what philosophical school is the speaker and by extension his teacher assimilated? It this assimilation historically accurate? Did it have any consequences in real life?
