But Greek gods and goddesses were notthought to be all-powerful According toGreek myths even though gods had specialpowers they looked like human beings andacted like them They married had childrenquarreled played tricks on each other andfought wars

Because Greeks sought their godsrsquo favorthey followed many rituals A ritual is a set ofactions carried out in a fixed way As part oftheir rituals the Greeks prayed to their godsand also gave them gifts In return theyhoped that the gods would grant good fortune to them Many Greek festivals hon-ored the gods and goddesses Festivals dedi-cated to Zeus were held at Olympia

The Greeks also believed in an afterlifeWhen people died the Greeks believed theirspirits went to a gloomy world beneath theearth ruled by a god named Hades

What Was a Greek Oracle The Greeksbelieved that each person had a fate or des-tiny They believed that certain events weregoing to happen no matter what they didThey also believed in prophecy A prophecyis a prediction about the future The Greeksbelieved that the gods gave prophecies topeople to warn them about the future intime to change it

To find out about the future manyGreeks visited an oracle (AWR bull uh bull kuhl)This was a sacred shrine where a priest or priestess spoke for a god or goddess Themost famous was the oracle at the Templeof Apollo at Delphi (DEHL bull FY) The oraclechamber was deep inside the temple Theroom had an opening in the floor where vol-canic smoke hissed from a crack in the earth

A priestess sat on a tripodmdasha three-legged stoolmdashin the oracle chamber and lis-tened to questions The priests translatedher answers State leaders or their messen-gers traveled to Delphi to ask advice fromthe oracle of Apollo

The priestess in the oracle often gaveanswers in riddles When one king namedCroesus (KREE bull suhs) sent messengers to theoracle at Delphi they asked if the kingshould go to war with the Persians The ora-cle replied that if Croesus attacked thePersians he would destroy a mighty empireOverjoyed to hear these words Croesusdeclared war on the Persians The Persianarmy crushed his army The mighty empireKing Croesus had destroyed was his own

Explain Why did theGreeks have rituals and festivals for their godsand goddesses

the characters of the best-loved stories in early Greece

Greek poems and stories are the oldestin the Western world For hundreds ofyears Europeans and Americans haveused these early works as models for theirown poems and stories Shakespeare forexample borrowed many Greek plots andsettings

The earliest Greek stories were epics (EH bull pihks) These long poems told about

heroic deeds The first great epics of earlyGreece were the Iliad and the Odyssey Thepoet Homer (HOH bullmuhr) wrote these epicsduring the 700s BC He based them on sto-ries of a war between Greece and the city ofTroy which once existed in what is todaynorthwestern Turkey

The Trojans thinking the horse was agift from the Greeks celebrate and roll thegiant horse into the city That night theGreek warriors quietly climb from thehorse and capture the city

The Odyssey tells the story of Odysseusanother Greek hero It describes his journeyhome from the Trojan War Odysseus facesstorms witches and giants before return-ing to his wife Because it took Odysseus 10years to get home we use the word odysseytoday to mean a long journey with manyadventures

Greeks believed the Iliad and theOdyssey were more than stories Theylooked on the epics as real history Thesepoems gave the Greeks an ideal past witha cast of heroes Generations of Greeksread Homerrsquos works One Athenian wroteldquoMy father was anxious to see me developinto a good man [so] he compelled meto memorize all of Homerrdquo

Homerrsquos stories taught courage andhonor They also taught that it was impor-tant to be loyal to your friends and to valuethe relationship between husband andwife The stories showed heroes striving tobe the best they could be Heroes fought toprotect their own honor and their familyrsquoshonor Homerrsquos heroes became role modelsfor Greek boys

Who Was Aesop About 550 BC a Greekslave named Aesop (EE bull SAHP) made up hisnow famous fables A fable (FAY bullbuhl) is ashort tale that teaches a lesson In most ofAesoprsquos fables animals talk and act likepeople These often funny stories point outhuman flaws as well as strengths Eachfable ends with a message or moral

One of the best-known fables is ldquoTheTortoise and the Harerdquo In this fable a tor-toise and a hare decide to race More than

halfway into the race the hare is way aheadHe stops to rest and falls asleep Meanwhilethe tortoise keeps going at a slow but steadypace and finally wins the race

The moral of the story is ldquoslow andsteady wins the racerdquo Some of the phraseswe hear today came from Aesoprsquos fablesldquoSour grapesrdquo ldquoa wolf in sheeprsquos clothingrdquoand ldquoappearances often are deceivingrdquo areexamples

For about 200 years Aesoprsquos fableswere a part of Greecersquos oral tradition Thismeans they were passed from person toperson by word of mouth long before theywere ever written down Since then count-less writers have retold the stories in manydifferent languages

HOMERc 750 BC

Homerrsquos epic poemsmdashthe Iliad and the

Odysseymdashare famous but until the 1900s

historians believed that Homer never existed

Historians now know Homer was a real person

but they still debate whether he wrote his

poems alone or with the help of other poets

Many historians have speculated or made

educated guesses about Homerrsquos personal life

Some say that Homer came from Ionia and

seven cities claim to be his birthplace Some

believe that he was blind Others believe

that he wandered from town to town

Legends tell of Homerrsquos strong

influence on his readers For example as a

young child Alexander the Great is said to

have slept with a copy of the Iliad under his

pillow

Homer used the term aoidos for a poet This word

means ldquosingerrdquo which tells us that the poetry created

during Homerrsquos time was memorized and recited not

written down Usually short simple poems that were

easy to remember were told to an audience as

entertainment

Homer created a different style of poetry that

influenced all Western literature that followed His

epics are long and involve complex characters dramatic

action and interesting events Because each section

of the Iliad and the Odyssey has these characteristics

most historians today think that only one poet

could have created both epics Whoever

Homer was his two epics have

influenced readers for more than

3000 years

What is drama (DRAH bullmuh) Drama is astory told by actors who pretend to becharacters in the story In a drama actorsspeak show emotion and imitate theactions of the characters they represent

Todayrsquos movies plays and televisionshows are all examples of drama

Tragedies and Comedies The Greeks per-formed plays in outdoor theaters as part oftheir religious festivals They developed twokinds of dramasmdashcomedies and tragedies

In a comedy (KAH bull muh bull dee) the storyends happily Today we use the word comedyto mean a story filled with humor The wordactually means any drama that has a happyending

Greek stories dealt with big questionssuch as

bull What is the nature of good and evilbull What rights should people havebull What role do gods play in our lives

The three best-known writers of Greektragedies were Aeschylus (EHS bull kuh bull luhs)Sophocles (SAH bull fuh bull KLEEZ) and Euripides(yu bull RIH bull puh bull DEEZ) The best-known writerof Greek comedies was Aristophanes (ar bulluh bullSTAH bull fuh bull NEEZ)

Early Greek tragedies had only one actorwho gave speeches and a chorus that sangsongs describing the events Aeschylus wasthe first to introduce the idea of having twoactors This let the writer tell a story involvingconflict between the two people Aeschylusalso introduced costumes props and stagedecorationsmdashall ideas we still use today

One of Aeschylusrsquos best-known plays is a group of three plays called the Oresteia(ohr bull eh bull STY bull uh) Aeschylus wrote theplays in 458 BC They describe what hap-pens when the king of Mycenae returnshome from the Trojan War The Oresteiateaches that evil acts cause more evil actsand suffering In the end however reasontriumphs over evil The moral of theseplays is that people should not seekrevenge

Sophocles a general and a writer of playsdeveloped drama even further He usedthree actors in his stories instead of one ortwo He also placed painted scenes behindthe stage as a backdrop to the action Two ofSophoclesrsquo most famous plays are OedipusRex (EH bull duh bull puhs REHKS) and Antigone (an bull TIH bull guh bull nee) In Antigone Sophocles

asks the question ldquoIs it better to followorders or to do what is rightrdquo

Euripides a later playwright tried totake Greek drama beyond heroes and godsHis characters were more down-to-earthEuripidesrsquo plots show a great interest inreal-life situations He questioned tradi-tional thinking especially about war Heshowed war as cruel and women and chil-dren as its victims

The works of Aristophanes are goodexamples of comedies They make fun ofleading politicians and scholars Theyencourage the audience to think as well asto laugh Many of Aristophanesrsquo playsincluded jokes just like popular televisioncomedies do today

Large columns supported many Greekbuildings The first Greek columns werecarved from wood Then in 500 BC theGreeks began to use marble Marblecolumns were built in sections Largeblocks of marble were chiseled from stonequarries and brought by oxen-drawnwagon to the building site The sectionswere stacked on top of each other To keep

them from toppling the columnrsquos sectionswere joined with wooden pegs Todaymarble columns are common features ofchurches and government buildingsSome of the best-known buildings in ournationrsquos capital such as the White Houseand the Capitol have columns similar toGreek columns

Among all those mortals who grew so wise that they learned thesecrets of the gods none was more cunning than Daedalus1

He once built for King Minos of Crete a wonderful Labyrinth ofwinding ways so cunningly tangled up and twisted around thatonce inside you could never find your way out again without amagic clue But the kingrsquos favor veered with the wind and one dayhe had his master architect imprisoned in a tower Daedalusmanaged to escape from his cell but it seemed impossible to leavethe island since every ship that came or went was well guarded byorder of the king

At length watching the sea-gulls in the airmdashthe only creaturesthat were sure of libertymdashhe thought of a plan for himself and hisyoung son Icarus2 who was captive with him

Little by little he gathered a store of feathers great and smallHe fastened these together with thread moulded them in with waxand so fashioned two great wings like those of a bird When theywere done Daedalus fitted them to his own shoulders and afterone or two efforts he found that by waving his arms he couldwinnow the air and cleave3 it as a swimmer does the seaHe held himself aloft wavered this way and that with the wind and at last like a great fledgling4 he learned to fly

Without delay he fell to work on a pair of wings for the boyIcarus and taught him carefully how to use them bidding himbeware of rash adventures among the stars ldquoRememberrdquo said thefather ldquonever fly very low or very high for the fogs about the earthwould weigh you down but the blaze of the sun will surely meltyour feathers apart if you go too nearrdquo

For Icarus these cautions went in at one ear and out by theother Who could remember to be careful when he was to fly for thefirst time Are birds careful Not they And not an idea remained inthe boyrsquos head but the one joy of escape

The day came and the fair wind that was to set them free Thefather bird put on his wings and while the light urged them to begone he waited to see that all was well with Icarus for the twocould not fly hand in hand Up they rose the boy after his fatherThe hateful ground of Crete sank beneath them and the countryfolk who caught a glimpse of them when they were high abovethe tree-tops took it for a vision of the godsmdashApollo5

Alas for him Warmer and warmer grew the air Thosearms that had seemed to uphold him relaxed His wingswavered drooped He fluttered his young hands vainlymdashhe was fallingmdashand in that terror he remembered The heat of the sun had melted the wax from his wings the feathers were fallingone by one like snowflakes and there was none to help

He fell like a leaf tossed down the wind downdown with one cry that overtook Daedalus far away When he returned and sought high and low for the poor boy he saw nothing but the bird-like feathers afloat on the water and he knew that Icarus was drowned

The nearest island he named Icariain memory of the child but he in heavy griefwent to the temple of Apollo in Sicily and there hung up his wings as an offering Never again did he attempt to fly

Sophists like Libanius(above) thought that people should use knowledge to improvethemselves They believed that there is no absolute right or wrong

He rejected the ideaof democracy as a form of governmentPlato believed that philosopher-kings should rule society

Aristotle taught the idea of the ldquogolden meanrdquo He believed observation and comparison werenecessary to gainknowledge

The importance of public speaking can be seen in political debates between candidates

His methods influenced the way teachers interact with their students

He introduced the idea that govern-ment should be fair and just

His political ideas still shape political ideas today

They developed the art of public speak-ing and debate

He created the Socratic method of teaching

He described his vision of the ideal government in his work the Republic

He wrote over 200 books on philoso-phy and science He divided all govern-ments into threebasic types

He was a critic of the Sophists Socrates believed that there was an absolute right and wrong

city and made a living by teaching othersThey believed students should use theirtime to improve themselves Many taughttheir students how to win an argument andmake good political speeches

Sophists did not believe that gods andgoddesses influenced people They alsorejected the idea of absolute right or wrongThey believed that what was right for oneperson might be wrong for another

The Ideas of Socrates One critic of theSophists was Socrates (SAH bull kruh bull TEEZ)Socrates was an Athenian sculptor whosetrue love was philosophy Socrates left nowritings behind What we know abouthim we have learned from the writings ofhis students

Socrates believed that an absolute truthexisted and that all real knowledge waswithin each person He invented the Socratic method (suh bullKRA bull tihk) of teachingstill used today He asked pointed questionsto force his pupils to use their reason and tosee things for themselves

Some Athenian leaders considered theSocratic method a threat to their power At one time Athens had a tradition of ques-tioning leaders and speaking freelyHowever their defeat in the PeloponnesianWar changed the Athenians They no longertrusted open debate In 399 BC the leadersaccused Socrates of teaching youngAthenians to rebel against the state A juryfound Socrates guilty and sentenced him todeath Socrates could have fled the city but

he chose to remain He argued that he hadlived under the cityrsquos laws so he had toobey them He then drank poison to carryout the juryrsquos sentence

The Ideas of Plato One of Socratesrsquo stu-dents was Plato (PLAY bull toh) Unlike Socrateswe are able to learn a lot about Plato fromhis writings One work Plato wrote is calledthe Republic It explains his ideas about gov-ernment Based on life in Athens Platodecided that democracy was not a goodsystem of government He did not thinkthat rule by the people produced fair or sen-sible policies To him people could not livegood lives unless they had a just and rea-sonable government

In the Republic Plato described his idealgovernment He divided people into threebasic groups At the top were philosopher-kings who ruled using logic and wisdomWarriors made up the second group Theydefended the state from attack

The third group included the rest of thepeople They were driven by desire not bywisdom like the first group or courage likethe second These people produced thestatersquos food clothing and shelter Plato alsobelieved that men and women should havethe same education and an equal chance tohave the same jobs

Who Was Aristotle Plato established aschool in Athens known as the Academy Hisbest student was Aristotle (AR bulluh bull STAH bull tuhl)Aristotle wrote more than 200 books ontopics ranging from government to theplanets and stars

In 335 BC Aristotle opened his ownschool called the Lyceum At the LyceumAristotle taught his pupils the ldquogoldenmeanrdquo This idea holds that a person shoulddo nothing in excess For example a person

should not eat too little or too much but justenough to stay well

Aristotle also helped to advance scienceHe urged people to use their senses to makeobservations just as scientists today makeobservations Aristotle was the first personto group observations according to their sim-ilarities and differences Then he made gen-eralizations based on the groups of facts

Like Plato Aristotle wrote about gov-ernment He studied and compared thegovernments of 158 different places to findthe best form of government In his bookPolitics Aristotle divided the governmentsinto three types

bull Government by one person such as amonarch (king or queen) or a tyrant

bull Government by a few people whichmight be an aristocracy or an oligarchy

bull Government by many people as in ademocracy

Aristotle noticed that governments runby a few people were usually run by therich He noticed that most democracieswere run by the poor He thought the bestgovernment was a mixture of the two

Aristotlersquos ideas shaped the wayEuropeans and Americans thought aboutgovernment The founders of the UnitedStates Constitution tried to create a mixedgovernment that balanced the differenttypes Aristotle had identified

require lifelong learning

PLATO AND ARISTOTLEPlato c 428ndash347 BCAristotle 384ndash322 BC

Plato was from a noble Greek family and had planned a career in

politics However he was so horrified by the death of his teacher

Socrates that he left politics and spent many years traveling and

writing When Plato returned to Athens in 387 BC he founded an

academy where he taught using Socratesrsquo method of questioning His

academy drew bright young students from Athens and other Greek

city-states Plato looked for truth beyond the appearances of

everyday objects and reflected this philosophy in his writing and

teaching He believed the human soul was the connection between

the appearance of things and ideas

Plato and Aristotlemdashtwo of the greatest ancient Greek

philosophersmdashmet as teacher and student at Platorsquos Academy in

Athens Aristotle left his home in Stagira and arrived on the Academyrsquos

doorstep when he was eighteen years old He remained at Platorsquos Academy for

20 years until the death of his teacher Unlike Plato Aristotle did not come from

a noble family His father was the court physician to the king of Macedonia At an early

age Aristotlersquos father introduced him to the topics of medicine and biology and these

became his main interests of study Aristotle sought truth through a systematic scientific

approach He liked to jot down notes and details about different

topicsmdashfrom weather to human behaviormdashand arrange them in

categories He did not trust the sensesrsquo ability to understand the

universeAfter Platorsquos death Aristotle traveled for about 12 years

He also tutored the future Alexander the Great Later in his life he

returned to Athens and opened his own school the Lyceum He

made his school the center for research in every area of

knowledge known to the Greeks

find out what Greek historians thought was important

In most places in the ancient world peo-ple did not write history Legends andmyths explained their past Some civiliza-tions kept long lists of rulers and the datesthey were in power but no one tried toexplain the past by studying events Thenin 435 BC a Greek named Herodotus (hih bullRAH bull duh bull tuhs) wrote the history of thePersian Wars

In his book Herodotus tried to separatefact from legend He asked questionsrecorded answers and checked the truthful-ness of his sources Although his historyincludes some errors and uses gods and god-desses to explain some events Western histo-rians consider him the ldquofather of historyrdquo

Many historians consider Thucydides(thoo bullSIH bullduh bull DEEZ) the greatest historian ofthe ancient world Thucydides fought in thePeloponnesian War After he lost a battle hewas sent into exile There he wrote hisHistory of the Peloponnesian War

Unlike Herodotus Thucydides saw warand politics as the activities of humanbeings not gods He also stressed theimportance of having accurate facts

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

bull spared the lives of the queen and

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

Greek Culture SpreadsHellenistic cities became centers of

learning and culture

Reading Focus Imagine you are a leading citizen in a

new city How would you make it the best city possible

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Explain How did theHellenistic kingdoms spread Greek culture

that tumbles and splashes down from the rocks

If the Muses get the ewe for their prize

yoursquoll win the [baby] lambBut if they choose

the lamb yoursquoll carry away the ewerdquomdashTheocritus ldquoFirst Idyllrdquo

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

Contrast What were thedifferences between Epicureanism and Stoicism

out about the person who created geometry and other

scientists from the Hellenistic Era

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

But Greek gods and goddesses were notthought to be all-powerful According toGreek myths even though gods had specialpowers they looked like human beings andacted like them They married had childrenquarreled played tricks on each other andfought wars

Because Greeks sought their godsrsquo favorthey followed many rituals A ritual is a set ofactions carried out in a fixed way As part oftheir rituals the Greeks prayed to their godsand also gave them gifts In return theyhoped that the gods would grant good fortune to them Many Greek festivals hon-ored the gods and goddesses Festivals dedi-cated to Zeus were held at Olympia

The Greeks also believed in an afterlifeWhen people died the Greeks believed theirspirits went to a gloomy world beneath theearth ruled by a god named Hades

What Was a Greek Oracle The Greeksbelieved that each person had a fate or des-tiny They believed that certain events weregoing to happen no matter what they didThey also believed in prophecy A prophecyis a prediction about the future The Greeksbelieved that the gods gave prophecies topeople to warn them about the future intime to change it

To find out about the future manyGreeks visited an oracle (AWR bull uh bull kuhl)This was a sacred shrine where a priest or priestess spoke for a god or goddess Themost famous was the oracle at the Templeof Apollo at Delphi (DEHL bull FY) The oraclechamber was deep inside the temple Theroom had an opening in the floor where vol-canic smoke hissed from a crack in the earth

A priestess sat on a tripodmdasha three-legged stoolmdashin the oracle chamber and lis-tened to questions The priests translatedher answers State leaders or their messen-gers traveled to Delphi to ask advice fromthe oracle of Apollo

The priestess in the oracle often gaveanswers in riddles When one king namedCroesus (KREE bull suhs) sent messengers to theoracle at Delphi they asked if the kingshould go to war with the Persians The ora-cle replied that if Croesus attacked thePersians he would destroy a mighty empireOverjoyed to hear these words Croesusdeclared war on the Persians The Persianarmy crushed his army The mighty empireKing Croesus had destroyed was his own

Explain Why did theGreeks have rituals and festivals for their godsand goddesses

One of the best-known fables is ldquoTheTortoise and the Harerdquo In this fable a tor-toise and a hare decide to race More than

halfway into the race the hare is way aheadHe stops to rest and falls asleep Meanwhilethe tortoise keeps going at a slow but steadypace and finally wins the race

HOMERc 750 BC

Homerrsquos epic poemsmdashthe Iliad and the

Odysseymdashare famous but until the 1900s

historians believed that Homer never existed

Historians now know Homer was a real person

but they still debate whether he wrote his

poems alone or with the help of other poets

Many historians have speculated or made

educated guesses about Homerrsquos personal life

Some say that Homer came from Ionia and

seven cities claim to be his birthplace Some

believe that he was blind Others believe

that he wandered from town to town

Legends tell of Homerrsquos strong

influence on his readers For example as a

young child Alexander the Great is said to

have slept with a copy of the Iliad under his

pillow

Homer used the term aoidos for a poet This word

means ldquosingerrdquo which tells us that the poetry created

during Homerrsquos time was memorized and recited not

written down Usually short simple poems that were

easy to remember were told to an audience as

entertainment

Homer created a different style of poetry that

influenced all Western literature that followed His

epics are long and involve complex characters dramatic

action and interesting events Because each section

of the Iliad and the Odyssey has these characteristics

most historians today think that only one poet

could have created both epics Whoever

Homer was his two epics have

influenced readers for more than

3000 years

Todayrsquos movies plays and televisionshows are all examples of drama

In a comedy (KAH bull muh bull dee) the storyends happily Today we use the word comedyto mean a story filled with humor The wordactually means any drama that has a happyending

Greek stories dealt with big questionssuch as

bull What is the nature of good and evilbull What rights should people havebull What role do gods play in our lives

The three best-known writers of Greektragedies were Aeschylus (EHS bull kuh bull luhs)Sophocles (SAH bull fuh bull KLEEZ) and Euripides(yu bull RIH bull puh bull DEEZ) The best-known writerof Greek comedies was Aristophanes (ar bulluh bullSTAH bull fuh bull NEEZ)

Early Greek tragedies had only one actorwho gave speeches and a chorus that sangsongs describing the events Aeschylus wasthe first to introduce the idea of having twoactors This let the writer tell a story involvingconflict between the two people Aeschylusalso introduced costumes props and stagedecorationsmdashall ideas we still use today

One of Aeschylusrsquos best-known plays is a group of three plays called the Oresteia(ohr bull eh bull STY bull uh) Aeschylus wrote theplays in 458 BC They describe what hap-pens when the king of Mycenae returnshome from the Trojan War The Oresteiateaches that evil acts cause more evil actsand suffering In the end however reasontriumphs over evil The moral of theseplays is that people should not seekrevenge

Sophocles a general and a writer of playsdeveloped drama even further He usedthree actors in his stories instead of one ortwo He also placed painted scenes behindthe stage as a backdrop to the action Two ofSophoclesrsquo most famous plays are OedipusRex (EH bull duh bull puhs REHKS) and Antigone (an bull TIH bull guh bull nee) In Antigone Sophocles

asks the question ldquoIs it better to followorders or to do what is rightrdquo

Euripides a later playwright tried totake Greek drama beyond heroes and godsHis characters were more down-to-earthEuripidesrsquo plots show a great interest inreal-life situations He questioned tradi-tional thinking especially about war Heshowed war as cruel and women and chil-dren as its victims

The works of Aristophanes are goodexamples of comedies They make fun ofleading politicians and scholars Theyencourage the audience to think as well asto laugh Many of Aristophanesrsquo playsincluded jokes just like popular televisioncomedies do today

Among all those mortals who grew so wise that they learned thesecrets of the gods none was more cunning than Daedalus1

He once built for King Minos of Crete a wonderful Labyrinth ofwinding ways so cunningly tangled up and twisted around thatonce inside you could never find your way out again without amagic clue But the kingrsquos favor veered with the wind and one dayhe had his master architect imprisoned in a tower Daedalusmanaged to escape from his cell but it seemed impossible to leavethe island since every ship that came or went was well guarded byorder of the king

At length watching the sea-gulls in the airmdashthe only creaturesthat were sure of libertymdashhe thought of a plan for himself and hisyoung son Icarus2 who was captive with him

Little by little he gathered a store of feathers great and smallHe fastened these together with thread moulded them in with waxand so fashioned two great wings like those of a bird When theywere done Daedalus fitted them to his own shoulders and afterone or two efforts he found that by waving his arms he couldwinnow the air and cleave3 it as a swimmer does the seaHe held himself aloft wavered this way and that with the wind and at last like a great fledgling4 he learned to fly

Without delay he fell to work on a pair of wings for the boyIcarus and taught him carefully how to use them bidding himbeware of rash adventures among the stars ldquoRememberrdquo said thefather ldquonever fly very low or very high for the fogs about the earthwould weigh you down but the blaze of the sun will surely meltyour feathers apart if you go too nearrdquo

For Icarus these cautions went in at one ear and out by theother Who could remember to be careful when he was to fly for thefirst time Are birds careful Not they And not an idea remained inthe boyrsquos head but the one joy of escape

The day came and the fair wind that was to set them free Thefather bird put on his wings and while the light urged them to begone he waited to see that all was well with Icarus for the twocould not fly hand in hand Up they rose the boy after his fatherThe hateful ground of Crete sank beneath them and the countryfolk who caught a glimpse of them when they were high abovethe tree-tops took it for a vision of the godsmdashApollo5

Alas for him Warmer and warmer grew the air Thosearms that had seemed to uphold him relaxed His wingswavered drooped He fluttered his young hands vainlymdashhe was fallingmdashand in that terror he remembered The heat of the sun had melted the wax from his wings the feathers were fallingone by one like snowflakes and there was none to help

He fell like a leaf tossed down the wind downdown with one cry that overtook Daedalus far away When he returned and sought high and low for the poor boy he saw nothing but the bird-like feathers afloat on the water and he knew that Icarus was drowned

Sophists did not believe that gods andgoddesses influenced people They alsorejected the idea of absolute right or wrongThey believed that what was right for oneperson might be wrong for another

The Ideas of Socrates One critic of theSophists was Socrates (SAH bull kruh bull TEEZ)Socrates was an Athenian sculptor whosetrue love was philosophy Socrates left nowritings behind What we know abouthim we have learned from the writings ofhis students

Socrates believed that an absolute truthexisted and that all real knowledge waswithin each person He invented the Socratic method (suh bullKRA bull tihk) of teachingstill used today He asked pointed questionsto force his pupils to use their reason and tosee things for themselves

Some Athenian leaders considered theSocratic method a threat to their power At one time Athens had a tradition of ques-tioning leaders and speaking freelyHowever their defeat in the PeloponnesianWar changed the Athenians They no longertrusted open debate In 399 BC the leadersaccused Socrates of teaching youngAthenians to rebel against the state A juryfound Socrates guilty and sentenced him todeath Socrates could have fled the city but

he chose to remain He argued that he hadlived under the cityrsquos laws so he had toobey them He then drank poison to carryout the juryrsquos sentence

The Ideas of Plato One of Socratesrsquo stu-dents was Plato (PLAY bull toh) Unlike Socrateswe are able to learn a lot about Plato fromhis writings One work Plato wrote is calledthe Republic It explains his ideas about gov-ernment Based on life in Athens Platodecided that democracy was not a goodsystem of government He did not thinkthat rule by the people produced fair or sen-sible policies To him people could not livegood lives unless they had a just and rea-sonable government

In the Republic Plato described his idealgovernment He divided people into threebasic groups At the top were philosopher-kings who ruled using logic and wisdomWarriors made up the second group Theydefended the state from attack

The third group included the rest of thepeople They were driven by desire not bywisdom like the first group or courage likethe second These people produced thestatersquos food clothing and shelter Plato alsobelieved that men and women should havethe same education and an equal chance tohave the same jobs

Who Was Aristotle Plato established aschool in Athens known as the Academy Hisbest student was Aristotle (AR bulluh bull STAH bull tuhl)Aristotle wrote more than 200 books ontopics ranging from government to theplanets and stars

In 335 BC Aristotle opened his ownschool called the Lyceum At the LyceumAristotle taught his pupils the ldquogoldenmeanrdquo This idea holds that a person shoulddo nothing in excess For example a person

should not eat too little or too much but justenough to stay well

Aristotle also helped to advance scienceHe urged people to use their senses to makeobservations just as scientists today makeobservations Aristotle was the first personto group observations according to their sim-ilarities and differences Then he made gen-eralizations based on the groups of facts

Like Plato Aristotle wrote about gov-ernment He studied and compared thegovernments of 158 different places to findthe best form of government In his bookPolitics Aristotle divided the governmentsinto three types

bull Government by one person such as amonarch (king or queen) or a tyrant

bull Government by a few people whichmight be an aristocracy or an oligarchy

bull Government by many people as in ademocracy

Aristotle noticed that governments runby a few people were usually run by therich He noticed that most democracieswere run by the poor He thought the bestgovernment was a mixture of the two

Aristotlersquos ideas shaped the wayEuropeans and Americans thought aboutgovernment The founders of the UnitedStates Constitution tried to create a mixedgovernment that balanced the differenttypes Aristotle had identified

PLATO AND ARISTOTLEPlato c 428ndash347 BCAristotle 384ndash322 BC

Plato was from a noble Greek family and had planned a career in

politics However he was so horrified by the death of his teacher

Socrates that he left politics and spent many years traveling and

writing When Plato returned to Athens in 387 BC he founded an

academy where he taught using Socratesrsquo method of questioning His

academy drew bright young students from Athens and other Greek

city-states Plato looked for truth beyond the appearances of

everyday objects and reflected this philosophy in his writing and

teaching He believed the human soul was the connection between

the appearance of things and ideas

Plato and Aristotlemdashtwo of the greatest ancient Greek

philosophersmdashmet as teacher and student at Platorsquos Academy in

Athens Aristotle left his home in Stagira and arrived on the Academyrsquos

doorstep when he was eighteen years old He remained at Platorsquos Academy for

20 years until the death of his teacher Unlike Plato Aristotle did not come from

a noble family His father was the court physician to the king of Macedonia At an early

age Aristotlersquos father introduced him to the topics of medicine and biology and these

became his main interests of study Aristotle sought truth through a systematic scientific

approach He liked to jot down notes and details about different

topicsmdashfrom weather to human behaviormdashand arrange them in

categories He did not trust the sensesrsquo ability to understand the

universeAfter Platorsquos death Aristotle traveled for about 12 years

He also tutored the future Alexander the Great Later in his life he

returned to Athens and opened his own school the Lyceum He

made his school the center for research in every area of

In his book Herodotus tried to separatefact from legend He asked questionsrecorded answers and checked the truthful-ness of his sources Although his historyincludes some errors and uses gods and god-desses to explain some events Western histo-rians consider him the ldquofather of historyrdquo

Many historians consider Thucydides(thoo bullSIH bullduh bull DEEZ) the greatest historian ofthe ancient world Thucydides fought in thePeloponnesian War After he lost a battle hewas sent into exile There he wrote hisHistory of the Peloponnesian War

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

The key to Alexanderrsquos courage mayhave been his childhood educationAlexander kept a copy of the Iliad under hispillow Most likely his inspiration wasHomerrsquos warrior-hero Achilles In the endAlexanderrsquos reputation outstripped evenAchillesrsquo and today he is called Alexanderthe Great

Alexander the GreatVillain or Hero

Was Alexander the Great really great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

echoed the story until it

went round the whole

support of him they say Alexander

bull tried to promote learning

bull visited all of his wounded men

after each battle

bull spared the lives of the queen and

princess of Persia

bull built new cities where others had

been destroyed

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

But Greek gods and goddesses were notthought to be all-powerful According toGreek myths even though gods had specialpowers they looked like human beings andacted like them They married had childrenquarreled played tricks on each other andfought wars

Because Greeks sought their godsrsquo favorthey followed many rituals A ritual is a set ofactions carried out in a fixed way As part oftheir rituals the Greeks prayed to their godsand also gave them gifts In return theyhoped that the gods would grant good fortune to them Many Greek festivals hon-ored the gods and goddesses Festivals dedi-cated to Zeus were held at Olympia

The Greeks also believed in an afterlifeWhen people died the Greeks believed theirspirits went to a gloomy world beneath theearth ruled by a god named Hades

What Was a Greek Oracle The Greeksbelieved that each person had a fate or des-tiny They believed that certain events weregoing to happen no matter what they didThey also believed in prophecy A prophecyis a prediction about the future The Greeksbelieved that the gods gave prophecies topeople to warn them about the future intime to change it

To find out about the future manyGreeks visited an oracle (AWR bull uh bull kuhl)This was a sacred shrine where a priest or priestess spoke for a god or goddess Themost famous was the oracle at the Templeof Apollo at Delphi (DEHL bull FY) The oraclechamber was deep inside the temple Theroom had an opening in the floor where vol-canic smoke hissed from a crack in the earth

A priestess sat on a tripodmdasha three-legged stoolmdashin the oracle chamber and lis-tened to questions The priests translatedher answers State leaders or their messen-gers traveled to Delphi to ask advice fromthe oracle of Apollo

The priestess in the oracle often gaveanswers in riddles When one king namedCroesus (KREE bull suhs) sent messengers to theoracle at Delphi they asked if the kingshould go to war with the Persians The ora-cle replied that if Croesus attacked thePersians he would destroy a mighty empireOverjoyed to hear these words Croesusdeclared war on the Persians The Persianarmy crushed his army The mighty empireKing Croesus had destroyed was his own

Explain Why did theGreeks have rituals and festivals for their godsand goddesses

The earliest Greek stories were epics (EH bull pihks) These long poems told about

The Odyssey tells the story of Odysseusanother Greek hero It describes his journeyhome from the Trojan War Odysseus facesstorms witches and giants before return-ing to his wife Because it took Odysseus 10years to get home we use the word odysseytoday to mean a long journey with manyadventures

Greeks believed the Iliad and theOdyssey were more than stories Theylooked on the epics as real history Thesepoems gave the Greeks an ideal past witha cast of heroes Generations of Greeksread Homerrsquos works One Athenian wroteldquoMy father was anxious to see me developinto a good man [so] he compelled meto memorize all of Homerrdquo

One of the best-known fables is ldquoTheTortoise and the Harerdquo In this fable a tor-toise and a hare decide to race More than

halfway into the race the hare is way aheadHe stops to rest and falls asleep Meanwhilethe tortoise keeps going at a slow but steadypace and finally wins the race

The moral of the story is ldquoslow andsteady wins the racerdquo Some of the phraseswe hear today came from Aesoprsquos fablesldquoSour grapesrdquo ldquoa wolf in sheeprsquos clothingrdquoand ldquoappearances often are deceivingrdquo areexamples

For about 200 years Aesoprsquos fableswere a part of Greecersquos oral tradition Thismeans they were passed from person toperson by word of mouth long before theywere ever written down Since then count-less writers have retold the stories in manydifferent languages

HOMERc 750 BC

Homerrsquos epic poemsmdashthe Iliad and the

Odysseymdashare famous but until the 1900s

historians believed that Homer never existed

Historians now know Homer was a real person

but they still debate whether he wrote his

poems alone or with the help of other poets

Many historians have speculated or made

educated guesses about Homerrsquos personal life

Some say that Homer came from Ionia and

seven cities claim to be his birthplace Some

believe that he was blind Others believe

that he wandered from town to town

Legends tell of Homerrsquos strong

influence on his readers For example as a

young child Alexander the Great is said to

have slept with a copy of the Iliad under his

pillow

Homer used the term aoidos for a poet This word

means ldquosingerrdquo which tells us that the poetry created

during Homerrsquos time was memorized and recited not

written down Usually short simple poems that were

easy to remember were told to an audience as

entertainment

Homer created a different style of poetry that

influenced all Western literature that followed His

epics are long and involve complex characters dramatic

action and interesting events Because each section

of the Iliad and the Odyssey has these characteristics

most historians today think that only one poet

could have created both epics Whoever

Homer was his two epics have

influenced readers for more than

3000 years

In a comedy (KAH bull muh bull dee) the storyends happily Today we use the word comedyto mean a story filled with humor The wordactually means any drama that has a happyending

Greek stories dealt with big questionssuch as

bull What is the nature of good and evilbull What rights should people havebull What role do gods play in our lives

The three best-known writers of Greektragedies were Aeschylus (EHS bull kuh bull luhs)Sophocles (SAH bull fuh bull KLEEZ) and Euripides(yu bull RIH bull puh bull DEEZ) The best-known writerof Greek comedies was Aristophanes (ar bulluh bullSTAH bull fuh bull NEEZ)

Early Greek tragedies had only one actorwho gave speeches and a chorus that sangsongs describing the events Aeschylus wasthe first to introduce the idea of having twoactors This let the writer tell a story involvingconflict between the two people Aeschylusalso introduced costumes props and stagedecorationsmdashall ideas we still use today

One of Aeschylusrsquos best-known plays is a group of three plays called the Oresteia(ohr bull eh bull STY bull uh) Aeschylus wrote theplays in 458 BC They describe what hap-pens when the king of Mycenae returnshome from the Trojan War The Oresteiateaches that evil acts cause more evil actsand suffering In the end however reasontriumphs over evil The moral of theseplays is that people should not seekrevenge

Sophocles a general and a writer of playsdeveloped drama even further He usedthree actors in his stories instead of one ortwo He also placed painted scenes behindthe stage as a backdrop to the action Two ofSophoclesrsquo most famous plays are OedipusRex (EH bull duh bull puhs REHKS) and Antigone (an bull TIH bull guh bull nee) In Antigone Sophocles

asks the question ldquoIs it better to followorders or to do what is rightrdquo

Euripides a later playwright tried totake Greek drama beyond heroes and godsHis characters were more down-to-earthEuripidesrsquo plots show a great interest inreal-life situations He questioned tradi-tional thinking especially about war Heshowed war as cruel and women and chil-dren as its victims

The works of Aristophanes are goodexamples of comedies They make fun ofleading politicians and scholars Theyencourage the audience to think as well asto laugh Many of Aristophanesrsquo playsincluded jokes just like popular televisioncomedies do today

Among all those mortals who grew so wise that they learned thesecrets of the gods none was more cunning than Daedalus1

He once built for King Minos of Crete a wonderful Labyrinth ofwinding ways so cunningly tangled up and twisted around thatonce inside you could never find your way out again without amagic clue But the kingrsquos favor veered with the wind and one dayhe had his master architect imprisoned in a tower Daedalusmanaged to escape from his cell but it seemed impossible to leavethe island since every ship that came or went was well guarded byorder of the king

At length watching the sea-gulls in the airmdashthe only creaturesthat were sure of libertymdashhe thought of a plan for himself and hisyoung son Icarus2 who was captive with him

Little by little he gathered a store of feathers great and smallHe fastened these together with thread moulded them in with waxand so fashioned two great wings like those of a bird When theywere done Daedalus fitted them to his own shoulders and afterone or two efforts he found that by waving his arms he couldwinnow the air and cleave3 it as a swimmer does the seaHe held himself aloft wavered this way and that with the wind and at last like a great fledgling4 he learned to fly

He longed for one draught9 of flight to quench the thirst ofhis captivity he stretched out his arms to the sky and madetoward the highest heavens

Alas for him Warmer and warmer grew the air Thosearms that had seemed to uphold him relaxed His wingswavered drooped He fluttered his young hands vainlymdashhe was fallingmdashand in that terror he remembered The heat of the sun had melted the wax from his wings the feathers were fallingone by one like snowflakes and there was none to help

He fell like a leaf tossed down the wind downdown with one cry that overtook Daedalus far away When he returned and sought high and low for the poor boy he saw nothing but the bird-like feathers afloat on the water and he knew that Icarus was drowned

The nearest island he named Icariain memory of the child but he in heavy griefwent to the temple of Apollo in Sicily and there hung up his wings as an offering Never again did he attempt to fly

Sophists like Libanius(above) thought that people should use knowledge to improvethemselves They believed that there is no absolute right or wrong

He rejected the ideaof democracy as a form of governmentPlato believed that philosopher-kings should rule society

Aristotle taught the idea of the ldquogolden meanrdquo He believed observation and comparison werenecessary to gainknowledge

The importance of public speaking can be seen in political debates between candidates

His methods influenced the way teachers interact with their students

He introduced the idea that govern-ment should be fair and just

His political ideas still shape political ideas today

They developed the art of public speak-ing and debate

He created the Socratic method of teaching

He described his vision of the ideal government in his work the Republic

He wrote over 200 books on philoso-phy and science He divided all govern-ments into threebasic types

He was a critic of the Sophists Socrates believed that there was an absolute right and wrong

city and made a living by teaching othersThey believed students should use theirtime to improve themselves Many taughttheir students how to win an argument andmake good political speeches

Sophists did not believe that gods andgoddesses influenced people They alsorejected the idea of absolute right or wrongThey believed that what was right for oneperson might be wrong for another

The Ideas of Socrates One critic of theSophists was Socrates (SAH bull kruh bull TEEZ)Socrates was an Athenian sculptor whosetrue love was philosophy Socrates left nowritings behind What we know abouthim we have learned from the writings ofhis students

Socrates believed that an absolute truthexisted and that all real knowledge waswithin each person He invented the Socratic method (suh bullKRA bull tihk) of teachingstill used today He asked pointed questionsto force his pupils to use their reason and tosee things for themselves

Some Athenian leaders considered theSocratic method a threat to their power At one time Athens had a tradition of ques-tioning leaders and speaking freelyHowever their defeat in the PeloponnesianWar changed the Athenians They no longertrusted open debate In 399 BC the leadersaccused Socrates of teaching youngAthenians to rebel against the state A juryfound Socrates guilty and sentenced him todeath Socrates could have fled the city but

he chose to remain He argued that he hadlived under the cityrsquos laws so he had toobey them He then drank poison to carryout the juryrsquos sentence

The Ideas of Plato One of Socratesrsquo stu-dents was Plato (PLAY bull toh) Unlike Socrateswe are able to learn a lot about Plato fromhis writings One work Plato wrote is calledthe Republic It explains his ideas about gov-ernment Based on life in Athens Platodecided that democracy was not a goodsystem of government He did not thinkthat rule by the people produced fair or sen-sible policies To him people could not livegood lives unless they had a just and rea-sonable government

In the Republic Plato described his idealgovernment He divided people into threebasic groups At the top were philosopher-kings who ruled using logic and wisdomWarriors made up the second group Theydefended the state from attack

The third group included the rest of thepeople They were driven by desire not bywisdom like the first group or courage likethe second These people produced thestatersquos food clothing and shelter Plato alsobelieved that men and women should havethe same education and an equal chance tohave the same jobs

Who Was Aristotle Plato established aschool in Athens known as the Academy Hisbest student was Aristotle (AR bulluh bull STAH bull tuhl)Aristotle wrote more than 200 books ontopics ranging from government to theplanets and stars

In 335 BC Aristotle opened his ownschool called the Lyceum At the LyceumAristotle taught his pupils the ldquogoldenmeanrdquo This idea holds that a person shoulddo nothing in excess For example a person

should not eat too little or too much but justenough to stay well

Aristotle also helped to advance scienceHe urged people to use their senses to makeobservations just as scientists today makeobservations Aristotle was the first personto group observations according to their sim-ilarities and differences Then he made gen-eralizations based on the groups of facts

Like Plato Aristotle wrote about gov-ernment He studied and compared thegovernments of 158 different places to findthe best form of government In his bookPolitics Aristotle divided the governmentsinto three types

bull Government by one person such as amonarch (king or queen) or a tyrant

bull Government by a few people whichmight be an aristocracy or an oligarchy

bull Government by many people as in ademocracy

Aristotle noticed that governments runby a few people were usually run by therich He noticed that most democracieswere run by the poor He thought the bestgovernment was a mixture of the two

Aristotlersquos ideas shaped the wayEuropeans and Americans thought aboutgovernment The founders of the UnitedStates Constitution tried to create a mixedgovernment that balanced the differenttypes Aristotle had identified

require lifelong learning

PLATO AND ARISTOTLEPlato c 428ndash347 BCAristotle 384ndash322 BC

Plato was from a noble Greek family and had planned a career in

politics However he was so horrified by the death of his teacher

Socrates that he left politics and spent many years traveling and

writing When Plato returned to Athens in 387 BC he founded an

academy where he taught using Socratesrsquo method of questioning His

academy drew bright young students from Athens and other Greek

city-states Plato looked for truth beyond the appearances of

everyday objects and reflected this philosophy in his writing and

teaching He believed the human soul was the connection between

the appearance of things and ideas

Plato and Aristotlemdashtwo of the greatest ancient Greek

philosophersmdashmet as teacher and student at Platorsquos Academy in

Athens Aristotle left his home in Stagira and arrived on the Academyrsquos

doorstep when he was eighteen years old He remained at Platorsquos Academy for

20 years until the death of his teacher Unlike Plato Aristotle did not come from

a noble family His father was the court physician to the king of Macedonia At an early

age Aristotlersquos father introduced him to the topics of medicine and biology and these

became his main interests of study Aristotle sought truth through a systematic scientific

approach He liked to jot down notes and details about different

topicsmdashfrom weather to human behaviormdashand arrange them in

categories He did not trust the sensesrsquo ability to understand the

universeAfter Platorsquos death Aristotle traveled for about 12 years

He also tutored the future Alexander the Great Later in his life he

returned to Athens and opened his own school the Lyceum He

made his school the center for research in every area of

find out what Greek historians thought was important

In most places in the ancient world peo-ple did not write history Legends andmyths explained their past Some civiliza-tions kept long lists of rulers and the datesthey were in power but no one tried toexplain the past by studying events Thenin 435 BC a Greek named Herodotus (hih bullRAH bull duh bull tuhs) wrote the history of thePersian Wars

In his book Herodotus tried to separatefact from legend He asked questionsrecorded answers and checked the truthful-ness of his sources Although his historyincludes some errors and uses gods and god-desses to explain some events Western histo-rians consider him the ldquofather of historyrdquo

Many historians consider Thucydides(thoo bullSIH bullduh bull DEEZ) the greatest historian ofthe ancient world Thucydides fought in thePeloponnesian War After he lost a battle hewas sent into exile There he wrote hisHistory of the Peloponnesian War

Unlike Herodotus Thucydides saw warand politics as the activities of humanbeings not gods He also stressed theimportance of having accurate facts

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

Alexander the GreatVillain or Hero

Was Alexander the Great really great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

Other historians consider Alexander

the Great to be a hero They claim he

brought progress order and culture

to each new land he conquered In

support of him they say Alexander

bull tried to promote learning

bull visited all of his wounded men

after each battle

bull spared the lives of the queen and

princess of Persia

bull built new cities where others had

been destroyed

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

Greek Culture SpreadsHellenistic cities became centers of

learning and culture

Reading Focus Imagine you are a leading citizen in a

new city How would you make it the best city possible

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

Contrast What were thedifferences between Epicureanism and Stoicism

scientists from the Hellenistic Era

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

But Greek gods and goddesses were notthought to be all-powerful According toGreek myths even though gods had specialpowers they looked like human beings andacted like them They married had childrenquarreled played tricks on each other andfought wars

Because Greeks sought their godsrsquo favorthey followed many rituals A ritual is a set ofactions carried out in a fixed way As part oftheir rituals the Greeks prayed to their godsand also gave them gifts In return theyhoped that the gods would grant good fortune to them Many Greek festivals hon-ored the gods and goddesses Festivals dedi-cated to Zeus were held at Olympia

The Greeks also believed in an afterlifeWhen people died the Greeks believed theirspirits went to a gloomy world beneath theearth ruled by a god named Hades

What Was a Greek Oracle The Greeksbelieved that each person had a fate or des-tiny They believed that certain events weregoing to happen no matter what they didThey also believed in prophecy A prophecyis a prediction about the future The Greeksbelieved that the gods gave prophecies topeople to warn them about the future intime to change it

To find out about the future manyGreeks visited an oracle (AWR bull uh bull kuhl)This was a sacred shrine where a priest or priestess spoke for a god or goddess Themost famous was the oracle at the Templeof Apollo at Delphi (DEHL bull FY) The oraclechamber was deep inside the temple Theroom had an opening in the floor where vol-canic smoke hissed from a crack in the earth

A priestess sat on a tripodmdasha three-legged stoolmdashin the oracle chamber and lis-tened to questions The priests translatedher answers State leaders or their messen-gers traveled to Delphi to ask advice fromthe oracle of Apollo

The priestess in the oracle often gaveanswers in riddles When one king namedCroesus (KREE bull suhs) sent messengers to theoracle at Delphi they asked if the kingshould go to war with the Persians The ora-cle replied that if Croesus attacked thePersians he would destroy a mighty empireOverjoyed to hear these words Croesusdeclared war on the Persians The Persianarmy crushed his army The mighty empireKing Croesus had destroyed was his own

Explain Why did theGreeks have rituals and festivals for their godsand goddesses

The Odyssey tells the story of Odysseusanother Greek hero It describes his journeyhome from the Trojan War Odysseus facesstorms witches and giants before return-ing to his wife Because it took Odysseus 10years to get home we use the word odysseytoday to mean a long journey with manyadventures

Greeks believed the Iliad and theOdyssey were more than stories Theylooked on the epics as real history Thesepoems gave the Greeks an ideal past witha cast of heroes Generations of Greeksread Homerrsquos works One Athenian wroteldquoMy father was anxious to see me developinto a good man [so] he compelled meto memorize all of Homerrdquo

Homerrsquos stories taught courage andhonor They also taught that it was impor-tant to be loyal to your friends and to valuethe relationship between husband andwife The stories showed heroes striving tobe the best they could be Heroes fought toprotect their own honor and their familyrsquoshonor Homerrsquos heroes became role modelsfor Greek boys

Who Was Aesop About 550 BC a Greekslave named Aesop (EE bull SAHP) made up hisnow famous fables A fable (FAY bullbuhl) is ashort tale that teaches a lesson In most ofAesoprsquos fables animals talk and act likepeople These often funny stories point outhuman flaws as well as strengths Eachfable ends with a message or moral

One of the best-known fables is ldquoTheTortoise and the Harerdquo In this fable a tor-toise and a hare decide to race More than

halfway into the race the hare is way aheadHe stops to rest and falls asleep Meanwhilethe tortoise keeps going at a slow but steadypace and finally wins the race

The moral of the story is ldquoslow andsteady wins the racerdquo Some of the phraseswe hear today came from Aesoprsquos fablesldquoSour grapesrdquo ldquoa wolf in sheeprsquos clothingrdquoand ldquoappearances often are deceivingrdquo areexamples

For about 200 years Aesoprsquos fableswere a part of Greecersquos oral tradition Thismeans they were passed from person toperson by word of mouth long before theywere ever written down Since then count-less writers have retold the stories in manydifferent languages

educated guesses about Homerrsquos personal life

Some say that Homer came from Ionia and

seven cities claim to be his birthplace Some

believe that he was blind Others believe

that he wandered from town to town

Legends tell of Homerrsquos strong

influence on his readers For example as a

young child Alexander the Great is said to

have slept with a copy of the Iliad under his

pillow

Homer used the term aoidos for a poet This word

means ldquosingerrdquo which tells us that the poetry created

during Homerrsquos time was memorized and recited not

written down Usually short simple poems that were

easy to remember were told to an audience as

entertainment

Homer created a different style of poetry that

influenced all Western literature that followed His

epics are long and involve complex characters dramatic

action and interesting events Because each section

of the Iliad and the Odyssey has these characteristics

most historians today think that only one poet

could have created both epics Whoever

Homer was his two epics have

influenced readers for more than

3000 years

Todayrsquos movies plays and televisionshows are all examples of drama

Tragedies and Comedies The Greeks per-formed plays in outdoor theaters as part oftheir religious festivals They developed twokinds of dramasmdashcomedies and tragedies

In a comedy (KAH bull muh bull dee) the storyends happily Today we use the word comedyto mean a story filled with humor The wordactually means any drama that has a happyending

Greek stories dealt with big questionssuch as

bull What is the nature of good and evilbull What rights should people havebull What role do gods play in our lives

The three best-known writers of Greektragedies were Aeschylus (EHS bull kuh bull luhs)Sophocles (SAH bull fuh bull KLEEZ) and Euripides(yu bull RIH bull puh bull DEEZ) The best-known writerof Greek comedies was Aristophanes (ar bulluh bullSTAH bull fuh bull NEEZ)

Early Greek tragedies had only one actorwho gave speeches and a chorus that sangsongs describing the events Aeschylus wasthe first to introduce the idea of having twoactors This let the writer tell a story involvingconflict between the two people Aeschylusalso introduced costumes props and stagedecorationsmdashall ideas we still use today

One of Aeschylusrsquos best-known plays is a group of three plays called the Oresteia(ohr bull eh bull STY bull uh) Aeschylus wrote theplays in 458 BC They describe what hap-pens when the king of Mycenae returnshome from the Trojan War The Oresteiateaches that evil acts cause more evil actsand suffering In the end however reasontriumphs over evil The moral of theseplays is that people should not seekrevenge

Sophocles a general and a writer of playsdeveloped drama even further He usedthree actors in his stories instead of one ortwo He also placed painted scenes behindthe stage as a backdrop to the action Two ofSophoclesrsquo most famous plays are OedipusRex (EH bull duh bull puhs REHKS) and Antigone (an bull TIH bull guh bull nee) In Antigone Sophocles

asks the question ldquoIs it better to followorders or to do what is rightrdquo

Euripides a later playwright tried totake Greek drama beyond heroes and godsHis characters were more down-to-earthEuripidesrsquo plots show a great interest inreal-life situations He questioned tradi-tional thinking especially about war Heshowed war as cruel and women and chil-dren as its victims

The works of Aristophanes are goodexamples of comedies They make fun ofleading politicians and scholars Theyencourage the audience to think as well asto laugh Many of Aristophanesrsquo playsincluded jokes just like popular televisioncomedies do today

Large columns supported many Greekbuildings The first Greek columns werecarved from wood Then in 500 BC theGreeks began to use marble Marblecolumns were built in sections Largeblocks of marble were chiseled from stonequarries and brought by oxen-drawnwagon to the building site The sectionswere stacked on top of each other To keep

Among all those mortals who grew so wise that they learned thesecrets of the gods none was more cunning than Daedalus1

He once built for King Minos of Crete a wonderful Labyrinth ofwinding ways so cunningly tangled up and twisted around thatonce inside you could never find your way out again without amagic clue But the kingrsquos favor veered with the wind and one dayhe had his master architect imprisoned in a tower Daedalusmanaged to escape from his cell but it seemed impossible to leavethe island since every ship that came or went was well guarded byorder of the king

At length watching the sea-gulls in the airmdashthe only creaturesthat were sure of libertymdashhe thought of a plan for himself and hisyoung son Icarus2 who was captive with him

Little by little he gathered a store of feathers great and smallHe fastened these together with thread moulded them in with waxand so fashioned two great wings like those of a bird When theywere done Daedalus fitted them to his own shoulders and afterone or two efforts he found that by waving his arms he couldwinnow the air and cleave3 it as a swimmer does the seaHe held himself aloft wavered this way and that with the wind and at last like a great fledgling4 he learned to fly

Without delay he fell to work on a pair of wings for the boyIcarus and taught him carefully how to use them bidding himbeware of rash adventures among the stars ldquoRememberrdquo said thefather ldquonever fly very low or very high for the fogs about the earthwould weigh you down but the blaze of the sun will surely meltyour feathers apart if you go too nearrdquo

For Icarus these cautions went in at one ear and out by theother Who could remember to be careful when he was to fly for thefirst time Are birds careful Not they And not an idea remained inthe boyrsquos head but the one joy of escape

The day came and the fair wind that was to set them free Thefather bird put on his wings and while the light urged them to begone he waited to see that all was well with Icarus for the twocould not fly hand in hand Up they rose the boy after his fatherThe hateful ground of Crete sank beneath them and the countryfolk who caught a glimpse of them when they were high abovethe tree-tops took it for a vision of the godsmdashApollo5

Alas for him Warmer and warmer grew the air Thosearms that had seemed to uphold him relaxed His wingswavered drooped He fluttered his young hands vainlymdashhe was fallingmdashand in that terror he remembered The heat of the sun had melted the wax from his wings the feathers were fallingone by one like snowflakes and there was none to help

He fell like a leaf tossed down the wind downdown with one cry that overtook Daedalus far away When he returned and sought high and low for the poor boy he saw nothing but the bird-like feathers afloat on the water and he knew that Icarus was drowned

He was a critic of the Sophists Socrates believed that there was an absolute right and wrong

Sophists did not believe that gods andgoddesses influenced people They alsorejected the idea of absolute right or wrongThey believed that what was right for oneperson might be wrong for another

The Ideas of Socrates One critic of theSophists was Socrates (SAH bull kruh bull TEEZ)Socrates was an Athenian sculptor whosetrue love was philosophy Socrates left nowritings behind What we know abouthim we have learned from the writings ofhis students

Socrates believed that an absolute truthexisted and that all real knowledge waswithin each person He invented the Socratic method (suh bullKRA bull tihk) of teachingstill used today He asked pointed questionsto force his pupils to use their reason and tosee things for themselves

Some Athenian leaders considered theSocratic method a threat to their power At one time Athens had a tradition of ques-tioning leaders and speaking freelyHowever their defeat in the PeloponnesianWar changed the Athenians They no longertrusted open debate In 399 BC the leadersaccused Socrates of teaching youngAthenians to rebel against the state A juryfound Socrates guilty and sentenced him todeath Socrates could have fled the city but

The Ideas of Plato One of Socratesrsquo stu-dents was Plato (PLAY bull toh) Unlike Socrateswe are able to learn a lot about Plato fromhis writings One work Plato wrote is calledthe Republic It explains his ideas about gov-ernment Based on life in Athens Platodecided that democracy was not a goodsystem of government He did not thinkthat rule by the people produced fair or sen-sible policies To him people could not livegood lives unless they had a just and rea-sonable government

In the Republic Plato described his idealgovernment He divided people into threebasic groups At the top were philosopher-kings who ruled using logic and wisdomWarriors made up the second group Theydefended the state from attack

The third group included the rest of thepeople They were driven by desire not bywisdom like the first group or courage likethe second These people produced thestatersquos food clothing and shelter Plato alsobelieved that men and women should havethe same education and an equal chance tohave the same jobs

Who Was Aristotle Plato established aschool in Athens known as the Academy Hisbest student was Aristotle (AR bulluh bull STAH bull tuhl)Aristotle wrote more than 200 books ontopics ranging from government to theplanets and stars

In 335 BC Aristotle opened his ownschool called the Lyceum At the LyceumAristotle taught his pupils the ldquogoldenmeanrdquo This idea holds that a person shoulddo nothing in excess For example a person

should not eat too little or too much but justenough to stay well

Aristotle also helped to advance scienceHe urged people to use their senses to makeobservations just as scientists today makeobservations Aristotle was the first personto group observations according to their sim-ilarities and differences Then he made gen-eralizations based on the groups of facts

Like Plato Aristotle wrote about gov-ernment He studied and compared thegovernments of 158 different places to findthe best form of government In his bookPolitics Aristotle divided the governmentsinto three types

bull Government by one person such as amonarch (king or queen) or a tyrant

bull Government by a few people whichmight be an aristocracy or an oligarchy

bull Government by many people as in ademocracy

Aristotle noticed that governments runby a few people were usually run by therich He noticed that most democracieswere run by the poor He thought the bestgovernment was a mixture of the two

Aristotlersquos ideas shaped the wayEuropeans and Americans thought aboutgovernment The founders of the UnitedStates Constitution tried to create a mixedgovernment that balanced the differenttypes Aristotle had identified

PLATO AND ARISTOTLEPlato c 428ndash347 BCAristotle 384ndash322 BC

Plato was from a noble Greek family and had planned a career in

politics However he was so horrified by the death of his teacher

Socrates that he left politics and spent many years traveling and

writing When Plato returned to Athens in 387 BC he founded an

academy where he taught using Socratesrsquo method of questioning His

academy drew bright young students from Athens and other Greek

city-states Plato looked for truth beyond the appearances of

everyday objects and reflected this philosophy in his writing and

teaching He believed the human soul was the connection between

the appearance of things and ideas

Plato and Aristotlemdashtwo of the greatest ancient Greek

philosophersmdashmet as teacher and student at Platorsquos Academy in

Athens Aristotle left his home in Stagira and arrived on the Academyrsquos

doorstep when he was eighteen years old He remained at Platorsquos Academy for

20 years until the death of his teacher Unlike Plato Aristotle did not come from

a noble family His father was the court physician to the king of Macedonia At an early

age Aristotlersquos father introduced him to the topics of medicine and biology and these

became his main interests of study Aristotle sought truth through a systematic scientific

approach He liked to jot down notes and details about different

topicsmdashfrom weather to human behaviormdashand arrange them in

categories He did not trust the sensesrsquo ability to understand the

universeAfter Platorsquos death Aristotle traveled for about 12 years

He also tutored the future Alexander the Great Later in his life he

returned to Athens and opened his own school the Lyceum He

made his school the center for research in every area of

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

The key to Alexanderrsquos courage mayhave been his childhood educationAlexander kept a copy of the Iliad under hispillow Most likely his inspiration wasHomerrsquos warrior-hero Achilles In the endAlexanderrsquos reputation outstripped evenAchillesrsquo and today he is called Alexanderthe Great

Alexander the GreatVillain or Hero

Was Alexander the Great really great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

echoed the story until it

went round the whole

Other historians consider Alexander

the Great to be a hero They claim he

brought progress order and culture

to each new land he conquered In

support of him they say Alexander

bull tried to promote learning

bull visited all of his wounded men

after each battle

bull spared the lives of the queen and

princess of Persia

bull built new cities where others had

been destroyed

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

learning and culture

Reading Focus Imagine you are a leading citizen in a

new city How would you make it the best city possible

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

But Greek gods and goddesses were notthought to be all-powerful According toGreek myths even though gods had specialpowers they looked like human beings andacted like them They married had childrenquarreled played tricks on each other andfought wars

Because Greeks sought their godsrsquo favorthey followed many rituals A ritual is a set ofactions carried out in a fixed way As part oftheir rituals the Greeks prayed to their godsand also gave them gifts In return theyhoped that the gods would grant good fortune to them Many Greek festivals hon-ored the gods and goddesses Festivals dedi-cated to Zeus were held at Olympia

The Greeks also believed in an afterlifeWhen people died the Greeks believed theirspirits went to a gloomy world beneath theearth ruled by a god named Hades

What Was a Greek Oracle The Greeksbelieved that each person had a fate or des-tiny They believed that certain events weregoing to happen no matter what they didThey also believed in prophecy A prophecyis a prediction about the future The Greeksbelieved that the gods gave prophecies topeople to warn them about the future intime to change it

To find out about the future manyGreeks visited an oracle (AWR bull uh bull kuhl)This was a sacred shrine where a priest or priestess spoke for a god or goddess Themost famous was the oracle at the Templeof Apollo at Delphi (DEHL bull FY) The oraclechamber was deep inside the temple Theroom had an opening in the floor where vol-canic smoke hissed from a crack in the earth

A priestess sat on a tripodmdasha three-legged stoolmdashin the oracle chamber and lis-tened to questions The priests translatedher answers State leaders or their messen-gers traveled to Delphi to ask advice fromthe oracle of Apollo

The priestess in the oracle often gaveanswers in riddles When one king namedCroesus (KREE bull suhs) sent messengers to theoracle at Delphi they asked if the kingshould go to war with the Persians The ora-cle replied that if Croesus attacked thePersians he would destroy a mighty empireOverjoyed to hear these words Croesusdeclared war on the Persians The Persianarmy crushed his army The mighty empireKing Croesus had destroyed was his own

Explain Why did theGreeks have rituals and festivals for their godsand goddesses

The earliest Greek stories were epics (EH bull pihks) These long poems told about

heroic deeds The first great epics of earlyGreece were the Iliad and the Odyssey Thepoet Homer (HOH bullmuhr) wrote these epicsduring the 700s BC He based them on sto-ries of a war between Greece and the city ofTroy which once existed in what is todaynorthwestern Turkey

The Odyssey tells the story of Odysseusanother Greek hero It describes his journeyhome from the Trojan War Odysseus facesstorms witches and giants before return-ing to his wife Because it took Odysseus 10years to get home we use the word odysseytoday to mean a long journey with manyadventures

Greeks believed the Iliad and theOdyssey were more than stories Theylooked on the epics as real history Thesepoems gave the Greeks an ideal past witha cast of heroes Generations of Greeksread Homerrsquos works One Athenian wroteldquoMy father was anxious to see me developinto a good man [so] he compelled meto memorize all of Homerrdquo

Homerrsquos stories taught courage andhonor They also taught that it was impor-tant to be loyal to your friends and to valuethe relationship between husband andwife The stories showed heroes striving tobe the best they could be Heroes fought toprotect their own honor and their familyrsquoshonor Homerrsquos heroes became role modelsfor Greek boys

Who Was Aesop About 550 BC a Greekslave named Aesop (EE bull SAHP) made up hisnow famous fables A fable (FAY bullbuhl) is ashort tale that teaches a lesson In most ofAesoprsquos fables animals talk and act likepeople These often funny stories point outhuman flaws as well as strengths Eachfable ends with a message or moral

One of the best-known fables is ldquoTheTortoise and the Harerdquo In this fable a tor-toise and a hare decide to race More than

halfway into the race the hare is way aheadHe stops to rest and falls asleep Meanwhilethe tortoise keeps going at a slow but steadypace and finally wins the race

The moral of the story is ldquoslow andsteady wins the racerdquo Some of the phraseswe hear today came from Aesoprsquos fablesldquoSour grapesrdquo ldquoa wolf in sheeprsquos clothingrdquoand ldquoappearances often are deceivingrdquo areexamples

For about 200 years Aesoprsquos fableswere a part of Greecersquos oral tradition Thismeans they were passed from person toperson by word of mouth long before theywere ever written down Since then count-less writers have retold the stories in manydifferent languages

HOMERc 750 BC

Homerrsquos epic poemsmdashthe Iliad and the

Odysseymdashare famous but until the 1900s

historians believed that Homer never existed

Historians now know Homer was a real person

but they still debate whether he wrote his

poems alone or with the help of other poets

Many historians have speculated or made

educated guesses about Homerrsquos personal life

Some say that Homer came from Ionia and

seven cities claim to be his birthplace Some

believe that he was blind Others believe

that he wandered from town to town

Legends tell of Homerrsquos strong

influence on his readers For example as a

young child Alexander the Great is said to

have slept with a copy of the Iliad under his

pillow

Homer used the term aoidos for a poet This word

means ldquosingerrdquo which tells us that the poetry created

during Homerrsquos time was memorized and recited not

written down Usually short simple poems that were

easy to remember were told to an audience as

entertainment

Homer created a different style of poetry that

influenced all Western literature that followed His

epics are long and involve complex characters dramatic

action and interesting events Because each section

of the Iliad and the Odyssey has these characteristics

most historians today think that only one poet

could have created both epics Whoever

Homer was his two epics have

influenced readers for more than

3000 years

In a comedy (KAH bull muh bull dee) the storyends happily Today we use the word comedyto mean a story filled with humor The wordactually means any drama that has a happyending

Greek stories dealt with big questionssuch as

bull What is the nature of good and evilbull What rights should people havebull What role do gods play in our lives

The three best-known writers of Greektragedies were Aeschylus (EHS bull kuh bull luhs)Sophocles (SAH bull fuh bull KLEEZ) and Euripides(yu bull RIH bull puh bull DEEZ) The best-known writerof Greek comedies was Aristophanes (ar bulluh bullSTAH bull fuh bull NEEZ)

Early Greek tragedies had only one actorwho gave speeches and a chorus that sangsongs describing the events Aeschylus wasthe first to introduce the idea of having twoactors This let the writer tell a story involvingconflict between the two people Aeschylusalso introduced costumes props and stagedecorationsmdashall ideas we still use today

One of Aeschylusrsquos best-known plays is a group of three plays called the Oresteia(ohr bull eh bull STY bull uh) Aeschylus wrote theplays in 458 BC They describe what hap-pens when the king of Mycenae returnshome from the Trojan War The Oresteiateaches that evil acts cause more evil actsand suffering In the end however reasontriumphs over evil The moral of theseplays is that people should not seekrevenge

Sophocles a general and a writer of playsdeveloped drama even further He usedthree actors in his stories instead of one ortwo He also placed painted scenes behindthe stage as a backdrop to the action Two ofSophoclesrsquo most famous plays are OedipusRex (EH bull duh bull puhs REHKS) and Antigone (an bull TIH bull guh bull nee) In Antigone Sophocles

asks the question ldquoIs it better to followorders or to do what is rightrdquo

Euripides a later playwright tried totake Greek drama beyond heroes and godsHis characters were more down-to-earthEuripidesrsquo plots show a great interest inreal-life situations He questioned tradi-tional thinking especially about war Heshowed war as cruel and women and chil-dren as its victims

The works of Aristophanes are goodexamples of comedies They make fun ofleading politicians and scholars Theyencourage the audience to think as well asto laugh Many of Aristophanesrsquo playsincluded jokes just like popular televisioncomedies do today

Among all those mortals who grew so wise that they learned thesecrets of the gods none was more cunning than Daedalus1

He once built for King Minos of Crete a wonderful Labyrinth ofwinding ways so cunningly tangled up and twisted around thatonce inside you could never find your way out again without amagic clue But the kingrsquos favor veered with the wind and one dayhe had his master architect imprisoned in a tower Daedalusmanaged to escape from his cell but it seemed impossible to leavethe island since every ship that came or went was well guarded byorder of the king

At length watching the sea-gulls in the airmdashthe only creaturesthat were sure of libertymdashhe thought of a plan for himself and hisyoung son Icarus2 who was captive with him

Little by little he gathered a store of feathers great and smallHe fastened these together with thread moulded them in with waxand so fashioned two great wings like those of a bird When theywere done Daedalus fitted them to his own shoulders and afterone or two efforts he found that by waving his arms he couldwinnow the air and cleave3 it as a swimmer does the seaHe held himself aloft wavered this way and that with the wind and at last like a great fledgling4 he learned to fly

Without delay he fell to work on a pair of wings for the boyIcarus and taught him carefully how to use them bidding himbeware of rash adventures among the stars ldquoRememberrdquo said thefather ldquonever fly very low or very high for the fogs about the earthwould weigh you down but the blaze of the sun will surely meltyour feathers apart if you go too nearrdquo

For Icarus these cautions went in at one ear and out by theother Who could remember to be careful when he was to fly for thefirst time Are birds careful Not they And not an idea remained inthe boyrsquos head but the one joy of escape

The day came and the fair wind that was to set them free Thefather bird put on his wings and while the light urged them to begone he waited to see that all was well with Icarus for the twocould not fly hand in hand Up they rose the boy after his fatherThe hateful ground of Crete sank beneath them and the countryfolk who caught a glimpse of them when they were high abovethe tree-tops took it for a vision of the godsmdashApollo5

Alas for him Warmer and warmer grew the air Thosearms that had seemed to uphold him relaxed His wingswavered drooped He fluttered his young hands vainlymdashhe was fallingmdashand in that terror he remembered The heat of the sun had melted the wax from his wings the feathers were fallingone by one like snowflakes and there was none to help

He fell like a leaf tossed down the wind downdown with one cry that overtook Daedalus far away When he returned and sought high and low for the poor boy he saw nothing but the bird-like feathers afloat on the water and he knew that Icarus was drowned

They developed the art of public speak-ing and debate

He created the Socratic method of teaching

He described his vision of the ideal government in his work the Republic

The Ideas of Socrates One critic of theSophists was Socrates (SAH bull kruh bull TEEZ)Socrates was an Athenian sculptor whosetrue love was philosophy Socrates left nowritings behind What we know abouthim we have learned from the writings ofhis students

Socrates believed that an absolute truthexisted and that all real knowledge waswithin each person He invented the Socratic method (suh bullKRA bull tihk) of teachingstill used today He asked pointed questionsto force his pupils to use their reason and tosee things for themselves

Some Athenian leaders considered theSocratic method a threat to their power At one time Athens had a tradition of ques-tioning leaders and speaking freelyHowever their defeat in the PeloponnesianWar changed the Athenians They no longertrusted open debate In 399 BC the leadersaccused Socrates of teaching youngAthenians to rebel against the state A juryfound Socrates guilty and sentenced him todeath Socrates could have fled the city but

he chose to remain He argued that he hadlived under the cityrsquos laws so he had toobey them He then drank poison to carryout the juryrsquos sentence

The Ideas of Plato One of Socratesrsquo stu-dents was Plato (PLAY bull toh) Unlike Socrateswe are able to learn a lot about Plato fromhis writings One work Plato wrote is calledthe Republic It explains his ideas about gov-ernment Based on life in Athens Platodecided that democracy was not a goodsystem of government He did not thinkthat rule by the people produced fair or sen-sible policies To him people could not livegood lives unless they had a just and rea-sonable government

In the Republic Plato described his idealgovernment He divided people into threebasic groups At the top were philosopher-kings who ruled using logic and wisdomWarriors made up the second group Theydefended the state from attack

The third group included the rest of thepeople They were driven by desire not bywisdom like the first group or courage likethe second These people produced thestatersquos food clothing and shelter Plato alsobelieved that men and women should havethe same education and an equal chance tohave the same jobs

Who Was Aristotle Plato established aschool in Athens known as the Academy Hisbest student was Aristotle (AR bulluh bull STAH bull tuhl)Aristotle wrote more than 200 books ontopics ranging from government to theplanets and stars

In 335 BC Aristotle opened his ownschool called the Lyceum At the LyceumAristotle taught his pupils the ldquogoldenmeanrdquo This idea holds that a person shoulddo nothing in excess For example a person

should not eat too little or too much but justenough to stay well

Aristotle also helped to advance scienceHe urged people to use their senses to makeobservations just as scientists today makeobservations Aristotle was the first personto group observations according to their sim-ilarities and differences Then he made gen-eralizations based on the groups of facts

Like Plato Aristotle wrote about gov-ernment He studied and compared thegovernments of 158 different places to findthe best form of government In his bookPolitics Aristotle divided the governmentsinto three types

bull Government by one person such as amonarch (king or queen) or a tyrant

bull Government by a few people whichmight be an aristocracy or an oligarchy

bull Government by many people as in ademocracy

Aristotle noticed that governments runby a few people were usually run by therich He noticed that most democracieswere run by the poor He thought the bestgovernment was a mixture of the two

Aristotlersquos ideas shaped the wayEuropeans and Americans thought aboutgovernment The founders of the UnitedStates Constitution tried to create a mixedgovernment that balanced the differenttypes Aristotle had identified

Contrast How didAristotlersquos idea of government differ from Platorsquos

What present-day careers or subjects of study

require lifelong learning

PLATO AND ARISTOTLEPlato c 428ndash347 BCAristotle 384ndash322 BC

Plato was from a noble Greek family and had planned a career in

politics However he was so horrified by the death of his teacher

Socrates that he left politics and spent many years traveling and

writing When Plato returned to Athens in 387 BC he founded an

academy where he taught using Socratesrsquo method of questioning His

academy drew bright young students from Athens and other Greek

city-states Plato looked for truth beyond the appearances of

everyday objects and reflected this philosophy in his writing and

teaching He believed the human soul was the connection between

the appearance of things and ideas

Plato and Aristotlemdashtwo of the greatest ancient Greek

philosophersmdashmet as teacher and student at Platorsquos Academy in

Athens Aristotle left his home in Stagira and arrived on the Academyrsquos

doorstep when he was eighteen years old He remained at Platorsquos Academy for

20 years until the death of his teacher Unlike Plato Aristotle did not come from

a noble family His father was the court physician to the king of Macedonia At an early

age Aristotlersquos father introduced him to the topics of medicine and biology and these

became his main interests of study Aristotle sought truth through a systematic scientific

approach He liked to jot down notes and details about different

topicsmdashfrom weather to human behaviormdashand arrange them in

categories He did not trust the sensesrsquo ability to understand the

universeAfter Platorsquos death Aristotle traveled for about 12 years

He also tutored the future Alexander the Great Later in his life he

returned to Athens and opened his own school the Lyceum He

made his school the center for research in every area of

knowledge known to the Greeks

find out what Greek historians thought was important

In most places in the ancient world peo-ple did not write history Legends andmyths explained their past Some civiliza-tions kept long lists of rulers and the datesthey were in power but no one tried toexplain the past by studying events Thenin 435 BC a Greek named Herodotus (hih bullRAH bull duh bull tuhs) wrote the history of thePersian Wars

In his book Herodotus tried to separatefact from legend He asked questionsrecorded answers and checked the truthful-ness of his sources Although his historyincludes some errors and uses gods and god-desses to explain some events Western histo-rians consider him the ldquofather of historyrdquo

Many historians consider Thucydides(thoo bullSIH bullduh bull DEEZ) the greatest historian ofthe ancient world Thucydides fought in thePeloponnesian War After he lost a battle hewas sent into exile There he wrote hisHistory of the Peloponnesian War

Unlike Herodotus Thucydides saw warand politics as the activities of humanbeings not gods He also stressed theimportance of having accurate facts

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

The key to Alexanderrsquos courage mayhave been his childhood educationAlexander kept a copy of the Iliad under hispillow Most likely his inspiration wasHomerrsquos warrior-hero Achilles In the endAlexanderrsquos reputation outstripped evenAchillesrsquo and today he is called Alexanderthe Great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

Contrast What were thedifferences between Epicureanism and Stoicism

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

Euclid (YOO bullkluhd) is probably the mostfamous Greek mathematician His best-known book Elements describes plane geometry Plane geometry (jee bull AH bull muh bulltree) is the branch of mathematics that shows

But Greek gods and goddesses were notthought to be all-powerful According toGreek myths even though gods had specialpowers they looked like human beings andacted like them They married had childrenquarreled played tricks on each other andfought wars

Because Greeks sought their godsrsquo favorthey followed many rituals A ritual is a set ofactions carried out in a fixed way As part oftheir rituals the Greeks prayed to their godsand also gave them gifts In return theyhoped that the gods would grant good fortune to them Many Greek festivals hon-ored the gods and goddesses Festivals dedi-cated to Zeus were held at Olympia

The Greeks also believed in an afterlifeWhen people died the Greeks believed theirspirits went to a gloomy world beneath theearth ruled by a god named Hades

What Was a Greek Oracle The Greeksbelieved that each person had a fate or des-tiny They believed that certain events weregoing to happen no matter what they didThey also believed in prophecy A prophecyis a prediction about the future The Greeksbelieved that the gods gave prophecies topeople to warn them about the future intime to change it

To find out about the future manyGreeks visited an oracle (AWR bull uh bull kuhl)This was a sacred shrine where a priest or priestess spoke for a god or goddess Themost famous was the oracle at the Templeof Apollo at Delphi (DEHL bull FY) The oraclechamber was deep inside the temple Theroom had an opening in the floor where vol-canic smoke hissed from a crack in the earth

A priestess sat on a tripodmdasha three-legged stoolmdashin the oracle chamber and lis-tened to questions The priests translatedher answers State leaders or their messen-gers traveled to Delphi to ask advice fromthe oracle of Apollo

The priestess in the oracle often gaveanswers in riddles When one king namedCroesus (KREE bull suhs) sent messengers to theoracle at Delphi they asked if the kingshould go to war with the Persians The ora-cle replied that if Croesus attacked thePersians he would destroy a mighty empireOverjoyed to hear these words Croesusdeclared war on the Persians The Persianarmy crushed his army The mighty empireKing Croesus had destroyed was his own

Explain Why did theGreeks have rituals and festivals for their godsand goddesses

The earliest Greek stories were epics (EH bull pihks) These long poems told about

heroic deeds The first great epics of earlyGreece were the Iliad and the Odyssey Thepoet Homer (HOH bullmuhr) wrote these epicsduring the 700s BC He based them on sto-ries of a war between Greece and the city ofTroy which once existed in what is todaynorthwestern Turkey

The Odyssey tells the story of Odysseusanother Greek hero It describes his journeyhome from the Trojan War Odysseus facesstorms witches and giants before return-ing to his wife Because it took Odysseus 10years to get home we use the word odysseytoday to mean a long journey with manyadventures

Greeks believed the Iliad and theOdyssey were more than stories Theylooked on the epics as real history Thesepoems gave the Greeks an ideal past witha cast of heroes Generations of Greeksread Homerrsquos works One Athenian wroteldquoMy father was anxious to see me developinto a good man [so] he compelled meto memorize all of Homerrdquo

Homerrsquos stories taught courage andhonor They also taught that it was impor-tant to be loyal to your friends and to valuethe relationship between husband andwife The stories showed heroes striving tobe the best they could be Heroes fought toprotect their own honor and their familyrsquoshonor Homerrsquos heroes became role modelsfor Greek boys

Who Was Aesop About 550 BC a Greekslave named Aesop (EE bull SAHP) made up hisnow famous fables A fable (FAY bullbuhl) is ashort tale that teaches a lesson In most ofAesoprsquos fables animals talk and act likepeople These often funny stories point outhuman flaws as well as strengths Eachfable ends with a message or moral

One of the best-known fables is ldquoTheTortoise and the Harerdquo In this fable a tor-toise and a hare decide to race More than

halfway into the race the hare is way aheadHe stops to rest and falls asleep Meanwhilethe tortoise keeps going at a slow but steadypace and finally wins the race

The moral of the story is ldquoslow andsteady wins the racerdquo Some of the phraseswe hear today came from Aesoprsquos fablesldquoSour grapesrdquo ldquoa wolf in sheeprsquos clothingrdquoand ldquoappearances often are deceivingrdquo areexamples

For about 200 years Aesoprsquos fableswere a part of Greecersquos oral tradition Thismeans they were passed from person toperson by word of mouth long before theywere ever written down Since then count-less writers have retold the stories in manydifferent languages

HOMERc 750 BC

Homerrsquos epic poemsmdashthe Iliad and the

Odysseymdashare famous but until the 1900s

historians believed that Homer never existed

Historians now know Homer was a real person

but they still debate whether he wrote his

poems alone or with the help of other poets

Many historians have speculated or made

educated guesses about Homerrsquos personal life

Some say that Homer came from Ionia and

seven cities claim to be his birthplace Some

believe that he was blind Others believe

that he wandered from town to town

Legends tell of Homerrsquos strong

influence on his readers For example as a

young child Alexander the Great is said to

have slept with a copy of the Iliad under his

pillow

Homer used the term aoidos for a poet This word

means ldquosingerrdquo which tells us that the poetry created

during Homerrsquos time was memorized and recited not

written down Usually short simple poems that were

easy to remember were told to an audience as

entertainment

Homer created a different style of poetry that

influenced all Western literature that followed His

epics are long and involve complex characters dramatic

action and interesting events Because each section

of the Iliad and the Odyssey has these characteristics

most historians today think that only one poet

could have created both epics Whoever

Homer was his two epics have

influenced readers for more than

3000 years

In a comedy (KAH bull muh bull dee) the storyends happily Today we use the word comedyto mean a story filled with humor The wordactually means any drama that has a happyending

Greek stories dealt with big questionssuch as

bull What is the nature of good and evilbull What rights should people havebull What role do gods play in our lives

The three best-known writers of Greektragedies were Aeschylus (EHS bull kuh bull luhs)Sophocles (SAH bull fuh bull KLEEZ) and Euripides(yu bull RIH bull puh bull DEEZ) The best-known writerof Greek comedies was Aristophanes (ar bulluh bullSTAH bull fuh bull NEEZ)

Early Greek tragedies had only one actorwho gave speeches and a chorus that sangsongs describing the events Aeschylus wasthe first to introduce the idea of having twoactors This let the writer tell a story involvingconflict between the two people Aeschylusalso introduced costumes props and stagedecorationsmdashall ideas we still use today

One of Aeschylusrsquos best-known plays is a group of three plays called the Oresteia(ohr bull eh bull STY bull uh) Aeschylus wrote theplays in 458 BC They describe what hap-pens when the king of Mycenae returnshome from the Trojan War The Oresteiateaches that evil acts cause more evil actsand suffering In the end however reasontriumphs over evil The moral of theseplays is that people should not seekrevenge

Sophocles a general and a writer of playsdeveloped drama even further He usedthree actors in his stories instead of one ortwo He also placed painted scenes behindthe stage as a backdrop to the action Two ofSophoclesrsquo most famous plays are OedipusRex (EH bull duh bull puhs REHKS) and Antigone (an bull TIH bull guh bull nee) In Antigone Sophocles

asks the question ldquoIs it better to followorders or to do what is rightrdquo

Euripides a later playwright tried totake Greek drama beyond heroes and godsHis characters were more down-to-earthEuripidesrsquo plots show a great interest inreal-life situations He questioned tradi-tional thinking especially about war Heshowed war as cruel and women and chil-dren as its victims

The works of Aristophanes are goodexamples of comedies They make fun ofleading politicians and scholars Theyencourage the audience to think as well asto laugh Many of Aristophanesrsquo playsincluded jokes just like popular televisioncomedies do today

Among all those mortals who grew so wise that they learned thesecrets of the gods none was more cunning than Daedalus1

He once built for King Minos of Crete a wonderful Labyrinth ofwinding ways so cunningly tangled up and twisted around thatonce inside you could never find your way out again without amagic clue But the kingrsquos favor veered with the wind and one dayhe had his master architect imprisoned in a tower Daedalusmanaged to escape from his cell but it seemed impossible to leavethe island since every ship that came or went was well guarded byorder of the king

At length watching the sea-gulls in the airmdashthe only creaturesthat were sure of libertymdashhe thought of a plan for himself and hisyoung son Icarus2 who was captive with him

Little by little he gathered a store of feathers great and smallHe fastened these together with thread moulded them in with waxand so fashioned two great wings like those of a bird When theywere done Daedalus fitted them to his own shoulders and afterone or two efforts he found that by waving his arms he couldwinnow the air and cleave3 it as a swimmer does the seaHe held himself aloft wavered this way and that with the wind and at last like a great fledgling4 he learned to fly

Without delay he fell to work on a pair of wings for the boyIcarus and taught him carefully how to use them bidding himbeware of rash adventures among the stars ldquoRememberrdquo said thefather ldquonever fly very low or very high for the fogs about the earthwould weigh you down but the blaze of the sun will surely meltyour feathers apart if you go too nearrdquo

For Icarus these cautions went in at one ear and out by theother Who could remember to be careful when he was to fly for thefirst time Are birds careful Not they And not an idea remained inthe boyrsquos head but the one joy of escape

The day came and the fair wind that was to set them free Thefather bird put on his wings and while the light urged them to begone he waited to see that all was well with Icarus for the twocould not fly hand in hand Up they rose the boy after his fatherThe hateful ground of Crete sank beneath them and the countryfolk who caught a glimpse of them when they were high abovethe tree-tops took it for a vision of the godsmdashApollo5

He longed for one draught9 of flight to quench the thirst ofhis captivity he stretched out his arms to the sky and madetoward the highest heavens

Alas for him Warmer and warmer grew the air Thosearms that had seemed to uphold him relaxed His wingswavered drooped He fluttered his young hands vainlymdashhe was fallingmdashand in that terror he remembered The heat of the sun had melted the wax from his wings the feathers were fallingone by one like snowflakes and there was none to help

He fell like a leaf tossed down the wind downdown with one cry that overtook Daedalus far away When he returned and sought high and low for the poor boy he saw nothing but the bird-like feathers afloat on the water and he knew that Icarus was drowned

Sophists like Libanius(above) thought that people should use knowledge to improvethemselves They believed that there is no absolute right or wrong

He rejected the ideaof democracy as a form of governmentPlato believed that philosopher-kings should rule society

Aristotle taught the idea of the ldquogolden meanrdquo He believed observation and comparison werenecessary to gainknowledge

The importance of public speaking can be seen in political debates between candidates

His methods influenced the way teachers interact with their students

He introduced the idea that govern-ment should be fair and just

His political ideas still shape political ideas today

They developed the art of public speak-ing and debate

He created the Socratic method of teaching

He described his vision of the ideal government in his work the Republic

He wrote over 200 books on philoso-phy and science He divided all govern-ments into threebasic types

He was a critic of the Sophists Socrates believed that there was an absolute right and wrong

Sophists Socrates Plato Aristotle

Sophists did not believe that gods andgoddesses influenced people They alsorejected the idea of absolute right or wrongThey believed that what was right for oneperson might be wrong for another

The Ideas of Socrates One critic of theSophists was Socrates (SAH bull kruh bull TEEZ)Socrates was an Athenian sculptor whosetrue love was philosophy Socrates left nowritings behind What we know abouthim we have learned from the writings ofhis students

Socrates believed that an absolute truthexisted and that all real knowledge waswithin each person He invented the Socratic method (suh bullKRA bull tihk) of teachingstill used today He asked pointed questionsto force his pupils to use their reason and tosee things for themselves

Some Athenian leaders considered theSocratic method a threat to their power At one time Athens had a tradition of ques-tioning leaders and speaking freelyHowever their defeat in the PeloponnesianWar changed the Athenians They no longertrusted open debate In 399 BC the leadersaccused Socrates of teaching youngAthenians to rebel against the state A juryfound Socrates guilty and sentenced him todeath Socrates could have fled the city but

he chose to remain He argued that he hadlived under the cityrsquos laws so he had toobey them He then drank poison to carryout the juryrsquos sentence

The Ideas of Plato One of Socratesrsquo stu-dents was Plato (PLAY bull toh) Unlike Socrateswe are able to learn a lot about Plato fromhis writings One work Plato wrote is calledthe Republic It explains his ideas about gov-ernment Based on life in Athens Platodecided that democracy was not a goodsystem of government He did not thinkthat rule by the people produced fair or sen-sible policies To him people could not livegood lives unless they had a just and rea-sonable government

In the Republic Plato described his idealgovernment He divided people into threebasic groups At the top were philosopher-kings who ruled using logic and wisdomWarriors made up the second group Theydefended the state from attack

The third group included the rest of thepeople They were driven by desire not bywisdom like the first group or courage likethe second These people produced thestatersquos food clothing and shelter Plato alsobelieved that men and women should havethe same education and an equal chance tohave the same jobs

Who Was Aristotle Plato established aschool in Athens known as the Academy Hisbest student was Aristotle (AR bulluh bull STAH bull tuhl)Aristotle wrote more than 200 books ontopics ranging from government to theplanets and stars

In 335 BC Aristotle opened his ownschool called the Lyceum At the LyceumAristotle taught his pupils the ldquogoldenmeanrdquo This idea holds that a person shoulddo nothing in excess For example a person

should not eat too little or too much but justenough to stay well

Aristotle also helped to advance scienceHe urged people to use their senses to makeobservations just as scientists today makeobservations Aristotle was the first personto group observations according to their sim-ilarities and differences Then he made gen-eralizations based on the groups of facts

Like Plato Aristotle wrote about gov-ernment He studied and compared thegovernments of 158 different places to findthe best form of government In his bookPolitics Aristotle divided the governmentsinto three types

bull Government by one person such as amonarch (king or queen) or a tyrant

bull Government by a few people whichmight be an aristocracy or an oligarchy

bull Government by many people as in ademocracy

Aristotle noticed that governments runby a few people were usually run by therich He noticed that most democracieswere run by the poor He thought the bestgovernment was a mixture of the two

Aristotlersquos ideas shaped the wayEuropeans and Americans thought aboutgovernment The founders of the UnitedStates Constitution tried to create a mixedgovernment that balanced the differenttypes Aristotle had identified

PLATO AND ARISTOTLEPlato c 428ndash347 BCAristotle 384ndash322 BC

Plato was from a noble Greek family and had planned a career in

politics However he was so horrified by the death of his teacher

Socrates that he left politics and spent many years traveling and

writing When Plato returned to Athens in 387 BC he founded an

academy where he taught using Socratesrsquo method of questioning His

academy drew bright young students from Athens and other Greek

city-states Plato looked for truth beyond the appearances of

everyday objects and reflected this philosophy in his writing and

teaching He believed the human soul was the connection between

the appearance of things and ideas

Plato and Aristotlemdashtwo of the greatest ancient Greek

philosophersmdashmet as teacher and student at Platorsquos Academy in

Athens Aristotle left his home in Stagira and arrived on the Academyrsquos

doorstep when he was eighteen years old He remained at Platorsquos Academy for

20 years until the death of his teacher Unlike Plato Aristotle did not come from

a noble family His father was the court physician to the king of Macedonia At an early

age Aristotlersquos father introduced him to the topics of medicine and biology and these

became his main interests of study Aristotle sought truth through a systematic scientific

approach He liked to jot down notes and details about different

topicsmdashfrom weather to human behaviormdashand arrange them in

categories He did not trust the sensesrsquo ability to understand the

universeAfter Platorsquos death Aristotle traveled for about 12 years

He also tutored the future Alexander the Great Later in his life he

returned to Athens and opened his own school the Lyceum He

made his school the center for research in every area of

In his book Herodotus tried to separatefact from legend He asked questionsrecorded answers and checked the truthful-ness of his sources Although his historyincludes some errors and uses gods and god-desses to explain some events Western histo-rians consider him the ldquofather of historyrdquo

Many historians consider Thucydides(thoo bullSIH bullduh bull DEEZ) the greatest historian ofthe ancient world Thucydides fought in thePeloponnesian War After he lost a battle hewas sent into exile There he wrote hisHistory of the Peloponnesian War

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

The key to Alexanderrsquos courage mayhave been his childhood educationAlexander kept a copy of the Iliad under hispillow Most likely his inspiration wasHomerrsquos warrior-hero Achilles In the endAlexanderrsquos reputation outstripped evenAchillesrsquo and today he is called Alexanderthe Great

Alexander the GreatVillain or Hero

Was Alexander the Great really great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

echoed the story until it

went round the whole

worldrdquomdashMichael Wood

Other historians consider Alexander

the Great to be a hero They claim he

brought progress order and culture

to each new land he conquered In

support of him they say Alexander

bull tried to promote learning

bull visited all of his wounded men

after each battle

bull spared the lives of the queen and

princess of Persia

bull built new cities where others had

been destroyed

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

Greek Culture SpreadsHellenistic cities became centers of

learning and culture

Reading Focus Imagine you are a leading citizen in a

new city How would you make it the best city possible

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

scientists from the Hellenistic Era

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

But Greek gods and goddesses were notthought to be all-powerful According toGreek myths even though gods had specialpowers they looked like human beings andacted like them They married had childrenquarreled played tricks on each other andfought wars

Because Greeks sought their godsrsquo favorthey followed many rituals A ritual is a set ofactions carried out in a fixed way As part oftheir rituals the Greeks prayed to their godsand also gave them gifts In return theyhoped that the gods would grant good fortune to them Many Greek festivals hon-ored the gods and goddesses Festivals dedi-cated to Zeus were held at Olympia

The Greeks also believed in an afterlifeWhen people died the Greeks believed theirspirits went to a gloomy world beneath theearth ruled by a god named Hades

What Was a Greek Oracle The Greeksbelieved that each person had a fate or des-tiny They believed that certain events weregoing to happen no matter what they didThey also believed in prophecy A prophecyis a prediction about the future The Greeksbelieved that the gods gave prophecies topeople to warn them about the future intime to change it

To find out about the future manyGreeks visited an oracle (AWR bull uh bull kuhl)This was a sacred shrine where a priest or priestess spoke for a god or goddess Themost famous was the oracle at the Templeof Apollo at Delphi (DEHL bull FY) The oraclechamber was deep inside the temple Theroom had an opening in the floor where vol-canic smoke hissed from a crack in the earth

A priestess sat on a tripodmdasha three-legged stoolmdashin the oracle chamber and lis-tened to questions The priests translatedher answers State leaders or their messen-gers traveled to Delphi to ask advice fromthe oracle of Apollo

The priestess in the oracle often gaveanswers in riddles When one king namedCroesus (KREE bull suhs) sent messengers to theoracle at Delphi they asked if the kingshould go to war with the Persians The ora-cle replied that if Croesus attacked thePersians he would destroy a mighty empireOverjoyed to hear these words Croesusdeclared war on the Persians The Persianarmy crushed his army The mighty empireKing Croesus had destroyed was his own

The earliest Greek stories were epics (EH bull pihks) These long poems told about

heroic deeds The first great epics of earlyGreece were the Iliad and the Odyssey Thepoet Homer (HOH bullmuhr) wrote these epicsduring the 700s BC He based them on sto-ries of a war between Greece and the city ofTroy which once existed in what is todaynorthwestern Turkey

The Odyssey tells the story of Odysseusanother Greek hero It describes his journeyhome from the Trojan War Odysseus facesstorms witches and giants before return-ing to his wife Because it took Odysseus 10years to get home we use the word odysseytoday to mean a long journey with manyadventures

Greeks believed the Iliad and theOdyssey were more than stories Theylooked on the epics as real history Thesepoems gave the Greeks an ideal past witha cast of heroes Generations of Greeksread Homerrsquos works One Athenian wroteldquoMy father was anxious to see me developinto a good man [so] he compelled meto memorize all of Homerrdquo

Homerrsquos stories taught courage andhonor They also taught that it was impor-tant to be loyal to your friends and to valuethe relationship between husband andwife The stories showed heroes striving tobe the best they could be Heroes fought toprotect their own honor and their familyrsquoshonor Homerrsquos heroes became role modelsfor Greek boys

Who Was Aesop About 550 BC a Greekslave named Aesop (EE bull SAHP) made up hisnow famous fables A fable (FAY bullbuhl) is ashort tale that teaches a lesson In most ofAesoprsquos fables animals talk and act likepeople These often funny stories point outhuman flaws as well as strengths Eachfable ends with a message or moral

One of the best-known fables is ldquoTheTortoise and the Harerdquo In this fable a tor-toise and a hare decide to race More than

halfway into the race the hare is way aheadHe stops to rest and falls asleep Meanwhilethe tortoise keeps going at a slow but steadypace and finally wins the race

The moral of the story is ldquoslow andsteady wins the racerdquo Some of the phraseswe hear today came from Aesoprsquos fablesldquoSour grapesrdquo ldquoa wolf in sheeprsquos clothingrdquoand ldquoappearances often are deceivingrdquo areexamples

For about 200 years Aesoprsquos fableswere a part of Greecersquos oral tradition Thismeans they were passed from person toperson by word of mouth long before theywere ever written down Since then count-less writers have retold the stories in manydifferent languages

historians believed that Homer never existed

Historians now know Homer was a real person

but they still debate whether he wrote his

poems alone or with the help of other poets

Many historians have speculated or made

educated guesses about Homerrsquos personal life

Some say that Homer came from Ionia and

seven cities claim to be his birthplace Some

believe that he was blind Others believe

that he wandered from town to town

Legends tell of Homerrsquos strong

influence on his readers For example as a

young child Alexander the Great is said to

have slept with a copy of the Iliad under his

Todayrsquos movies plays and televisionshows are all examples of drama

Tragedies and Comedies The Greeks per-formed plays in outdoor theaters as part oftheir religious festivals They developed twokinds of dramasmdashcomedies and tragedies

In a comedy (KAH bull muh bull dee) the storyends happily Today we use the word comedyto mean a story filled with humor The wordactually means any drama that has a happyending

Greek stories dealt with big questionssuch as

bull What is the nature of good and evilbull What rights should people havebull What role do gods play in our lives

The three best-known writers of Greektragedies were Aeschylus (EHS bull kuh bull luhs)Sophocles (SAH bull fuh bull KLEEZ) and Euripides(yu bull RIH bull puh bull DEEZ) The best-known writerof Greek comedies was Aristophanes (ar bulluh bullSTAH bull fuh bull NEEZ)

Early Greek tragedies had only one actorwho gave speeches and a chorus that sangsongs describing the events Aeschylus wasthe first to introduce the idea of having twoactors This let the writer tell a story involvingconflict between the two people Aeschylusalso introduced costumes props and stagedecorationsmdashall ideas we still use today

One of Aeschylusrsquos best-known plays is a group of three plays called the Oresteia(ohr bull eh bull STY bull uh) Aeschylus wrote theplays in 458 BC They describe what hap-pens when the king of Mycenae returnshome from the Trojan War The Oresteiateaches that evil acts cause more evil actsand suffering In the end however reasontriumphs over evil The moral of theseplays is that people should not seekrevenge

Sophocles a general and a writer of playsdeveloped drama even further He usedthree actors in his stories instead of one ortwo He also placed painted scenes behindthe stage as a backdrop to the action Two ofSophoclesrsquo most famous plays are OedipusRex (EH bull duh bull puhs REHKS) and Antigone (an bull TIH bull guh bull nee) In Antigone Sophocles

asks the question ldquoIs it better to followorders or to do what is rightrdquo

Euripides a later playwright tried totake Greek drama beyond heroes and godsHis characters were more down-to-earthEuripidesrsquo plots show a great interest inreal-life situations He questioned tradi-tional thinking especially about war Heshowed war as cruel and women and chil-dren as its victims

The works of Aristophanes are goodexamples of comedies They make fun ofleading politicians and scholars Theyencourage the audience to think as well asto laugh Many of Aristophanesrsquo playsincluded jokes just like popular televisioncomedies do today

Among all those mortals who grew so wise that they learned thesecrets of the gods none was more cunning than Daedalus1

He once built for King Minos of Crete a wonderful Labyrinth ofwinding ways so cunningly tangled up and twisted around thatonce inside you could never find your way out again without amagic clue But the kingrsquos favor veered with the wind and one dayhe had his master architect imprisoned in a tower Daedalusmanaged to escape from his cell but it seemed impossible to leavethe island since every ship that came or went was well guarded byorder of the king

At length watching the sea-gulls in the airmdashthe only creaturesthat were sure of libertymdashhe thought of a plan for himself and hisyoung son Icarus2 who was captive with him

Little by little he gathered a store of feathers great and smallHe fastened these together with thread moulded them in with waxand so fashioned two great wings like those of a bird When theywere done Daedalus fitted them to his own shoulders and afterone or two efforts he found that by waving his arms he couldwinnow the air and cleave3 it as a swimmer does the seaHe held himself aloft wavered this way and that with the wind and at last like a great fledgling4 he learned to fly

Without delay he fell to work on a pair of wings for the boyIcarus and taught him carefully how to use them bidding himbeware of rash adventures among the stars ldquoRememberrdquo said thefather ldquonever fly very low or very high for the fogs about the earthwould weigh you down but the blaze of the sun will surely meltyour feathers apart if you go too nearrdquo

For Icarus these cautions went in at one ear and out by theother Who could remember to be careful when he was to fly for thefirst time Are birds careful Not they And not an idea remained inthe boyrsquos head but the one joy of escape

The day came and the fair wind that was to set them free Thefather bird put on his wings and while the light urged them to begone he waited to see that all was well with Icarus for the twocould not fly hand in hand Up they rose the boy after his fatherThe hateful ground of Crete sank beneath them and the countryfolk who caught a glimpse of them when they were high abovethe tree-tops took it for a vision of the godsmdashApollo5

Alas for him Warmer and warmer grew the air Thosearms that had seemed to uphold him relaxed His wingswavered drooped He fluttered his young hands vainlymdashhe was fallingmdashand in that terror he remembered The heat of the sun had melted the wax from his wings the feathers were fallingone by one like snowflakes and there was none to help

He fell like a leaf tossed down the wind downdown with one cry that overtook Daedalus far away When he returned and sought high and low for the poor boy he saw nothing but the bird-like feathers afloat on the water and he knew that Icarus was drowned

Aristotle taught the idea of the ldquogolden meanrdquo He believed observation and comparison werenecessary to gainknowledge

He created the Socratic method of teaching

He described his vision of the ideal government in his work the Republic

He was a critic of the Sophists Socrates believed that there was an absolute right and wrong

Sophists Socrates Plato Aristotle

Sophists did not believe that gods andgoddesses influenced people They alsorejected the idea of absolute right or wrongThey believed that what was right for oneperson might be wrong for another

The Ideas of Socrates One critic of theSophists was Socrates (SAH bull kruh bull TEEZ)Socrates was an Athenian sculptor whosetrue love was philosophy Socrates left nowritings behind What we know abouthim we have learned from the writings ofhis students

Socrates believed that an absolute truthexisted and that all real knowledge waswithin each person He invented the Socratic method (suh bullKRA bull tihk) of teachingstill used today He asked pointed questionsto force his pupils to use their reason and tosee things for themselves

Some Athenian leaders considered theSocratic method a threat to their power At one time Athens had a tradition of ques-tioning leaders and speaking freelyHowever their defeat in the PeloponnesianWar changed the Athenians They no longertrusted open debate In 399 BC the leadersaccused Socrates of teaching youngAthenians to rebel against the state A juryfound Socrates guilty and sentenced him todeath Socrates could have fled the city but

he chose to remain He argued that he hadlived under the cityrsquos laws so he had toobey them He then drank poison to carryout the juryrsquos sentence

The Ideas of Plato One of Socratesrsquo stu-dents was Plato (PLAY bull toh) Unlike Socrateswe are able to learn a lot about Plato fromhis writings One work Plato wrote is calledthe Republic It explains his ideas about gov-ernment Based on life in Athens Platodecided that democracy was not a goodsystem of government He did not thinkthat rule by the people produced fair or sen-sible policies To him people could not livegood lives unless they had a just and rea-sonable government

In the Republic Plato described his idealgovernment He divided people into threebasic groups At the top were philosopher-kings who ruled using logic and wisdomWarriors made up the second group Theydefended the state from attack

The third group included the rest of thepeople They were driven by desire not bywisdom like the first group or courage likethe second These people produced thestatersquos food clothing and shelter Plato alsobelieved that men and women should havethe same education and an equal chance tohave the same jobs

Who Was Aristotle Plato established aschool in Athens known as the Academy Hisbest student was Aristotle (AR bulluh bull STAH bull tuhl)Aristotle wrote more than 200 books ontopics ranging from government to theplanets and stars

In 335 BC Aristotle opened his ownschool called the Lyceum At the LyceumAristotle taught his pupils the ldquogoldenmeanrdquo This idea holds that a person shoulddo nothing in excess For example a person

should not eat too little or too much but justenough to stay well

Aristotle also helped to advance scienceHe urged people to use their senses to makeobservations just as scientists today makeobservations Aristotle was the first personto group observations according to their sim-ilarities and differences Then he made gen-eralizations based on the groups of facts

Like Plato Aristotle wrote about gov-ernment He studied and compared thegovernments of 158 different places to findthe best form of government In his bookPolitics Aristotle divided the governmentsinto three types

bull Government by one person such as amonarch (king or queen) or a tyrant

bull Government by a few people whichmight be an aristocracy or an oligarchy

bull Government by many people as in ademocracy

Aristotle noticed that governments runby a few people were usually run by therich He noticed that most democracieswere run by the poor He thought the bestgovernment was a mixture of the two

Aristotlersquos ideas shaped the wayEuropeans and Americans thought aboutgovernment The founders of the UnitedStates Constitution tried to create a mixedgovernment that balanced the differenttypes Aristotle had identified

PLATO AND ARISTOTLEPlato c 428ndash347 BCAristotle 384ndash322 BC

Plato was from a noble Greek family and had planned a career in

politics However he was so horrified by the death of his teacher

Socrates that he left politics and spent many years traveling and

writing When Plato returned to Athens in 387 BC he founded an

academy where he taught using Socratesrsquo method of questioning His

academy drew bright young students from Athens and other Greek

city-states Plato looked for truth beyond the appearances of

everyday objects and reflected this philosophy in his writing and

teaching He believed the human soul was the connection between

the appearance of things and ideas

Plato and Aristotlemdashtwo of the greatest ancient Greek

philosophersmdashmet as teacher and student at Platorsquos Academy in

Athens Aristotle left his home in Stagira and arrived on the Academyrsquos

doorstep when he was eighteen years old He remained at Platorsquos Academy for

20 years until the death of his teacher Unlike Plato Aristotle did not come from

a noble family His father was the court physician to the king of Macedonia At an early

age Aristotlersquos father introduced him to the topics of medicine and biology and these

became his main interests of study Aristotle sought truth through a systematic scientific

approach He liked to jot down notes and details about different

topicsmdashfrom weather to human behaviormdashand arrange them in

categories He did not trust the sensesrsquo ability to understand the

universeAfter Platorsquos death Aristotle traveled for about 12 years

He also tutored the future Alexander the Great Later in his life he

returned to Athens and opened his own school the Lyceum He

made his school the center for research in every area of

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

The key to Alexanderrsquos courage mayhave been his childhood educationAlexander kept a copy of the Iliad under hispillow Most likely his inspiration wasHomerrsquos warrior-hero Achilles In the endAlexanderrsquos reputation outstripped evenAchillesrsquo and today he is called Alexanderthe Great

Alexander the GreatVillain or Hero

Was Alexander the Great really great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

echoed the story until it

went round the whole

the Great to be a hero They claim he

brought progress order and culture

to each new land he conquered In

support of him they say Alexander

bull tried to promote learning

bull visited all of his wounded men

after each battle

bull spared the lives of the queen and

princess of Persia

bull built new cities where others had

been destroyed

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

learning and culture

Reading Focus Imagine you are a leading citizen in a

new city How would you make it the best city possible

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

The Odyssey tells the story of Odysseusanother Greek hero It describes his journeyhome from the Trojan War Odysseus facesstorms witches and giants before return-ing to his wife Because it took Odysseus 10years to get home we use the word odysseytoday to mean a long journey with manyadventures

Greeks believed the Iliad and theOdyssey were more than stories Theylooked on the epics as real history Thesepoems gave the Greeks an ideal past witha cast of heroes Generations of Greeksread Homerrsquos works One Athenian wroteldquoMy father was anxious to see me developinto a good man [so] he compelled meto memorize all of Homerrdquo

Homerrsquos stories taught courage andhonor They also taught that it was impor-tant to be loyal to your friends and to valuethe relationship between husband andwife The stories showed heroes striving tobe the best they could be Heroes fought toprotect their own honor and their familyrsquoshonor Homerrsquos heroes became role modelsfor Greek boys

Who Was Aesop About 550 BC a Greekslave named Aesop (EE bull SAHP) made up hisnow famous fables A fable (FAY bullbuhl) is ashort tale that teaches a lesson In most ofAesoprsquos fables animals talk and act likepeople These often funny stories point outhuman flaws as well as strengths Eachfable ends with a message or moral

One of the best-known fables is ldquoTheTortoise and the Harerdquo In this fable a tor-toise and a hare decide to race More than

halfway into the race the hare is way aheadHe stops to rest and falls asleep Meanwhilethe tortoise keeps going at a slow but steadypace and finally wins the race

The moral of the story is ldquoslow andsteady wins the racerdquo Some of the phraseswe hear today came from Aesoprsquos fablesldquoSour grapesrdquo ldquoa wolf in sheeprsquos clothingrdquoand ldquoappearances often are deceivingrdquo areexamples

For about 200 years Aesoprsquos fableswere a part of Greecersquos oral tradition Thismeans they were passed from person toperson by word of mouth long before theywere ever written down Since then count-less writers have retold the stories in manydifferent languages

HOMERc 750 BC

Homerrsquos epic poemsmdashthe Iliad and the

Odysseymdashare famous but until the 1900s

historians believed that Homer never existed

Historians now know Homer was a real person

but they still debate whether he wrote his

poems alone or with the help of other poets

Many historians have speculated or made

educated guesses about Homerrsquos personal life

Some say that Homer came from Ionia and

seven cities claim to be his birthplace Some

believe that he was blind Others believe

that he wandered from town to town

Legends tell of Homerrsquos strong

influence on his readers For example as a

young child Alexander the Great is said to

have slept with a copy of the Iliad under his

pillow

Homer used the term aoidos for a poet This word

means ldquosingerrdquo which tells us that the poetry created

during Homerrsquos time was memorized and recited not

written down Usually short simple poems that were

easy to remember were told to an audience as

entertainment

Homer created a different style of poetry that

influenced all Western literature that followed His

epics are long and involve complex characters dramatic

action and interesting events Because each section

of the Iliad and the Odyssey has these characteristics

most historians today think that only one poet

could have created both epics Whoever

Homer was his two epics have

influenced readers for more than

3000 years

In a comedy (KAH bull muh bull dee) the storyends happily Today we use the word comedyto mean a story filled with humor The wordactually means any drama that has a happyending

Greek stories dealt with big questionssuch as

bull What is the nature of good and evilbull What rights should people havebull What role do gods play in our lives

The three best-known writers of Greektragedies were Aeschylus (EHS bull kuh bull luhs)Sophocles (SAH bull fuh bull KLEEZ) and Euripides(yu bull RIH bull puh bull DEEZ) The best-known writerof Greek comedies was Aristophanes (ar bulluh bullSTAH bull fuh bull NEEZ)

Early Greek tragedies had only one actorwho gave speeches and a chorus that sangsongs describing the events Aeschylus wasthe first to introduce the idea of having twoactors This let the writer tell a story involvingconflict between the two people Aeschylusalso introduced costumes props and stagedecorationsmdashall ideas we still use today

One of Aeschylusrsquos best-known plays is a group of three plays called the Oresteia(ohr bull eh bull STY bull uh) Aeschylus wrote theplays in 458 BC They describe what hap-pens when the king of Mycenae returnshome from the Trojan War The Oresteiateaches that evil acts cause more evil actsand suffering In the end however reasontriumphs over evil The moral of theseplays is that people should not seekrevenge

Sophocles a general and a writer of playsdeveloped drama even further He usedthree actors in his stories instead of one ortwo He also placed painted scenes behindthe stage as a backdrop to the action Two ofSophoclesrsquo most famous plays are OedipusRex (EH bull duh bull puhs REHKS) and Antigone (an bull TIH bull guh bull nee) In Antigone Sophocles

asks the question ldquoIs it better to followorders or to do what is rightrdquo

Euripides a later playwright tried totake Greek drama beyond heroes and godsHis characters were more down-to-earthEuripidesrsquo plots show a great interest inreal-life situations He questioned tradi-tional thinking especially about war Heshowed war as cruel and women and chil-dren as its victims

The works of Aristophanes are goodexamples of comedies They make fun ofleading politicians and scholars Theyencourage the audience to think as well asto laugh Many of Aristophanesrsquo playsincluded jokes just like popular televisioncomedies do today

Among all those mortals who grew so wise that they learned thesecrets of the gods none was more cunning than Daedalus1

He once built for King Minos of Crete a wonderful Labyrinth ofwinding ways so cunningly tangled up and twisted around thatonce inside you could never find your way out again without amagic clue But the kingrsquos favor veered with the wind and one dayhe had his master architect imprisoned in a tower Daedalusmanaged to escape from his cell but it seemed impossible to leavethe island since every ship that came or went was well guarded byorder of the king

At length watching the sea-gulls in the airmdashthe only creaturesthat were sure of libertymdashhe thought of a plan for himself and hisyoung son Icarus2 who was captive with him

Little by little he gathered a store of feathers great and smallHe fastened these together with thread moulded them in with waxand so fashioned two great wings like those of a bird When theywere done Daedalus fitted them to his own shoulders and afterone or two efforts he found that by waving his arms he couldwinnow the air and cleave3 it as a swimmer does the seaHe held himself aloft wavered this way and that with the wind and at last like a great fledgling4 he learned to fly

For Icarus these cautions went in at one ear and out by theother Who could remember to be careful when he was to fly for thefirst time Are birds careful Not they And not an idea remained inthe boyrsquos head but the one joy of escape

The day came and the fair wind that was to set them free Thefather bird put on his wings and while the light urged them to begone he waited to see that all was well with Icarus for the twocould not fly hand in hand Up they rose the boy after his fatherThe hateful ground of Crete sank beneath them and the countryfolk who caught a glimpse of them when they were high abovethe tree-tops took it for a vision of the godsmdashApollo5

He fell like a leaf tossed down the wind downdown with one cry that overtook Daedalus far away When he returned and sought high and low for the poor boy he saw nothing but the bird-like feathers afloat on the water and he knew that Icarus was drowned

He was a critic of the Sophists Socrates believed that there was an absolute right and wrong

Sophists did not believe that gods andgoddesses influenced people They alsorejected the idea of absolute right or wrongThey believed that what was right for oneperson might be wrong for another

The Ideas of Socrates One critic of theSophists was Socrates (SAH bull kruh bull TEEZ)Socrates was an Athenian sculptor whosetrue love was philosophy Socrates left nowritings behind What we know abouthim we have learned from the writings ofhis students

Socrates believed that an absolute truthexisted and that all real knowledge waswithin each person He invented the Socratic method (suh bullKRA bull tihk) of teachingstill used today He asked pointed questionsto force his pupils to use their reason and tosee things for themselves

Some Athenian leaders considered theSocratic method a threat to their power At one time Athens had a tradition of ques-tioning leaders and speaking freelyHowever their defeat in the PeloponnesianWar changed the Athenians They no longertrusted open debate In 399 BC the leadersaccused Socrates of teaching youngAthenians to rebel against the state A juryfound Socrates guilty and sentenced him todeath Socrates could have fled the city but

he chose to remain He argued that he hadlived under the cityrsquos laws so he had toobey them He then drank poison to carryout the juryrsquos sentence

The Ideas of Plato One of Socratesrsquo stu-dents was Plato (PLAY bull toh) Unlike Socrateswe are able to learn a lot about Plato fromhis writings One work Plato wrote is calledthe Republic It explains his ideas about gov-ernment Based on life in Athens Platodecided that democracy was not a goodsystem of government He did not thinkthat rule by the people produced fair or sen-sible policies To him people could not livegood lives unless they had a just and rea-sonable government

In the Republic Plato described his idealgovernment He divided people into threebasic groups At the top were philosopher-kings who ruled using logic and wisdomWarriors made up the second group Theydefended the state from attack

The third group included the rest of thepeople They were driven by desire not bywisdom like the first group or courage likethe second These people produced thestatersquos food clothing and shelter Plato alsobelieved that men and women should havethe same education and an equal chance tohave the same jobs

Who Was Aristotle Plato established aschool in Athens known as the Academy Hisbest student was Aristotle (AR bulluh bull STAH bull tuhl)Aristotle wrote more than 200 books ontopics ranging from government to theplanets and stars

In 335 BC Aristotle opened his ownschool called the Lyceum At the LyceumAristotle taught his pupils the ldquogoldenmeanrdquo This idea holds that a person shoulddo nothing in excess For example a person

should not eat too little or too much but justenough to stay well

Aristotle also helped to advance scienceHe urged people to use their senses to makeobservations just as scientists today makeobservations Aristotle was the first personto group observations according to their sim-ilarities and differences Then he made gen-eralizations based on the groups of facts

Like Plato Aristotle wrote about gov-ernment He studied and compared thegovernments of 158 different places to findthe best form of government In his bookPolitics Aristotle divided the governmentsinto three types

bull Government by one person such as amonarch (king or queen) or a tyrant

bull Government by a few people whichmight be an aristocracy or an oligarchy

bull Government by many people as in ademocracy

Aristotle noticed that governments runby a few people were usually run by therich He noticed that most democracieswere run by the poor He thought the bestgovernment was a mixture of the two

Aristotlersquos ideas shaped the wayEuropeans and Americans thought aboutgovernment The founders of the UnitedStates Constitution tried to create a mixedgovernment that balanced the differenttypes Aristotle had identified

PLATO AND ARISTOTLEPlato c 428ndash347 BCAristotle 384ndash322 BC

Plato was from a noble Greek family and had planned a career in

politics However he was so horrified by the death of his teacher

Socrates that he left politics and spent many years traveling and

writing When Plato returned to Athens in 387 BC he founded an

academy where he taught using Socratesrsquo method of questioning His

academy drew bright young students from Athens and other Greek

city-states Plato looked for truth beyond the appearances of

everyday objects and reflected this philosophy in his writing and

teaching He believed the human soul was the connection between

the appearance of things and ideas

Plato and Aristotlemdashtwo of the greatest ancient Greek

philosophersmdashmet as teacher and student at Platorsquos Academy in

Athens Aristotle left his home in Stagira and arrived on the Academyrsquos

doorstep when he was eighteen years old He remained at Platorsquos Academy for

20 years until the death of his teacher Unlike Plato Aristotle did not come from

a noble family His father was the court physician to the king of Macedonia At an early

age Aristotlersquos father introduced him to the topics of medicine and biology and these

became his main interests of study Aristotle sought truth through a systematic scientific

approach He liked to jot down notes and details about different

topicsmdashfrom weather to human behaviormdashand arrange them in

categories He did not trust the sensesrsquo ability to understand the

universeAfter Platorsquos death Aristotle traveled for about 12 years

He also tutored the future Alexander the Great Later in his life he

returned to Athens and opened his own school the Lyceum He

made his school the center for research in every area of

Many historians consider Thucydides(thoo bullSIH bullduh bull DEEZ) the greatest historian ofthe ancient world Thucydides fought in thePeloponnesian War After he lost a battle hewas sent into exile There he wrote hisHistory of the Peloponnesian War

Unlike Herodotus Thucydides saw warand politics as the activities of humanbeings not gods He also stressed theimportance of having accurate facts

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

The key to Alexanderrsquos courage mayhave been his childhood educationAlexander kept a copy of the Iliad under hispillow Most likely his inspiration wasHomerrsquos warrior-hero Achilles In the endAlexanderrsquos reputation outstripped evenAchillesrsquo and today he is called Alexanderthe Great

Alexander the GreatVillain or Hero

Was Alexander the Great really great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

bull built new cities where others had

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

The Odyssey tells the story of Odysseusanother Greek hero It describes his journeyhome from the Trojan War Odysseus facesstorms witches and giants before return-ing to his wife Because it took Odysseus 10years to get home we use the word odysseytoday to mean a long journey with manyadventures

Greeks believed the Iliad and theOdyssey were more than stories Theylooked on the epics as real history Thesepoems gave the Greeks an ideal past witha cast of heroes Generations of Greeksread Homerrsquos works One Athenian wroteldquoMy father was anxious to see me developinto a good man [so] he compelled meto memorize all of Homerrdquo

Who Was Aesop About 550 BC a Greekslave named Aesop (EE bull SAHP) made up hisnow famous fables A fable (FAY bullbuhl) is ashort tale that teaches a lesson In most ofAesoprsquos fables animals talk and act likepeople These often funny stories point outhuman flaws as well as strengths Eachfable ends with a message or moral

One of the best-known fables is ldquoTheTortoise and the Harerdquo In this fable a tor-toise and a hare decide to race More than

halfway into the race the hare is way aheadHe stops to rest and falls asleep Meanwhilethe tortoise keeps going at a slow but steadypace and finally wins the race

The moral of the story is ldquoslow andsteady wins the racerdquo Some of the phraseswe hear today came from Aesoprsquos fablesldquoSour grapesrdquo ldquoa wolf in sheeprsquos clothingrdquoand ldquoappearances often are deceivingrdquo areexamples

For about 200 years Aesoprsquos fableswere a part of Greecersquos oral tradition Thismeans they were passed from person toperson by word of mouth long before theywere ever written down Since then count-less writers have retold the stories in manydifferent languages

HOMERc 750 BC

Homerrsquos epic poemsmdashthe Iliad and the

Odysseymdashare famous but until the 1900s

historians believed that Homer never existed

Historians now know Homer was a real person

but they still debate whether he wrote his

poems alone or with the help of other poets

Many historians have speculated or made

educated guesses about Homerrsquos personal life

Some say that Homer came from Ionia and

seven cities claim to be his birthplace Some

believe that he was blind Others believe

that he wandered from town to town

Legends tell of Homerrsquos strong

influence on his readers For example as a

young child Alexander the Great is said to

have slept with a copy of the Iliad under his

pillow

Homer used the term aoidos for a poet This word

means ldquosingerrdquo which tells us that the poetry created

during Homerrsquos time was memorized and recited not

written down Usually short simple poems that were

easy to remember were told to an audience as

entertainment

Homer created a different style of poetry that

influenced all Western literature that followed His

epics are long and involve complex characters dramatic

action and interesting events Because each section

of the Iliad and the Odyssey has these characteristics

most historians today think that only one poet

could have created both epics Whoever

Homer was his two epics have

influenced readers for more than

3000 years

What is drama (DRAH bullmuh) Drama is astory told by actors who pretend to becharacters in the story In a drama actorsspeak show emotion and imitate theactions of the characters they represent

Todayrsquos movies plays and televisionshows are all examples of drama

Tragedies and Comedies The Greeks per-formed plays in outdoor theaters as part oftheir religious festivals They developed twokinds of dramasmdashcomedies and tragedies

In a comedy (KAH bull muh bull dee) the storyends happily Today we use the word comedyto mean a story filled with humor The wordactually means any drama that has a happyending

Greek stories dealt with big questionssuch as

bull What is the nature of good and evilbull What rights should people havebull What role do gods play in our lives

The three best-known writers of Greektragedies were Aeschylus (EHS bull kuh bull luhs)Sophocles (SAH bull fuh bull KLEEZ) and Euripides(yu bull RIH bull puh bull DEEZ) The best-known writerof Greek comedies was Aristophanes (ar bulluh bullSTAH bull fuh bull NEEZ)

Early Greek tragedies had only one actorwho gave speeches and a chorus that sangsongs describing the events Aeschylus wasthe first to introduce the idea of having twoactors This let the writer tell a story involvingconflict between the two people Aeschylusalso introduced costumes props and stagedecorationsmdashall ideas we still use today

One of Aeschylusrsquos best-known plays is a group of three plays called the Oresteia(ohr bull eh bull STY bull uh) Aeschylus wrote theplays in 458 BC They describe what hap-pens when the king of Mycenae returnshome from the Trojan War The Oresteiateaches that evil acts cause more evil actsand suffering In the end however reasontriumphs over evil The moral of theseplays is that people should not seekrevenge

Sophocles a general and a writer of playsdeveloped drama even further He usedthree actors in his stories instead of one ortwo He also placed painted scenes behindthe stage as a backdrop to the action Two ofSophoclesrsquo most famous plays are OedipusRex (EH bull duh bull puhs REHKS) and Antigone (an bull TIH bull guh bull nee) In Antigone Sophocles

asks the question ldquoIs it better to followorders or to do what is rightrdquo

Euripides a later playwright tried totake Greek drama beyond heroes and godsHis characters were more down-to-earthEuripidesrsquo plots show a great interest inreal-life situations He questioned tradi-tional thinking especially about war Heshowed war as cruel and women and chil-dren as its victims

The works of Aristophanes are goodexamples of comedies They make fun ofleading politicians and scholars Theyencourage the audience to think as well asto laugh Many of Aristophanesrsquo playsincluded jokes just like popular televisioncomedies do today

Among all those mortals who grew so wise that they learned thesecrets of the gods none was more cunning than Daedalus1

He once built for King Minos of Crete a wonderful Labyrinth ofwinding ways so cunningly tangled up and twisted around thatonce inside you could never find your way out again without amagic clue But the kingrsquos favor veered with the wind and one dayhe had his master architect imprisoned in a tower Daedalusmanaged to escape from his cell but it seemed impossible to leavethe island since every ship that came or went was well guarded byorder of the king

At length watching the sea-gulls in the airmdashthe only creaturesthat were sure of libertymdashhe thought of a plan for himself and hisyoung son Icarus2 who was captive with him

Little by little he gathered a store of feathers great and smallHe fastened these together with thread moulded them in with waxand so fashioned two great wings like those of a bird When theywere done Daedalus fitted them to his own shoulders and afterone or two efforts he found that by waving his arms he couldwinnow the air and cleave3 it as a swimmer does the seaHe held himself aloft wavered this way and that with the wind and at last like a great fledgling4 he learned to fly

Without delay he fell to work on a pair of wings for the boyIcarus and taught him carefully how to use them bidding himbeware of rash adventures among the stars ldquoRememberrdquo said thefather ldquonever fly very low or very high for the fogs about the earthwould weigh you down but the blaze of the sun will surely meltyour feathers apart if you go too nearrdquo

For Icarus these cautions went in at one ear and out by theother Who could remember to be careful when he was to fly for thefirst time Are birds careful Not they And not an idea remained inthe boyrsquos head but the one joy of escape

The day came and the fair wind that was to set them free Thefather bird put on his wings and while the light urged them to begone he waited to see that all was well with Icarus for the twocould not fly hand in hand Up they rose the boy after his fatherThe hateful ground of Crete sank beneath them and the countryfolk who caught a glimpse of them when they were high abovethe tree-tops took it for a vision of the godsmdashApollo5

He longed for one draught9 of flight to quench the thirst ofhis captivity he stretched out his arms to the sky and madetoward the highest heavens

Alas for him Warmer and warmer grew the air Thosearms that had seemed to uphold him relaxed His wingswavered drooped He fluttered his young hands vainlymdashhe was fallingmdashand in that terror he remembered The heat of the sun had melted the wax from his wings the feathers were fallingone by one like snowflakes and there was none to help

He fell like a leaf tossed down the wind downdown with one cry that overtook Daedalus far away When he returned and sought high and low for the poor boy he saw nothing but the bird-like feathers afloat on the water and he knew that Icarus was drowned

The Ideas of Socrates One critic of theSophists was Socrates (SAH bull kruh bull TEEZ)Socrates was an Athenian sculptor whosetrue love was philosophy Socrates left nowritings behind What we know abouthim we have learned from the writings ofhis students

Socrates believed that an absolute truthexisted and that all real knowledge waswithin each person He invented the Socratic method (suh bullKRA bull tihk) of teachingstill used today He asked pointed questionsto force his pupils to use their reason and tosee things for themselves

Some Athenian leaders considered theSocratic method a threat to their power At one time Athens had a tradition of ques-tioning leaders and speaking freelyHowever their defeat in the PeloponnesianWar changed the Athenians They no longertrusted open debate In 399 BC the leadersaccused Socrates of teaching youngAthenians to rebel against the state A juryfound Socrates guilty and sentenced him todeath Socrates could have fled the city but

The Ideas of Plato One of Socratesrsquo stu-dents was Plato (PLAY bull toh) Unlike Socrateswe are able to learn a lot about Plato fromhis writings One work Plato wrote is calledthe Republic It explains his ideas about gov-ernment Based on life in Athens Platodecided that democracy was not a goodsystem of government He did not thinkthat rule by the people produced fair or sen-sible policies To him people could not livegood lives unless they had a just and rea-sonable government

In the Republic Plato described his idealgovernment He divided people into threebasic groups At the top were philosopher-kings who ruled using logic and wisdomWarriors made up the second group Theydefended the state from attack

The third group included the rest of thepeople They were driven by desire not bywisdom like the first group or courage likethe second These people produced thestatersquos food clothing and shelter Plato alsobelieved that men and women should havethe same education and an equal chance tohave the same jobs

Who Was Aristotle Plato established aschool in Athens known as the Academy Hisbest student was Aristotle (AR bulluh bull STAH bull tuhl)Aristotle wrote more than 200 books ontopics ranging from government to theplanets and stars

In 335 BC Aristotle opened his ownschool called the Lyceum At the LyceumAristotle taught his pupils the ldquogoldenmeanrdquo This idea holds that a person shoulddo nothing in excess For example a person

should not eat too little or too much but justenough to stay well

Aristotle also helped to advance scienceHe urged people to use their senses to makeobservations just as scientists today makeobservations Aristotle was the first personto group observations according to their sim-ilarities and differences Then he made gen-eralizations based on the groups of facts

Like Plato Aristotle wrote about gov-ernment He studied and compared thegovernments of 158 different places to findthe best form of government In his bookPolitics Aristotle divided the governmentsinto three types

bull Government by one person such as amonarch (king or queen) or a tyrant

bull Government by a few people whichmight be an aristocracy or an oligarchy

bull Government by many people as in ademocracy

Aristotle noticed that governments runby a few people were usually run by therich He noticed that most democracieswere run by the poor He thought the bestgovernment was a mixture of the two

Aristotlersquos ideas shaped the wayEuropeans and Americans thought aboutgovernment The founders of the UnitedStates Constitution tried to create a mixedgovernment that balanced the differenttypes Aristotle had identified

Contrast How didAristotlersquos idea of government differ from Platorsquos

What present-day careers or subjects of study

require lifelong learning

PLATO AND ARISTOTLEPlato c 428ndash347 BCAristotle 384ndash322 BC

Plato was from a noble Greek family and had planned a career in

politics However he was so horrified by the death of his teacher

Socrates that he left politics and spent many years traveling and

writing When Plato returned to Athens in 387 BC he founded an

academy where he taught using Socratesrsquo method of questioning His

academy drew bright young students from Athens and other Greek

city-states Plato looked for truth beyond the appearances of

everyday objects and reflected this philosophy in his writing and

teaching He believed the human soul was the connection between

the appearance of things and ideas

Plato and Aristotlemdashtwo of the greatest ancient Greek

philosophersmdashmet as teacher and student at Platorsquos Academy in

Athens Aristotle left his home in Stagira and arrived on the Academyrsquos

doorstep when he was eighteen years old He remained at Platorsquos Academy for

20 years until the death of his teacher Unlike Plato Aristotle did not come from

a noble family His father was the court physician to the king of Macedonia At an early

age Aristotlersquos father introduced him to the topics of medicine and biology and these

became his main interests of study Aristotle sought truth through a systematic scientific

approach He liked to jot down notes and details about different

topicsmdashfrom weather to human behaviormdashand arrange them in

categories He did not trust the sensesrsquo ability to understand the

universeAfter Platorsquos death Aristotle traveled for about 12 years

He also tutored the future Alexander the Great Later in his life he

returned to Athens and opened his own school the Lyceum He

made his school the center for research in every area of

knowledge known to the Greeks

find out what Greek historians thought was important

In most places in the ancient world peo-ple did not write history Legends andmyths explained their past Some civiliza-tions kept long lists of rulers and the datesthey were in power but no one tried toexplain the past by studying events Thenin 435 BC a Greek named Herodotus (hih bullRAH bull duh bull tuhs) wrote the history of thePersian Wars

In his book Herodotus tried to separatefact from legend He asked questionsrecorded answers and checked the truthful-ness of his sources Although his historyincludes some errors and uses gods and god-desses to explain some events Western histo-rians consider him the ldquofather of historyrdquo

Many historians consider Thucydides(thoo bullSIH bullduh bull DEEZ) the greatest historian ofthe ancient world Thucydides fought in thePeloponnesian War After he lost a battle hewas sent into exile There he wrote hisHistory of the Peloponnesian War

Unlike Herodotus Thucydides saw warand politics as the activities of humanbeings not gods He also stressed theimportance of having accurate facts

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

The key to Alexanderrsquos courage mayhave been his childhood educationAlexander kept a copy of the Iliad under hispillow Most likely his inspiration wasHomerrsquos warrior-hero Achilles In the endAlexanderrsquos reputation outstripped evenAchillesrsquo and today he is called Alexanderthe Great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

Contrast What were thedifferences between Epicureanism and Stoicism

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

Euclid (YOO bullkluhd) is probably the mostfamous Greek mathematician His best-known book Elements describes plane geometry Plane geometry (jee bull AH bull muh bulltree) is the branch of mathematics that shows

HOMERc 750 BC

Homerrsquos epic poemsmdashthe Iliad and the

Odysseymdashare famous but until the 1900s

historians believed that Homer never existed

Historians now know Homer was a real person

but they still debate whether he wrote his

poems alone or with the help of other poets

Many historians have speculated or made

educated guesses about Homerrsquos personal life

Some say that Homer came from Ionia and

seven cities claim to be his birthplace Some

believe that he was blind Others believe

that he wandered from town to town

Legends tell of Homerrsquos strong

influence on his readers For example as a

young child Alexander the Great is said to

have slept with a copy of the Iliad under his

pillow

Homer used the term aoidos for a poet This word

means ldquosingerrdquo which tells us that the poetry created

during Homerrsquos time was memorized and recited not

written down Usually short simple poems that were

easy to remember were told to an audience as

entertainment

Homer created a different style of poetry that

influenced all Western literature that followed His

epics are long and involve complex characters dramatic

action and interesting events Because each section

of the Iliad and the Odyssey has these characteristics

most historians today think that only one poet

could have created both epics Whoever

Homer was his two epics have

influenced readers for more than

3000 years

Todayrsquos movies plays and televisionshows are all examples of drama

In a comedy (KAH bull muh bull dee) the storyends happily Today we use the word comedyto mean a story filled with humor The wordactually means any drama that has a happyending

Greek stories dealt with big questionssuch as

bull What is the nature of good and evilbull What rights should people havebull What role do gods play in our lives

The three best-known writers of Greektragedies were Aeschylus (EHS bull kuh bull luhs)Sophocles (SAH bull fuh bull KLEEZ) and Euripides(yu bull RIH bull puh bull DEEZ) The best-known writerof Greek comedies was Aristophanes (ar bulluh bullSTAH bull fuh bull NEEZ)

Early Greek tragedies had only one actorwho gave speeches and a chorus that sangsongs describing the events Aeschylus wasthe first to introduce the idea of having twoactors This let the writer tell a story involvingconflict between the two people Aeschylusalso introduced costumes props and stagedecorationsmdashall ideas we still use today

One of Aeschylusrsquos best-known plays is a group of three plays called the Oresteia(ohr bull eh bull STY bull uh) Aeschylus wrote theplays in 458 BC They describe what hap-pens when the king of Mycenae returnshome from the Trojan War The Oresteiateaches that evil acts cause more evil actsand suffering In the end however reasontriumphs over evil The moral of theseplays is that people should not seekrevenge

Sophocles a general and a writer of playsdeveloped drama even further He usedthree actors in his stories instead of one ortwo He also placed painted scenes behindthe stage as a backdrop to the action Two ofSophoclesrsquo most famous plays are OedipusRex (EH bull duh bull puhs REHKS) and Antigone (an bull TIH bull guh bull nee) In Antigone Sophocles

asks the question ldquoIs it better to followorders or to do what is rightrdquo

Euripides a later playwright tried totake Greek drama beyond heroes and godsHis characters were more down-to-earthEuripidesrsquo plots show a great interest inreal-life situations He questioned tradi-tional thinking especially about war Heshowed war as cruel and women and chil-dren as its victims

The works of Aristophanes are goodexamples of comedies They make fun ofleading politicians and scholars Theyencourage the audience to think as well asto laugh Many of Aristophanesrsquo playsincluded jokes just like popular televisioncomedies do today

Among all those mortals who grew so wise that they learned thesecrets of the gods none was more cunning than Daedalus1

He once built for King Minos of Crete a wonderful Labyrinth ofwinding ways so cunningly tangled up and twisted around thatonce inside you could never find your way out again without amagic clue But the kingrsquos favor veered with the wind and one dayhe had his master architect imprisoned in a tower Daedalusmanaged to escape from his cell but it seemed impossible to leavethe island since every ship that came or went was well guarded byorder of the king

At length watching the sea-gulls in the airmdashthe only creaturesthat were sure of libertymdashhe thought of a plan for himself and hisyoung son Icarus2 who was captive with him

Little by little he gathered a store of feathers great and smallHe fastened these together with thread moulded them in with waxand so fashioned two great wings like those of a bird When theywere done Daedalus fitted them to his own shoulders and afterone or two efforts he found that by waving his arms he couldwinnow the air and cleave3 it as a swimmer does the seaHe held himself aloft wavered this way and that with the wind and at last like a great fledgling4 he learned to fly

Without delay he fell to work on a pair of wings for the boyIcarus and taught him carefully how to use them bidding himbeware of rash adventures among the stars ldquoRememberrdquo said thefather ldquonever fly very low or very high for the fogs about the earthwould weigh you down but the blaze of the sun will surely meltyour feathers apart if you go too nearrdquo

For Icarus these cautions went in at one ear and out by theother Who could remember to be careful when he was to fly for thefirst time Are birds careful Not they And not an idea remained inthe boyrsquos head but the one joy of escape

The day came and the fair wind that was to set them free Thefather bird put on his wings and while the light urged them to begone he waited to see that all was well with Icarus for the twocould not fly hand in hand Up they rose the boy after his fatherThe hateful ground of Crete sank beneath them and the countryfolk who caught a glimpse of them when they were high abovethe tree-tops took it for a vision of the godsmdashApollo5

Responding to the Reading

He longed for one draught9 of flight to quench the thirst ofhis captivity he stretched out his arms to the sky and madetoward the highest heavens

Alas for him Warmer and warmer grew the air Thosearms that had seemed to uphold him relaxed His wingswavered drooped He fluttered his young hands vainlymdashhe was fallingmdashand in that terror he remembered The heat of the sun had melted the wax from his wings the feathers were fallingone by one like snowflakes and there was none to help

He fell like a leaf tossed down the wind downdown with one cry that overtook Daedalus far away When he returned and sought high and low for the poor boy he saw nothing but the bird-like feathers afloat on the water and he knew that Icarus was drowned

The nearest island he named Icariain memory of the child but he in heavy griefwent to the temple of Apollo in Sicily and there hung up his wings as an offering Never again did he attempt to fly

Sophists like Libanius(above) thought that people should use knowledge to improvethemselves They believed that there is no absolute right or wrong

He rejected the ideaof democracy as a form of governmentPlato believed that philosopher-kings should rule society

Aristotle taught the idea of the ldquogolden meanrdquo He believed observation and comparison werenecessary to gainknowledge

The importance of public speaking can be seen in political debates between candidates

His methods influenced the way teachers interact with their students

He introduced the idea that govern-ment should be fair and just

His political ideas still shape political ideas today

They developed the art of public speak-ing and debate

He created the Socratic method of teaching

He described his vision of the ideal government in his work the Republic

He wrote over 200 books on philoso-phy and science He divided all govern-ments into threebasic types

He was a critic of the Sophists Socrates believed that there was an absolute right and wrong

city and made a living by teaching othersThey believed students should use theirtime to improve themselves Many taughttheir students how to win an argument andmake good political speeches

Sophists did not believe that gods andgoddesses influenced people They alsorejected the idea of absolute right or wrongThey believed that what was right for oneperson might be wrong for another

The Ideas of Socrates One critic of theSophists was Socrates (SAH bull kruh bull TEEZ)Socrates was an Athenian sculptor whosetrue love was philosophy Socrates left nowritings behind What we know abouthim we have learned from the writings ofhis students

Socrates believed that an absolute truthexisted and that all real knowledge waswithin each person He invented the Socratic method (suh bullKRA bull tihk) of teachingstill used today He asked pointed questionsto force his pupils to use their reason and tosee things for themselves

Some Athenian leaders considered theSocratic method a threat to their power At one time Athens had a tradition of ques-tioning leaders and speaking freelyHowever their defeat in the PeloponnesianWar changed the Athenians They no longertrusted open debate In 399 BC the leadersaccused Socrates of teaching youngAthenians to rebel against the state A juryfound Socrates guilty and sentenced him todeath Socrates could have fled the city but

he chose to remain He argued that he hadlived under the cityrsquos laws so he had toobey them He then drank poison to carryout the juryrsquos sentence

The Ideas of Plato One of Socratesrsquo stu-dents was Plato (PLAY bull toh) Unlike Socrateswe are able to learn a lot about Plato fromhis writings One work Plato wrote is calledthe Republic It explains his ideas about gov-ernment Based on life in Athens Platodecided that democracy was not a goodsystem of government He did not thinkthat rule by the people produced fair or sen-sible policies To him people could not livegood lives unless they had a just and rea-sonable government

In the Republic Plato described his idealgovernment He divided people into threebasic groups At the top were philosopher-kings who ruled using logic and wisdomWarriors made up the second group Theydefended the state from attack

The third group included the rest of thepeople They were driven by desire not bywisdom like the first group or courage likethe second These people produced thestatersquos food clothing and shelter Plato alsobelieved that men and women should havethe same education and an equal chance tohave the same jobs

Who Was Aristotle Plato established aschool in Athens known as the Academy Hisbest student was Aristotle (AR bulluh bull STAH bull tuhl)Aristotle wrote more than 200 books ontopics ranging from government to theplanets and stars

In 335 BC Aristotle opened his ownschool called the Lyceum At the LyceumAristotle taught his pupils the ldquogoldenmeanrdquo This idea holds that a person shoulddo nothing in excess For example a person

should not eat too little or too much but justenough to stay well

Aristotle also helped to advance scienceHe urged people to use their senses to makeobservations just as scientists today makeobservations Aristotle was the first personto group observations according to their sim-ilarities and differences Then he made gen-eralizations based on the groups of facts

Like Plato Aristotle wrote about gov-ernment He studied and compared thegovernments of 158 different places to findthe best form of government In his bookPolitics Aristotle divided the governmentsinto three types

bull Government by one person such as amonarch (king or queen) or a tyrant

bull Government by a few people whichmight be an aristocracy or an oligarchy

bull Government by many people as in ademocracy

Aristotle noticed that governments runby a few people were usually run by therich He noticed that most democracieswere run by the poor He thought the bestgovernment was a mixture of the two

Aristotlersquos ideas shaped the wayEuropeans and Americans thought aboutgovernment The founders of the UnitedStates Constitution tried to create a mixedgovernment that balanced the differenttypes Aristotle had identified

Contrast How didAristotlersquos idea of government differ from Platorsquos

What present-day careers or subjects of study

require lifelong learning

PLATO AND ARISTOTLEPlato c 428ndash347 BCAristotle 384ndash322 BC

Plato was from a noble Greek family and had planned a career in

politics However he was so horrified by the death of his teacher

Socrates that he left politics and spent many years traveling and

writing When Plato returned to Athens in 387 BC he founded an

academy where he taught using Socratesrsquo method of questioning His

academy drew bright young students from Athens and other Greek

city-states Plato looked for truth beyond the appearances of

everyday objects and reflected this philosophy in his writing and

teaching He believed the human soul was the connection between

the appearance of things and ideas

Plato and Aristotlemdashtwo of the greatest ancient Greek

philosophersmdashmet as teacher and student at Platorsquos Academy in

Athens Aristotle left his home in Stagira and arrived on the Academyrsquos

doorstep when he was eighteen years old He remained at Platorsquos Academy for

20 years until the death of his teacher Unlike Plato Aristotle did not come from

a noble family His father was the court physician to the king of Macedonia At an early

age Aristotlersquos father introduced him to the topics of medicine and biology and these

became his main interests of study Aristotle sought truth through a systematic scientific

approach He liked to jot down notes and details about different

topicsmdashfrom weather to human behaviormdashand arrange them in

categories He did not trust the sensesrsquo ability to understand the

universeAfter Platorsquos death Aristotle traveled for about 12 years

He also tutored the future Alexander the Great Later in his life he

returned to Athens and opened his own school the Lyceum He

made his school the center for research in every area of

knowledge known to the Greeks

Reading Focus Why is history important Read on to

find out what Greek historians thought was important

In most places in the ancient world peo-ple did not write history Legends andmyths explained their past Some civiliza-tions kept long lists of rulers and the datesthey were in power but no one tried toexplain the past by studying events Thenin 435 BC a Greek named Herodotus (hih bullRAH bull duh bull tuhs) wrote the history of thePersian Wars

In his book Herodotus tried to separatefact from legend He asked questionsrecorded answers and checked the truthful-ness of his sources Although his historyincludes some errors and uses gods and god-desses to explain some events Western histo-rians consider him the ldquofather of historyrdquo

Many historians consider Thucydides(thoo bullSIH bullduh bull DEEZ) the greatest historian ofthe ancient world Thucydides fought in thePeloponnesian War After he lost a battle hewas sent into exile There he wrote hisHistory of the Peloponnesian War

Unlike Herodotus Thucydides saw warand politics as the activities of humanbeings not gods He also stressed theimportance of having accurate facts

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

The key to Alexanderrsquos courage mayhave been his childhood educationAlexander kept a copy of the Iliad under hispillow Most likely his inspiration wasHomerrsquos warrior-hero Achilles In the endAlexanderrsquos reputation outstripped evenAchillesrsquo and today he is called Alexanderthe Great

Alexander the GreatVillain or Hero

Was Alexander the Great really great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

bull visited all of his wounded men

bull spared the lives of the queen and

bull built new cities where others had

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

Contrast What were thedifferences between Epicureanism and Stoicism

scientists from the Hellenistic Era

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

What is drama (DRAH bullmuh) Drama is astory told by actors who pretend to becharacters in the story In a drama actorsspeak show emotion and imitate theactions of the characters they represent

Todayrsquos movies plays and televisionshows are all examples of drama

Tragedies and Comedies The Greeks per-formed plays in outdoor theaters as part oftheir religious festivals They developed twokinds of dramasmdashcomedies and tragedies

In a tragedy (TRA bull juh bull dee) a personstruggles to overcome difficulties but failsAs a result the story has an unhappy end-ing Early Greek tragedies presented peoplein a struggle against their fate Later Greektragedies showed how a personrsquos characterflaws caused him or her to fail

Tragedies and comedies were staged at atheater on the slopes of the Acropolis in AthensThe plays included music and dance Greekactors wore costumes and held large masksThe masks told the audience who theactor was supposed to bemdasha king asoldier or a god All the actors weremen even those playing female parts

In a comedy (KAH bull muh bull dee) the storyends happily Today we use the word comedyto mean a story filled with humor The wordactually means any drama that has a happyending

Greek stories dealt with big questionssuch as

bull What is the nature of good and evilbull What rights should people havebull What role do gods play in our lives

The three best-known writers of Greektragedies were Aeschylus (EHS bull kuh bull luhs)Sophocles (SAH bull fuh bull KLEEZ) and Euripides(yu bull RIH bull puh bull DEEZ) The best-known writerof Greek comedies was Aristophanes (ar bulluh bullSTAH bull fuh bull NEEZ)

Early Greek tragedies had only one actorwho gave speeches and a chorus that sangsongs describing the events Aeschylus wasthe first to introduce the idea of having twoactors This let the writer tell a story involvingconflict between the two people Aeschylusalso introduced costumes props and stagedecorationsmdashall ideas we still use today

One of Aeschylusrsquos best-known plays is a group of three plays called the Oresteia(ohr bull eh bull STY bull uh) Aeschylus wrote theplays in 458 BC They describe what hap-pens when the king of Mycenae returnshome from the Trojan War The Oresteiateaches that evil acts cause more evil actsand suffering In the end however reasontriumphs over evil The moral of theseplays is that people should not seekrevenge

Sophocles a general and a writer of playsdeveloped drama even further He usedthree actors in his stories instead of one ortwo He also placed painted scenes behindthe stage as a backdrop to the action Two ofSophoclesrsquo most famous plays are OedipusRex (EH bull duh bull puhs REHKS) and Antigone (an bull TIH bull guh bull nee) In Antigone Sophocles

asks the question ldquoIs it better to followorders or to do what is rightrdquo

Euripides a later playwright tried totake Greek drama beyond heroes and godsHis characters were more down-to-earthEuripidesrsquo plots show a great interest inreal-life situations He questioned tradi-tional thinking especially about war Heshowed war as cruel and women and chil-dren as its victims

The works of Aristophanes are goodexamples of comedies They make fun ofleading politicians and scholars Theyencourage the audience to think as well asto laugh Many of Aristophanesrsquo playsincluded jokes just like popular televisioncomedies do today

Among all those mortals who grew so wise that they learned thesecrets of the gods none was more cunning than Daedalus1

He once built for King Minos of Crete a wonderful Labyrinth ofwinding ways so cunningly tangled up and twisted around thatonce inside you could never find your way out again without amagic clue But the kingrsquos favor veered with the wind and one dayhe had his master architect imprisoned in a tower Daedalusmanaged to escape from his cell but it seemed impossible to leavethe island since every ship that came or went was well guarded byorder of the king

At length watching the sea-gulls in the airmdashthe only creaturesthat were sure of libertymdashhe thought of a plan for himself and hisyoung son Icarus2 who was captive with him

Little by little he gathered a store of feathers great and smallHe fastened these together with thread moulded them in with waxand so fashioned two great wings like those of a bird When theywere done Daedalus fitted them to his own shoulders and afterone or two efforts he found that by waving his arms he couldwinnow the air and cleave3 it as a swimmer does the seaHe held himself aloft wavered this way and that with the wind and at last like a great fledgling4 he learned to fly

As You ReadKeep in mind that a myth is a special kind of story usuallyinvolving gods or goddesses Greek myths like this one weretold and retold over many hundreds of years Try to figure outwhy the Greeks told this story What lesson does it teach

Without delay he fell to work on a pair of wings for the boyIcarus and taught him carefully how to use them bidding himbeware of rash adventures among the stars ldquoRememberrdquo said thefather ldquonever fly very low or very high for the fogs about the earthwould weigh you down but the blaze of the sun will surely meltyour feathers apart if you go too nearrdquo

For Icarus these cautions went in at one ear and out by theother Who could remember to be careful when he was to fly for thefirst time Are birds careful Not they And not an idea remained inthe boyrsquos head but the one joy of escape

The day came and the fair wind that was to set them free Thefather bird put on his wings and while the light urged them to begone he waited to see that all was well with Icarus for the twocould not fly hand in hand Up they rose the boy after his fatherThe hateful ground of Crete sank beneath them and the countryfolk who caught a glimpse of them when they were high abovethe tree-tops took it for a vision of the godsmdashApollo5

Responding to the Reading

He longed for one draught9 of flight to quench the thirst ofhis captivity he stretched out his arms to the sky and madetoward the highest heavens

Sophists like Libanius(above) thought that people should use knowledge to improvethemselves They believed that there is no absolute right or wrong

He rejected the ideaof democracy as a form of governmentPlato believed that philosopher-kings should rule society

Aristotle taught the idea of the ldquogolden meanrdquo He believed observation and comparison werenecessary to gainknowledge

The importance of public speaking can be seen in political debates between candidates

His methods influenced the way teachers interact with their students

He introduced the idea that govern-ment should be fair and just

His political ideas still shape political ideas today

They developed the art of public speak-ing and debate

He created the Socratic method of teaching

He described his vision of the ideal government in his work the Republic

He wrote over 200 books on philoso-phy and science He divided all govern-ments into threebasic types

He was a critic of the Sophists Socrates believed that there was an absolute right and wrong

city and made a living by teaching othersThey believed students should use theirtime to improve themselves Many taughttheir students how to win an argument andmake good political speeches

Sophists did not believe that gods andgoddesses influenced people They alsorejected the idea of absolute right or wrongThey believed that what was right for oneperson might be wrong for another

The Ideas of Socrates One critic of theSophists was Socrates (SAH bull kruh bull TEEZ)Socrates was an Athenian sculptor whosetrue love was philosophy Socrates left nowritings behind What we know abouthim we have learned from the writings ofhis students

Socrates believed that an absolute truthexisted and that all real knowledge waswithin each person He invented the Socratic method (suh bullKRA bull tihk) of teachingstill used today He asked pointed questionsto force his pupils to use their reason and tosee things for themselves

Some Athenian leaders considered theSocratic method a threat to their power At one time Athens had a tradition of ques-tioning leaders and speaking freelyHowever their defeat in the PeloponnesianWar changed the Athenians They no longertrusted open debate In 399 BC the leadersaccused Socrates of teaching youngAthenians to rebel against the state A juryfound Socrates guilty and sentenced him todeath Socrates could have fled the city but

he chose to remain He argued that he hadlived under the cityrsquos laws so he had toobey them He then drank poison to carryout the juryrsquos sentence

The Ideas of Plato One of Socratesrsquo stu-dents was Plato (PLAY bull toh) Unlike Socrateswe are able to learn a lot about Plato fromhis writings One work Plato wrote is calledthe Republic It explains his ideas about gov-ernment Based on life in Athens Platodecided that democracy was not a goodsystem of government He did not thinkthat rule by the people produced fair or sen-sible policies To him people could not livegood lives unless they had a just and rea-sonable government

In the Republic Plato described his idealgovernment He divided people into threebasic groups At the top were philosopher-kings who ruled using logic and wisdomWarriors made up the second group Theydefended the state from attack

The third group included the rest of thepeople They were driven by desire not bywisdom like the first group or courage likethe second These people produced thestatersquos food clothing and shelter Plato alsobelieved that men and women should havethe same education and an equal chance tohave the same jobs

Who Was Aristotle Plato established aschool in Athens known as the Academy Hisbest student was Aristotle (AR bulluh bull STAH bull tuhl)Aristotle wrote more than 200 books ontopics ranging from government to theplanets and stars

In 335 BC Aristotle opened his ownschool called the Lyceum At the LyceumAristotle taught his pupils the ldquogoldenmeanrdquo This idea holds that a person shoulddo nothing in excess For example a person

should not eat too little or too much but justenough to stay well

Aristotle also helped to advance scienceHe urged people to use their senses to makeobservations just as scientists today makeobservations Aristotle was the first personto group observations according to their sim-ilarities and differences Then he made gen-eralizations based on the groups of facts

Like Plato Aristotle wrote about gov-ernment He studied and compared thegovernments of 158 different places to findthe best form of government In his bookPolitics Aristotle divided the governmentsinto three types

bull Government by one person such as amonarch (king or queen) or a tyrant

bull Government by a few people whichmight be an aristocracy or an oligarchy

bull Government by many people as in ademocracy

Aristotle noticed that governments runby a few people were usually run by therich He noticed that most democracieswere run by the poor He thought the bestgovernment was a mixture of the two

Aristotlersquos ideas shaped the wayEuropeans and Americans thought aboutgovernment The founders of the UnitedStates Constitution tried to create a mixedgovernment that balanced the differenttypes Aristotle had identified

require lifelong learning

PLATO AND ARISTOTLEPlato c 428ndash347 BCAristotle 384ndash322 BC

Plato was from a noble Greek family and had planned a career in

politics However he was so horrified by the death of his teacher

Socrates that he left politics and spent many years traveling and

writing When Plato returned to Athens in 387 BC he founded an

academy where he taught using Socratesrsquo method of questioning His

academy drew bright young students from Athens and other Greek

city-states Plato looked for truth beyond the appearances of

everyday objects and reflected this philosophy in his writing and

teaching He believed the human soul was the connection between

the appearance of things and ideas

Plato and Aristotlemdashtwo of the greatest ancient Greek

philosophersmdashmet as teacher and student at Platorsquos Academy in

Athens Aristotle left his home in Stagira and arrived on the Academyrsquos

doorstep when he was eighteen years old He remained at Platorsquos Academy for

20 years until the death of his teacher Unlike Plato Aristotle did not come from

a noble family His father was the court physician to the king of Macedonia At an early

age Aristotlersquos father introduced him to the topics of medicine and biology and these

became his main interests of study Aristotle sought truth through a systematic scientific

approach He liked to jot down notes and details about different

topicsmdashfrom weather to human behaviormdashand arrange them in

categories He did not trust the sensesrsquo ability to understand the

universeAfter Platorsquos death Aristotle traveled for about 12 years

He also tutored the future Alexander the Great Later in his life he

returned to Athens and opened his own school the Lyceum He

made his school the center for research in every area of

knowledge known to the Greeks

find out what Greek historians thought was important

In most places in the ancient world peo-ple did not write history Legends andmyths explained their past Some civiliza-tions kept long lists of rulers and the datesthey were in power but no one tried toexplain the past by studying events Thenin 435 BC a Greek named Herodotus (hih bullRAH bull duh bull tuhs) wrote the history of thePersian Wars

In his book Herodotus tried to separatefact from legend He asked questionsrecorded answers and checked the truthful-ness of his sources Although his historyincludes some errors and uses gods and god-desses to explain some events Western histo-rians consider him the ldquofather of historyrdquo

Many historians consider Thucydides(thoo bullSIH bullduh bull DEEZ) the greatest historian ofthe ancient world Thucydides fought in thePeloponnesian War After he lost a battle hewas sent into exile There he wrote hisHistory of the Peloponnesian War

Unlike Herodotus Thucydides saw warand politics as the activities of humanbeings not gods He also stressed theimportance of having accurate facts

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

bull visited all of his wounded men

bull spared the lives of the queen and

bull built new cities where others had

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

Greek Culture SpreadsHellenistic cities became centers of

learning and culture

Reading Focus Imagine you are a leading citizen in a

new city How would you make it the best city possible

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Explain How did theHellenistic kingdoms spread Greek culture

that tumbles and splashes down from the rocks

If the Muses get the ewe for their prize

yoursquoll win the [baby] lambBut if they choose

the lamb yoursquoll carry away the ewerdquomdashTheocritus ldquoFirst Idyllrdquo

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

Contrast What were thedifferences between Epicureanism and Stoicism

out about the person who created geometry and other

scientists from the Hellenistic Era

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

In a comedy (KAH bull muh bull dee) the storyends happily Today we use the word comedyto mean a story filled with humor The wordactually means any drama that has a happyending

Greek stories dealt with big questionssuch as

bull What is the nature of good and evilbull What rights should people havebull What role do gods play in our lives

The three best-known writers of Greektragedies were Aeschylus (EHS bull kuh bull luhs)Sophocles (SAH bull fuh bull KLEEZ) and Euripides(yu bull RIH bull puh bull DEEZ) The best-known writerof Greek comedies was Aristophanes (ar bulluh bullSTAH bull fuh bull NEEZ)

Early Greek tragedies had only one actorwho gave speeches and a chorus that sangsongs describing the events Aeschylus wasthe first to introduce the idea of having twoactors This let the writer tell a story involvingconflict between the two people Aeschylusalso introduced costumes props and stagedecorationsmdashall ideas we still use today

One of Aeschylusrsquos best-known plays is a group of three plays called the Oresteia(ohr bull eh bull STY bull uh) Aeschylus wrote theplays in 458 BC They describe what hap-pens when the king of Mycenae returnshome from the Trojan War The Oresteiateaches that evil acts cause more evil actsand suffering In the end however reasontriumphs over evil The moral of theseplays is that people should not seekrevenge

Sophocles a general and a writer of playsdeveloped drama even further He usedthree actors in his stories instead of one ortwo He also placed painted scenes behindthe stage as a backdrop to the action Two ofSophoclesrsquo most famous plays are OedipusRex (EH bull duh bull puhs REHKS) and Antigone (an bull TIH bull guh bull nee) In Antigone Sophocles

asks the question ldquoIs it better to followorders or to do what is rightrdquo

Euripides a later playwright tried totake Greek drama beyond heroes and godsHis characters were more down-to-earthEuripidesrsquo plots show a great interest inreal-life situations He questioned tradi-tional thinking especially about war Heshowed war as cruel and women and chil-dren as its victims

The works of Aristophanes are goodexamples of comedies They make fun ofleading politicians and scholars Theyencourage the audience to think as well asto laugh Many of Aristophanesrsquo playsincluded jokes just like popular televisioncomedies do today

CHAPTER 5 Greek Civilization 163

In addition to making pottery theGreeks were skilled architects Architectureis the art of designing and building struc-tures In Greece the most important archi-tecture was the temple dedicated to a god orgoddess The best-known example is theParthenon Temples such as the Parthenonhad a walled room in their centers Statuesof gods and goddesses and the gifts offeredto them were kept in these central rooms

Large columns supported many Greekbuildings The first Greek columns werecarved from wood Then in 500 BC theGreeks began to use marble Marblecolumns were built in sections Largeblocks of marble were chiseled from stonequarries and brought by oxen-drawnwagon to the building site The sectionswere stacked on top of each other To keep

them from toppling the columnrsquos sectionswere joined with wooden pegs Todaymarble columns are common features ofchurches and government buildingsSome of the best-known buildings in ournationrsquos capital such as the White Houseand the Capitol have columns similar toGreek columns

Many Greek temples were decoratedwith sculpture Greek sculpture like Greekarchitecture was used to express Greekideas The favorite subject of Greek artistswas the human body Greek sculptors didnot copy their subjects exactly flaws andall Instead they tried to show their idealversion of perfection and beauty

Among all those mortals who grew so wise that they learned thesecrets of the gods none was more cunning than Daedalus1

He once built for King Minos of Crete a wonderful Labyrinth ofwinding ways so cunningly tangled up and twisted around thatonce inside you could never find your way out again without amagic clue But the kingrsquos favor veered with the wind and one dayhe had his master architect imprisoned in a tower Daedalusmanaged to escape from his cell but it seemed impossible to leavethe island since every ship that came or went was well guarded byorder of the king

At length watching the sea-gulls in the airmdashthe only creaturesthat were sure of libertymdashhe thought of a plan for himself and hisyoung son Icarus2 who was captive with him

Little by little he gathered a store of feathers great and smallHe fastened these together with thread moulded them in with waxand so fashioned two great wings like those of a bird When theywere done Daedalus fitted them to his own shoulders and afterone or two efforts he found that by waving his arms he couldwinnow the air and cleave3 it as a swimmer does the seaHe held himself aloft wavered this way and that with the wind and at last like a great fledgling4 he learned to fly

As You ReadKeep in mind that a myth is a special kind of story usuallyinvolving gods or goddesses Greek myths like this one weretold and retold over many hundreds of years Try to figure outwhy the Greeks told this story What lesson does it teach

Without delay he fell to work on a pair of wings for the boyIcarus and taught him carefully how to use them bidding himbeware of rash adventures among the stars ldquoRememberrdquo said thefather ldquonever fly very low or very high for the fogs about the earthwould weigh you down but the blaze of the sun will surely meltyour feathers apart if you go too nearrdquo

For Icarus these cautions went in at one ear and out by theother Who could remember to be careful when he was to fly for thefirst time Are birds careful Not they And not an idea remained inthe boyrsquos head but the one joy of escape

The day came and the fair wind that was to set them free Thefather bird put on his wings and while the light urged them to begone he waited to see that all was well with Icarus for the twocould not fly hand in hand Up they rose the boy after his fatherThe hateful ground of Crete sank beneath them and the countryfolk who caught a glimpse of them when they were high abovethe tree-tops took it for a vision of the godsmdashApollo5

Responding to the Reading

He longed for one draught9 of flight to quench the thirst ofhis captivity he stretched out his arms to the sky and madetoward the highest heavens

Sophists like Libanius(above) thought that people should use knowledge to improvethemselves They believed that there is no absolute right or wrong

He rejected the ideaof democracy as a form of governmentPlato believed that philosopher-kings should rule society

Aristotle taught the idea of the ldquogolden meanrdquo He believed observation and comparison werenecessary to gainknowledge

The importance of public speaking can be seen in political debates between candidates

His methods influenced the way teachers interact with their students

He introduced the idea that govern-ment should be fair and just

His political ideas still shape political ideas today

They developed the art of public speak-ing and debate

He created the Socratic method of teaching

He described his vision of the ideal government in his work the Republic

He wrote over 200 books on philoso-phy and science He divided all govern-ments into threebasic types

He was a critic of the Sophists Socrates believed that there was an absolute right and wrong

city and made a living by teaching othersThey believed students should use theirtime to improve themselves Many taughttheir students how to win an argument andmake good political speeches

Sophists did not believe that gods andgoddesses influenced people They alsorejected the idea of absolute right or wrongThey believed that what was right for oneperson might be wrong for another

The Ideas of Socrates One critic of theSophists was Socrates (SAH bull kruh bull TEEZ)Socrates was an Athenian sculptor whosetrue love was philosophy Socrates left nowritings behind What we know abouthim we have learned from the writings ofhis students

Socrates believed that an absolute truthexisted and that all real knowledge waswithin each person He invented the Socratic method (suh bullKRA bull tihk) of teachingstill used today He asked pointed questionsto force his pupils to use their reason and tosee things for themselves

Some Athenian leaders considered theSocratic method a threat to their power At one time Athens had a tradition of ques-tioning leaders and speaking freelyHowever their defeat in the PeloponnesianWar changed the Athenians They no longertrusted open debate In 399 BC the leadersaccused Socrates of teaching youngAthenians to rebel against the state A juryfound Socrates guilty and sentenced him todeath Socrates could have fled the city but

he chose to remain He argued that he hadlived under the cityrsquos laws so he had toobey them He then drank poison to carryout the juryrsquos sentence

The Ideas of Plato One of Socratesrsquo stu-dents was Plato (PLAY bull toh) Unlike Socrateswe are able to learn a lot about Plato fromhis writings One work Plato wrote is calledthe Republic It explains his ideas about gov-ernment Based on life in Athens Platodecided that democracy was not a goodsystem of government He did not thinkthat rule by the people produced fair or sen-sible policies To him people could not livegood lives unless they had a just and rea-sonable government

In the Republic Plato described his idealgovernment He divided people into threebasic groups At the top were philosopher-kings who ruled using logic and wisdomWarriors made up the second group Theydefended the state from attack

The third group included the rest of thepeople They were driven by desire not bywisdom like the first group or courage likethe second These people produced thestatersquos food clothing and shelter Plato alsobelieved that men and women should havethe same education and an equal chance tohave the same jobs

Who Was Aristotle Plato established aschool in Athens known as the Academy Hisbest student was Aristotle (AR bulluh bull STAH bull tuhl)Aristotle wrote more than 200 books ontopics ranging from government to theplanets and stars

In 335 BC Aristotle opened his ownschool called the Lyceum At the LyceumAristotle taught his pupils the ldquogoldenmeanrdquo This idea holds that a person shoulddo nothing in excess For example a person

should not eat too little or too much but justenough to stay well

Aristotle also helped to advance scienceHe urged people to use their senses to makeobservations just as scientists today makeobservations Aristotle was the first personto group observations according to their sim-ilarities and differences Then he made gen-eralizations based on the groups of facts

Like Plato Aristotle wrote about gov-ernment He studied and compared thegovernments of 158 different places to findthe best form of government In his bookPolitics Aristotle divided the governmentsinto three types

bull Government by one person such as amonarch (king or queen) or a tyrant

bull Government by a few people whichmight be an aristocracy or an oligarchy

bull Government by many people as in ademocracy

Aristotle noticed that governments runby a few people were usually run by therich He noticed that most democracieswere run by the poor He thought the bestgovernment was a mixture of the two

Aristotlersquos ideas shaped the wayEuropeans and Americans thought aboutgovernment The founders of the UnitedStates Constitution tried to create a mixedgovernment that balanced the differenttypes Aristotle had identified

require lifelong learning

PLATO AND ARISTOTLEPlato c 428ndash347 BCAristotle 384ndash322 BC

Plato was from a noble Greek family and had planned a career in

politics However he was so horrified by the death of his teacher

Socrates that he left politics and spent many years traveling and

writing When Plato returned to Athens in 387 BC he founded an

academy where he taught using Socratesrsquo method of questioning His

academy drew bright young students from Athens and other Greek

city-states Plato looked for truth beyond the appearances of

everyday objects and reflected this philosophy in his writing and

teaching He believed the human soul was the connection between

the appearance of things and ideas

Plato and Aristotlemdashtwo of the greatest ancient Greek

philosophersmdashmet as teacher and student at Platorsquos Academy in

Athens Aristotle left his home in Stagira and arrived on the Academyrsquos

doorstep when he was eighteen years old He remained at Platorsquos Academy for

20 years until the death of his teacher Unlike Plato Aristotle did not come from

a noble family His father was the court physician to the king of Macedonia At an early

age Aristotlersquos father introduced him to the topics of medicine and biology and these

became his main interests of study Aristotle sought truth through a systematic scientific

approach He liked to jot down notes and details about different

topicsmdashfrom weather to human behaviormdashand arrange them in

categories He did not trust the sensesrsquo ability to understand the

universeAfter Platorsquos death Aristotle traveled for about 12 years

He also tutored the future Alexander the Great Later in his life he

returned to Athens and opened his own school the Lyceum He

made his school the center for research in every area of

knowledge known to the Greeks

find out what Greek historians thought was important

In most places in the ancient world peo-ple did not write history Legends andmyths explained their past Some civiliza-tions kept long lists of rulers and the datesthey were in power but no one tried toexplain the past by studying events Thenin 435 BC a Greek named Herodotus (hih bullRAH bull duh bull tuhs) wrote the history of thePersian Wars

In his book Herodotus tried to separatefact from legend He asked questionsrecorded answers and checked the truthful-ness of his sources Although his historyincludes some errors and uses gods and god-desses to explain some events Western histo-rians consider him the ldquofather of historyrdquo

Many historians consider Thucydides(thoo bullSIH bullduh bull DEEZ) the greatest historian ofthe ancient world Thucydides fought in thePeloponnesian War After he lost a battle hewas sent into exile There he wrote hisHistory of the Peloponnesian War

Unlike Herodotus Thucydides saw warand politics as the activities of humanbeings not gods He also stressed theimportance of having accurate facts

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

bull visited all of his wounded men

bull spared the lives of the queen and

bull built new cities where others had

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

Greek Culture SpreadsHellenistic cities became centers of

learning and culture

Reading Focus Imagine you are a leading citizen in a

new city How would you make it the best city possible

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Explain How did theHellenistic kingdoms spread Greek culture

that tumbles and splashes down from the rocks

If the Muses get the ewe for their prize

yoursquoll win the [baby] lambBut if they choose

the lamb yoursquoll carry away the ewerdquomdashTheocritus ldquoFirst Idyllrdquo

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

Contrast What were thedifferences between Epicureanism and Stoicism

out about the person who created geometry and other

scientists from the Hellenistic Era

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

CHAPTER 5 Greek Civilization 163

In addition to making pottery theGreeks were skilled architects Architectureis the art of designing and building struc-tures In Greece the most important archi-tecture was the temple dedicated to a god orgoddess The best-known example is theParthenon Temples such as the Parthenonhad a walled room in their centers Statuesof gods and goddesses and the gifts offeredto them were kept in these central rooms

Large columns supported many Greekbuildings The first Greek columns werecarved from wood Then in 500 BC theGreeks began to use marble Marblecolumns were built in sections Largeblocks of marble were chiseled from stonequarries and brought by oxen-drawnwagon to the building site The sectionswere stacked on top of each other To keep

them from toppling the columnrsquos sectionswere joined with wooden pegs Todaymarble columns are common features ofchurches and government buildingsSome of the best-known buildings in ournationrsquos capital such as the White Houseand the Capitol have columns similar toGreek columns

Many Greek temples were decoratedwith sculpture Greek sculpture like Greekarchitecture was used to express Greekideas The favorite subject of Greek artistswas the human body Greek sculptors didnot copy their subjects exactly flaws andall Instead they tried to show their idealversion of perfection and beauty

Among all those mortals who grew so wise that they learned thesecrets of the gods none was more cunning than Daedalus1

He once built for King Minos of Crete a wonderful Labyrinth ofwinding ways so cunningly tangled up and twisted around thatonce inside you could never find your way out again without amagic clue But the kingrsquos favor veered with the wind and one dayhe had his master architect imprisoned in a tower Daedalusmanaged to escape from his cell but it seemed impossible to leavethe island since every ship that came or went was well guarded byorder of the king

At length watching the sea-gulls in the airmdashthe only creaturesthat were sure of libertymdashhe thought of a plan for himself and hisyoung son Icarus2 who was captive with him

Little by little he gathered a store of feathers great and smallHe fastened these together with thread moulded them in with waxand so fashioned two great wings like those of a bird When theywere done Daedalus fitted them to his own shoulders and afterone or two efforts he found that by waving his arms he couldwinnow the air and cleave3 it as a swimmer does the seaHe held himself aloft wavered this way and that with the wind and at last like a great fledgling4 he learned to fly

Without delay he fell to work on a pair of wings for the boyIcarus and taught him carefully how to use them bidding himbeware of rash adventures among the stars ldquoRememberrdquo said thefather ldquonever fly very low or very high for the fogs about the earthwould weigh you down but the blaze of the sun will surely meltyour feathers apart if you go too nearrdquo

For Icarus these cautions went in at one ear and out by theother Who could remember to be careful when he was to fly for thefirst time Are birds careful Not they And not an idea remained inthe boyrsquos head but the one joy of escape

The day came and the fair wind that was to set them free Thefather bird put on his wings and while the light urged them to begone he waited to see that all was well with Icarus for the twocould not fly hand in hand Up they rose the boy after his fatherThe hateful ground of Crete sank beneath them and the countryfolk who caught a glimpse of them when they were high abovethe tree-tops took it for a vision of the godsmdashApollo5

Responding to the Reading

He longed for one draught9 of flight to quench the thirst ofhis captivity he stretched out his arms to the sky and madetoward the highest heavens

Alas for him Warmer and warmer grew the air Thosearms that had seemed to uphold him relaxed His wingswavered drooped He fluttered his young hands vainlymdashhe was fallingmdashand in that terror he remembered The heat of the sun had melted the wax from his wings the feathers were fallingone by one like snowflakes and there was none to help

He fell like a leaf tossed down the wind downdown with one cry that overtook Daedalus far away When he returned and sought high and low for the poor boy he saw nothing but the bird-like feathers afloat on the water and he knew that Icarus was drowned

The nearest island he named Icariain memory of the child but he in heavy griefwent to the temple of Apollo in Sicily and there hung up his wings as an offering Never again did he attempt to fly

Sophists like Libanius(above) thought that people should use knowledge to improvethemselves They believed that there is no absolute right or wrong

He rejected the ideaof democracy as a form of governmentPlato believed that philosopher-kings should rule society

Aristotle taught the idea of the ldquogolden meanrdquo He believed observation and comparison werenecessary to gainknowledge

The importance of public speaking can be seen in political debates between candidates

His methods influenced the way teachers interact with their students

He introduced the idea that govern-ment should be fair and just

His political ideas still shape political ideas today

They developed the art of public speak-ing and debate

He created the Socratic method of teaching

He described his vision of the ideal government in his work the Republic

He wrote over 200 books on philoso-phy and science He divided all govern-ments into threebasic types

He was a critic of the Sophists Socrates believed that there was an absolute right and wrong

city and made a living by teaching othersThey believed students should use theirtime to improve themselves Many taughttheir students how to win an argument andmake good political speeches

Sophists did not believe that gods andgoddesses influenced people They alsorejected the idea of absolute right or wrongThey believed that what was right for oneperson might be wrong for another

The Ideas of Socrates One critic of theSophists was Socrates (SAH bull kruh bull TEEZ)Socrates was an Athenian sculptor whosetrue love was philosophy Socrates left nowritings behind What we know abouthim we have learned from the writings ofhis students

Socrates believed that an absolute truthexisted and that all real knowledge waswithin each person He invented the Socratic method (suh bullKRA bull tihk) of teachingstill used today He asked pointed questionsto force his pupils to use their reason and tosee things for themselves

Some Athenian leaders considered theSocratic method a threat to their power At one time Athens had a tradition of ques-tioning leaders and speaking freelyHowever their defeat in the PeloponnesianWar changed the Athenians They no longertrusted open debate In 399 BC the leadersaccused Socrates of teaching youngAthenians to rebel against the state A juryfound Socrates guilty and sentenced him todeath Socrates could have fled the city but

he chose to remain He argued that he hadlived under the cityrsquos laws so he had toobey them He then drank poison to carryout the juryrsquos sentence

The Ideas of Plato One of Socratesrsquo stu-dents was Plato (PLAY bull toh) Unlike Socrateswe are able to learn a lot about Plato fromhis writings One work Plato wrote is calledthe Republic It explains his ideas about gov-ernment Based on life in Athens Platodecided that democracy was not a goodsystem of government He did not thinkthat rule by the people produced fair or sen-sible policies To him people could not livegood lives unless they had a just and rea-sonable government

In the Republic Plato described his idealgovernment He divided people into threebasic groups At the top were philosopher-kings who ruled using logic and wisdomWarriors made up the second group Theydefended the state from attack

The third group included the rest of thepeople They were driven by desire not bywisdom like the first group or courage likethe second These people produced thestatersquos food clothing and shelter Plato alsobelieved that men and women should havethe same education and an equal chance tohave the same jobs

Who Was Aristotle Plato established aschool in Athens known as the Academy Hisbest student was Aristotle (AR bulluh bull STAH bull tuhl)Aristotle wrote more than 200 books ontopics ranging from government to theplanets and stars

In 335 BC Aristotle opened his ownschool called the Lyceum At the LyceumAristotle taught his pupils the ldquogoldenmeanrdquo This idea holds that a person shoulddo nothing in excess For example a person

should not eat too little or too much but justenough to stay well

Aristotle also helped to advance scienceHe urged people to use their senses to makeobservations just as scientists today makeobservations Aristotle was the first personto group observations according to their sim-ilarities and differences Then he made gen-eralizations based on the groups of facts

Like Plato Aristotle wrote about gov-ernment He studied and compared thegovernments of 158 different places to findthe best form of government In his bookPolitics Aristotle divided the governmentsinto three types

bull Government by one person such as amonarch (king or queen) or a tyrant

bull Government by a few people whichmight be an aristocracy or an oligarchy

bull Government by many people as in ademocracy

Aristotle noticed that governments runby a few people were usually run by therich He noticed that most democracieswere run by the poor He thought the bestgovernment was a mixture of the two

Aristotlersquos ideas shaped the wayEuropeans and Americans thought aboutgovernment The founders of the UnitedStates Constitution tried to create a mixedgovernment that balanced the differenttypes Aristotle had identified

Contrast How didAristotlersquos idea of government differ from Platorsquos

What present-day careers or subjects of study

require lifelong learning

PLATO AND ARISTOTLEPlato c 428ndash347 BCAristotle 384ndash322 BC

Plato was from a noble Greek family and had planned a career in

politics However he was so horrified by the death of his teacher

Socrates that he left politics and spent many years traveling and

writing When Plato returned to Athens in 387 BC he founded an

academy where he taught using Socratesrsquo method of questioning His

academy drew bright young students from Athens and other Greek

city-states Plato looked for truth beyond the appearances of

everyday objects and reflected this philosophy in his writing and

teaching He believed the human soul was the connection between

the appearance of things and ideas

Plato and Aristotlemdashtwo of the greatest ancient Greek

philosophersmdashmet as teacher and student at Platorsquos Academy in

Athens Aristotle left his home in Stagira and arrived on the Academyrsquos

doorstep when he was eighteen years old He remained at Platorsquos Academy for

20 years until the death of his teacher Unlike Plato Aristotle did not come from

a noble family His father was the court physician to the king of Macedonia At an early

age Aristotlersquos father introduced him to the topics of medicine and biology and these

became his main interests of study Aristotle sought truth through a systematic scientific

approach He liked to jot down notes and details about different

topicsmdashfrom weather to human behaviormdashand arrange them in

categories He did not trust the sensesrsquo ability to understand the

universeAfter Platorsquos death Aristotle traveled for about 12 years

He also tutored the future Alexander the Great Later in his life he

returned to Athens and opened his own school the Lyceum He

made his school the center for research in every area of

knowledge known to the Greeks

find out what Greek historians thought was important

In most places in the ancient world peo-ple did not write history Legends andmyths explained their past Some civiliza-tions kept long lists of rulers and the datesthey were in power but no one tried toexplain the past by studying events Thenin 435 BC a Greek named Herodotus (hih bullRAH bull duh bull tuhs) wrote the history of thePersian Wars

In his book Herodotus tried to separatefact from legend He asked questionsrecorded answers and checked the truthful-ness of his sources Although his historyincludes some errors and uses gods and god-desses to explain some events Western histo-rians consider him the ldquofather of historyrdquo

Many historians consider Thucydides(thoo bullSIH bullduh bull DEEZ) the greatest historian ofthe ancient world Thucydides fought in thePeloponnesian War After he lost a battle hewas sent into exile There he wrote hisHistory of the Peloponnesian War

Unlike Herodotus Thucydides saw warand politics as the activities of humanbeings not gods He also stressed theimportance of having accurate facts

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

The key to Alexanderrsquos courage mayhave been his childhood educationAlexander kept a copy of the Iliad under hispillow Most likely his inspiration wasHomerrsquos warrior-hero Achilles In the endAlexanderrsquos reputation outstripped evenAchillesrsquo and today he is called Alexanderthe Great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

bull spared the lives of the queen and

bull built new cities where others had

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

Contrast What were thedifferences between Epicureanism and Stoicism

Reading Focus Do you know how to find the area of

a square If so you are doing geometry Read on to find

out about the person who created geometry and other

scientists from the Hellenistic Era

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

Euclid (YOO bullkluhd) is probably the mostfamous Greek mathematician His best-known book Elements describes plane geometry Plane geometry (jee bull AH bull muh bulltree) is the branch of mathematics that shows

In addition to making pottery theGreeks were skilled architects Architectureis the art of designing and building struc-tures In Greece the most important archi-tecture was the temple dedicated to a god orgoddess The best-known example is theParthenon Temples such as the Parthenonhad a walled room in their centers Statuesof gods and goddesses and the gifts offeredto them were kept in these central rooms

Large columns supported many Greekbuildings The first Greek columns werecarved from wood Then in 500 BC theGreeks began to use marble Marblecolumns were built in sections Largeblocks of marble were chiseled from stonequarries and brought by oxen-drawnwagon to the building site The sectionswere stacked on top of each other To keep

them from toppling the columnrsquos sectionswere joined with wooden pegs Todaymarble columns are common features ofchurches and government buildingsSome of the best-known buildings in ournationrsquos capital such as the White Houseand the Capitol have columns similar toGreek columns

Among all those mortals who grew so wise that they learned thesecrets of the gods none was more cunning than Daedalus1

He once built for King Minos of Crete a wonderful Labyrinth ofwinding ways so cunningly tangled up and twisted around thatonce inside you could never find your way out again without amagic clue But the kingrsquos favor veered with the wind and one dayhe had his master architect imprisoned in a tower Daedalusmanaged to escape from his cell but it seemed impossible to leavethe island since every ship that came or went was well guarded byorder of the king

At length watching the sea-gulls in the airmdashthe only creaturesthat were sure of libertymdashhe thought of a plan for himself and hisyoung son Icarus2 who was captive with him

Little by little he gathered a store of feathers great and smallHe fastened these together with thread moulded them in with waxand so fashioned two great wings like those of a bird When theywere done Daedalus fitted them to his own shoulders and afterone or two efforts he found that by waving his arms he couldwinnow the air and cleave3 it as a swimmer does the seaHe held himself aloft wavered this way and that with the wind and at last like a great fledgling4 he learned to fly

Without delay he fell to work on a pair of wings for the boyIcarus and taught him carefully how to use them bidding himbeware of rash adventures among the stars ldquoRememberrdquo said thefather ldquonever fly very low or very high for the fogs about the earthwould weigh you down but the blaze of the sun will surely meltyour feathers apart if you go too nearrdquo

For Icarus these cautions went in at one ear and out by theother Who could remember to be careful when he was to fly for thefirst time Are birds careful Not they And not an idea remained inthe boyrsquos head but the one joy of escape

The day came and the fair wind that was to set them free Thefather bird put on his wings and while the light urged them to begone he waited to see that all was well with Icarus for the twocould not fly hand in hand Up they rose the boy after his fatherThe hateful ground of Crete sank beneath them and the countryfolk who caught a glimpse of them when they were high abovethe tree-tops took it for a vision of the godsmdashApollo5

Responding to the Reading

He longed for one draught9 of flight to quench the thirst ofhis captivity he stretched out his arms to the sky and madetoward the highest heavens

Alas for him Warmer and warmer grew the air Thosearms that had seemed to uphold him relaxed His wingswavered drooped He fluttered his young hands vainlymdashhe was fallingmdashand in that terror he remembered The heat of the sun had melted the wax from his wings the feathers were fallingone by one like snowflakes and there was none to help

He fell like a leaf tossed down the wind downdown with one cry that overtook Daedalus far away When he returned and sought high and low for the poor boy he saw nothing but the bird-like feathers afloat on the water and he knew that Icarus was drowned

The nearest island he named Icariain memory of the child but he in heavy griefwent to the temple of Apollo in Sicily and there hung up his wings as an offering Never again did he attempt to fly

Sophists did not believe that gods andgoddesses influenced people They alsorejected the idea of absolute right or wrongThey believed that what was right for oneperson might be wrong for another

The Ideas of Socrates One critic of theSophists was Socrates (SAH bull kruh bull TEEZ)Socrates was an Athenian sculptor whosetrue love was philosophy Socrates left nowritings behind What we know abouthim we have learned from the writings ofhis students

Socrates believed that an absolute truthexisted and that all real knowledge waswithin each person He invented the Socratic method (suh bullKRA bull tihk) of teachingstill used today He asked pointed questionsto force his pupils to use their reason and tosee things for themselves

Some Athenian leaders considered theSocratic method a threat to their power At one time Athens had a tradition of ques-tioning leaders and speaking freelyHowever their defeat in the PeloponnesianWar changed the Athenians They no longertrusted open debate In 399 BC the leadersaccused Socrates of teaching youngAthenians to rebel against the state A juryfound Socrates guilty and sentenced him todeath Socrates could have fled the city but

The Ideas of Plato One of Socratesrsquo stu-dents was Plato (PLAY bull toh) Unlike Socrateswe are able to learn a lot about Plato fromhis writings One work Plato wrote is calledthe Republic It explains his ideas about gov-ernment Based on life in Athens Platodecided that democracy was not a goodsystem of government He did not thinkthat rule by the people produced fair or sen-sible policies To him people could not livegood lives unless they had a just and rea-sonable government

In the Republic Plato described his idealgovernment He divided people into threebasic groups At the top were philosopher-kings who ruled using logic and wisdomWarriors made up the second group Theydefended the state from attack

The third group included the rest of thepeople They were driven by desire not bywisdom like the first group or courage likethe second These people produced thestatersquos food clothing and shelter Plato alsobelieved that men and women should havethe same education and an equal chance tohave the same jobs

Who Was Aristotle Plato established aschool in Athens known as the Academy Hisbest student was Aristotle (AR bulluh bull STAH bull tuhl)Aristotle wrote more than 200 books ontopics ranging from government to theplanets and stars

In 335 BC Aristotle opened his ownschool called the Lyceum At the LyceumAristotle taught his pupils the ldquogoldenmeanrdquo This idea holds that a person shoulddo nothing in excess For example a person

should not eat too little or too much but justenough to stay well

Aristotle also helped to advance scienceHe urged people to use their senses to makeobservations just as scientists today makeobservations Aristotle was the first personto group observations according to their sim-ilarities and differences Then he made gen-eralizations based on the groups of facts

Like Plato Aristotle wrote about gov-ernment He studied and compared thegovernments of 158 different places to findthe best form of government In his bookPolitics Aristotle divided the governmentsinto three types

bull Government by one person such as amonarch (king or queen) or a tyrant

bull Government by a few people whichmight be an aristocracy or an oligarchy

bull Government by many people as in ademocracy

Aristotle noticed that governments runby a few people were usually run by therich He noticed that most democracieswere run by the poor He thought the bestgovernment was a mixture of the two

Aristotlersquos ideas shaped the wayEuropeans and Americans thought aboutgovernment The founders of the UnitedStates Constitution tried to create a mixedgovernment that balanced the differenttypes Aristotle had identified

Contrast How didAristotlersquos idea of government differ from Platorsquos

Aristotle spent 20 years at Platorsquos Academy

What present-day careers or subjects of study

require lifelong learning

PLATO AND ARISTOTLEPlato c 428ndash347 BCAristotle 384ndash322 BC

Plato was from a noble Greek family and had planned a career in

politics However he was so horrified by the death of his teacher

Socrates that he left politics and spent many years traveling and

writing When Plato returned to Athens in 387 BC he founded an

academy where he taught using Socratesrsquo method of questioning His

academy drew bright young students from Athens and other Greek

city-states Plato looked for truth beyond the appearances of

everyday objects and reflected this philosophy in his writing and

teaching He believed the human soul was the connection between

the appearance of things and ideas

Plato and Aristotlemdashtwo of the greatest ancient Greek

philosophersmdashmet as teacher and student at Platorsquos Academy in

Athens Aristotle left his home in Stagira and arrived on the Academyrsquos

doorstep when he was eighteen years old He remained at Platorsquos Academy for

20 years until the death of his teacher Unlike Plato Aristotle did not come from

a noble family His father was the court physician to the king of Macedonia At an early

age Aristotlersquos father introduced him to the topics of medicine and biology and these

became his main interests of study Aristotle sought truth through a systematic scientific

approach He liked to jot down notes and details about different

topicsmdashfrom weather to human behaviormdashand arrange them in

categories He did not trust the sensesrsquo ability to understand the

universeAfter Platorsquos death Aristotle traveled for about 12 years

He also tutored the future Alexander the Great Later in his life he

returned to Athens and opened his own school the Lyceum He

made his school the center for research in every area of

knowledge known to the Greeks

find out what Greek historians thought was important

In most places in the ancient world peo-ple did not write history Legends andmyths explained their past Some civiliza-tions kept long lists of rulers and the datesthey were in power but no one tried toexplain the past by studying events Thenin 435 BC a Greek named Herodotus (hih bullRAH bull duh bull tuhs) wrote the history of thePersian Wars

In his book Herodotus tried to separatefact from legend He asked questionsrecorded answers and checked the truthful-ness of his sources Although his historyincludes some errors and uses gods and god-desses to explain some events Western histo-rians consider him the ldquofather of historyrdquo

Many historians consider Thucydides(thoo bullSIH bullduh bull DEEZ) the greatest historian ofthe ancient world Thucydides fought in thePeloponnesian War After he lost a battle hewas sent into exile There he wrote hisHistory of the Peloponnesian War

Unlike Herodotus Thucydides saw warand politics as the activities of humanbeings not gods He also stressed theimportance of having accurate facts

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

The key to Alexanderrsquos courage mayhave been his childhood educationAlexander kept a copy of the Iliad under hispillow Most likely his inspiration wasHomerrsquos warrior-hero Achilles In the endAlexanderrsquos reputation outstripped evenAchillesrsquo and today he is called Alexanderthe Great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

scientists from the Hellenistic Era

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

Euclid (YOO bullkluhd) is probably the mostfamous Greek mathematician His best-known book Elements describes plane geometry Plane geometry (jee bull AH bull muh bulltree) is the branch of mathematics that shows

reading Elements Euclid answered thatldquothere is no royal wayrdquo to learn geometry

The most famous scientist of theHellenistic Era was Archimedes (AHR bull kuh bullMEEbulldeez) of Syracuse (SIHRbulluhbull KYOOS) Heworked on solid geometry ( jee bull AH bull muh bulltree)mdashthe study of ball-like shapes calledspheres and tubelike shapes called cylindersHe also figured out the value of pi This num-ber is used to measure the area

of circles and is usually represented by thesymbol π

Archimedes was also an inventor Onestory about Archimedes tells how heinvented weapons ldquoGive me a lever and aplace to stand onrdquo Archimedes said to theking of Syracuse ldquoand I will move theearthrdquo

The king of Syracuse was impressedHe asked Archimedes to use his levers todefend the city So Archimedes designedcatapultsmdashmachines that hurled arrowsspears and rocks When Romans attackedSyracuse in 212 BC Archimedesrsquo catapultsdrove them back It took the Romans threeyears to capture Syracuse During the mas-sacre that followed Archimedes waskilled

Among all those mortals who grew so wise that they learned thesecrets of the gods none was more cunning than Daedalus1

He once built for King Minos of Crete a wonderful Labyrinth ofwinding ways so cunningly tangled up and twisted around thatonce inside you could never find your way out again without amagic clue But the kingrsquos favor veered with the wind and one dayhe had his master architect imprisoned in a tower Daedalusmanaged to escape from his cell but it seemed impossible to leavethe island since every ship that came or went was well guarded byorder of the king

At length watching the sea-gulls in the airmdashthe only creaturesthat were sure of libertymdashhe thought of a plan for himself and hisyoung son Icarus2 who was captive with him

Little by little he gathered a store of feathers great and smallHe fastened these together with thread moulded them in with waxand so fashioned two great wings like those of a bird When theywere done Daedalus fitted them to his own shoulders and afterone or two efforts he found that by waving his arms he couldwinnow the air and cleave3 it as a swimmer does the seaHe held himself aloft wavered this way and that with the wind and at last like a great fledgling4 he learned to fly

Without delay he fell to work on a pair of wings for the boyIcarus and taught him carefully how to use them bidding himbeware of rash adventures among the stars ldquoRememberrdquo said thefather ldquonever fly very low or very high for the fogs about the earthwould weigh you down but the blaze of the sun will surely meltyour feathers apart if you go too nearrdquo

For Icarus these cautions went in at one ear and out by theother Who could remember to be careful when he was to fly for thefirst time Are birds careful Not they And not an idea remained inthe boyrsquos head but the one joy of escape

The day came and the fair wind that was to set them free Thefather bird put on his wings and while the light urged them to begone he waited to see that all was well with Icarus for the twocould not fly hand in hand Up they rose the boy after his fatherThe hateful ground of Crete sank beneath them and the countryfolk who caught a glimpse of them when they were high abovethe tree-tops took it for a vision of the godsmdashApollo5

He longed for one draught9 of flight to quench the thirst ofhis captivity he stretched out his arms to the sky and madetoward the highest heavens

Alas for him Warmer and warmer grew the air Thosearms that had seemed to uphold him relaxed His wingswavered drooped He fluttered his young hands vainlymdashhe was fallingmdashand in that terror he remembered The heat of the sun had melted the wax from his wings the feathers were fallingone by one like snowflakes and there was none to help

He fell like a leaf tossed down the wind downdown with one cry that overtook Daedalus far away When he returned and sought high and low for the poor boy he saw nothing but the bird-like feathers afloat on the water and he knew that Icarus was drowned

The nearest island he named Icariain memory of the child but he in heavy griefwent to the temple of Apollo in Sicily and there hung up his wings as an offering Never again did he attempt to fly

Sophists like Libanius(above) thought that people should use knowledge to improvethemselves They believed that there is no absolute right or wrong

He rejected the ideaof democracy as a form of governmentPlato believed that philosopher-kings should rule society

Aristotle taught the idea of the ldquogolden meanrdquo He believed observation and comparison werenecessary to gainknowledge

The importance of public speaking can be seen in political debates between candidates

His methods influenced the way teachers interact with their students

He introduced the idea that govern-ment should be fair and just

His political ideas still shape political ideas today

They developed the art of public speak-ing and debate

He created the Socratic method of teaching

He described his vision of the ideal government in his work the Republic

He wrote over 200 books on philoso-phy and science He divided all govern-ments into threebasic types

He was a critic of the Sophists Socrates believed that there was an absolute right and wrong

Sophists Socrates Plato Aristotle

city and made a living by teaching othersThey believed students should use theirtime to improve themselves Many taughttheir students how to win an argument andmake good political speeches

Sophists did not believe that gods andgoddesses influenced people They alsorejected the idea of absolute right or wrongThey believed that what was right for oneperson might be wrong for another

The Ideas of Socrates One critic of theSophists was Socrates (SAH bull kruh bull TEEZ)Socrates was an Athenian sculptor whosetrue love was philosophy Socrates left nowritings behind What we know abouthim we have learned from the writings ofhis students

Socrates believed that an absolute truthexisted and that all real knowledge waswithin each person He invented the Socratic method (suh bullKRA bull tihk) of teachingstill used today He asked pointed questionsto force his pupils to use their reason and tosee things for themselves

Some Athenian leaders considered theSocratic method a threat to their power At one time Athens had a tradition of ques-tioning leaders and speaking freelyHowever their defeat in the PeloponnesianWar changed the Athenians They no longertrusted open debate In 399 BC the leadersaccused Socrates of teaching youngAthenians to rebel against the state A juryfound Socrates guilty and sentenced him todeath Socrates could have fled the city but

he chose to remain He argued that he hadlived under the cityrsquos laws so he had toobey them He then drank poison to carryout the juryrsquos sentence

The Ideas of Plato One of Socratesrsquo stu-dents was Plato (PLAY bull toh) Unlike Socrateswe are able to learn a lot about Plato fromhis writings One work Plato wrote is calledthe Republic It explains his ideas about gov-ernment Based on life in Athens Platodecided that democracy was not a goodsystem of government He did not thinkthat rule by the people produced fair or sen-sible policies To him people could not livegood lives unless they had a just and rea-sonable government

In the Republic Plato described his idealgovernment He divided people into threebasic groups At the top were philosopher-kings who ruled using logic and wisdomWarriors made up the second group Theydefended the state from attack

The third group included the rest of thepeople They were driven by desire not bywisdom like the first group or courage likethe second These people produced thestatersquos food clothing and shelter Plato alsobelieved that men and women should havethe same education and an equal chance tohave the same jobs

Who Was Aristotle Plato established aschool in Athens known as the Academy Hisbest student was Aristotle (AR bulluh bull STAH bull tuhl)Aristotle wrote more than 200 books ontopics ranging from government to theplanets and stars

In 335 BC Aristotle opened his ownschool called the Lyceum At the LyceumAristotle taught his pupils the ldquogoldenmeanrdquo This idea holds that a person shoulddo nothing in excess For example a person

should not eat too little or too much but justenough to stay well

Aristotle also helped to advance scienceHe urged people to use their senses to makeobservations just as scientists today makeobservations Aristotle was the first personto group observations according to their sim-ilarities and differences Then he made gen-eralizations based on the groups of facts

Like Plato Aristotle wrote about gov-ernment He studied and compared thegovernments of 158 different places to findthe best form of government In his bookPolitics Aristotle divided the governmentsinto three types

bull Government by one person such as amonarch (king or queen) or a tyrant

bull Government by a few people whichmight be an aristocracy or an oligarchy

bull Government by many people as in ademocracy

Aristotle noticed that governments runby a few people were usually run by therich He noticed that most democracieswere run by the poor He thought the bestgovernment was a mixture of the two

Aristotlersquos ideas shaped the wayEuropeans and Americans thought aboutgovernment The founders of the UnitedStates Constitution tried to create a mixedgovernment that balanced the differenttypes Aristotle had identified

require lifelong learning

PLATO AND ARISTOTLEPlato c 428ndash347 BCAristotle 384ndash322 BC

Plato was from a noble Greek family and had planned a career in

politics However he was so horrified by the death of his teacher

Socrates that he left politics and spent many years traveling and

writing When Plato returned to Athens in 387 BC he founded an

academy where he taught using Socratesrsquo method of questioning His

academy drew bright young students from Athens and other Greek

city-states Plato looked for truth beyond the appearances of

everyday objects and reflected this philosophy in his writing and

teaching He believed the human soul was the connection between

the appearance of things and ideas

Plato and Aristotlemdashtwo of the greatest ancient Greek

philosophersmdashmet as teacher and student at Platorsquos Academy in

Athens Aristotle left his home in Stagira and arrived on the Academyrsquos

doorstep when he was eighteen years old He remained at Platorsquos Academy for

20 years until the death of his teacher Unlike Plato Aristotle did not come from

a noble family His father was the court physician to the king of Macedonia At an early

age Aristotlersquos father introduced him to the topics of medicine and biology and these

became his main interests of study Aristotle sought truth through a systematic scientific

approach He liked to jot down notes and details about different

topicsmdashfrom weather to human behaviormdashand arrange them in

categories He did not trust the sensesrsquo ability to understand the

universeAfter Platorsquos death Aristotle traveled for about 12 years

He also tutored the future Alexander the Great Later in his life he

returned to Athens and opened his own school the Lyceum He

made his school the center for research in every area of

In most places in the ancient world peo-ple did not write history Legends andmyths explained their past Some civiliza-tions kept long lists of rulers and the datesthey were in power but no one tried toexplain the past by studying events Thenin 435 BC a Greek named Herodotus (hih bullRAH bull duh bull tuhs) wrote the history of thePersian Wars

In his book Herodotus tried to separatefact from legend He asked questionsrecorded answers and checked the truthful-ness of his sources Although his historyincludes some errors and uses gods and god-desses to explain some events Western histo-rians consider him the ldquofather of historyrdquo

Many historians consider Thucydides(thoo bullSIH bullduh bull DEEZ) the greatest historian ofthe ancient world Thucydides fought in thePeloponnesian War After he lost a battle hewas sent into exile There he wrote hisHistory of the Peloponnesian War

Unlike Herodotus Thucydides saw warand politics as the activities of humanbeings not gods He also stressed theimportance of having accurate facts

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

The key to Alexanderrsquos courage mayhave been his childhood educationAlexander kept a copy of the Iliad under hispillow Most likely his inspiration wasHomerrsquos warrior-hero Achilles In the endAlexanderrsquos reputation outstripped evenAchillesrsquo and today he is called Alexanderthe Great

Alexander the GreatVillain or Hero

Was Alexander the Great really great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

bull built new cities where others had

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

Among all those mortals who grew so wise that they learned thesecrets of the gods none was more cunning than Daedalus1

He once built for King Minos of Crete a wonderful Labyrinth ofwinding ways so cunningly tangled up and twisted around thatonce inside you could never find your way out again without amagic clue But the kingrsquos favor veered with the wind and one dayhe had his master architect imprisoned in a tower Daedalusmanaged to escape from his cell but it seemed impossible to leavethe island since every ship that came or went was well guarded byorder of the king

At length watching the sea-gulls in the airmdashthe only creaturesthat were sure of libertymdashhe thought of a plan for himself and hisyoung son Icarus2 who was captive with him

Little by little he gathered a store of feathers great and smallHe fastened these together with thread moulded them in with waxand so fashioned two great wings like those of a bird When theywere done Daedalus fitted them to his own shoulders and afterone or two efforts he found that by waving his arms he couldwinnow the air and cleave3 it as a swimmer does the seaHe held himself aloft wavered this way and that with the wind and at last like a great fledgling4 he learned to fly

Without delay he fell to work on a pair of wings for the boyIcarus and taught him carefully how to use them bidding himbeware of rash adventures among the stars ldquoRememberrdquo said thefather ldquonever fly very low or very high for the fogs about the earthwould weigh you down but the blaze of the sun will surely meltyour feathers apart if you go too nearrdquo

For Icarus these cautions went in at one ear and out by theother Who could remember to be careful when he was to fly for thefirst time Are birds careful Not they And not an idea remained inthe boyrsquos head but the one joy of escape

The day came and the fair wind that was to set them free Thefather bird put on his wings and while the light urged them to begone he waited to see that all was well with Icarus for the twocould not fly hand in hand Up they rose the boy after his fatherThe hateful ground of Crete sank beneath them and the countryfolk who caught a glimpse of them when they were high abovethe tree-tops took it for a vision of the godsmdashApollo5

He longed for one draught9 of flight to quench the thirst ofhis captivity he stretched out his arms to the sky and madetoward the highest heavens

Alas for him Warmer and warmer grew the air Thosearms that had seemed to uphold him relaxed His wingswavered drooped He fluttered his young hands vainlymdashhe was fallingmdashand in that terror he remembered The heat of the sun had melted the wax from his wings the feathers were fallingone by one like snowflakes and there was none to help

He fell like a leaf tossed down the wind downdown with one cry that overtook Daedalus far away When he returned and sought high and low for the poor boy he saw nothing but the bird-like feathers afloat on the water and he knew that Icarus was drowned

The nearest island he named Icariain memory of the child but he in heavy griefwent to the temple of Apollo in Sicily and there hung up his wings as an offering Never again did he attempt to fly

He rejected the ideaof democracy as a form of governmentPlato believed that philosopher-kings should rule society

Aristotle taught the idea of the ldquogolden meanrdquo He believed observation and comparison werenecessary to gainknowledge

The importance of public speaking can be seen in political debates between candidates

His methods influenced the way teachers interact with their students

He introduced the idea that govern-ment should be fair and just

His political ideas still shape political ideas today

They developed the art of public speak-ing and debate

He created the Socratic method of teaching

He described his vision of the ideal government in his work the Republic

He wrote over 200 books on philoso-phy and science He divided all govern-ments into threebasic types

He was a critic of the Sophists Socrates believed that there was an absolute right and wrong

Sophists did not believe that gods andgoddesses influenced people They alsorejected the idea of absolute right or wrongThey believed that what was right for oneperson might be wrong for another

The Ideas of Socrates One critic of theSophists was Socrates (SAH bull kruh bull TEEZ)Socrates was an Athenian sculptor whosetrue love was philosophy Socrates left nowritings behind What we know abouthim we have learned from the writings ofhis students

Socrates believed that an absolute truthexisted and that all real knowledge waswithin each person He invented the Socratic method (suh bullKRA bull tihk) of teachingstill used today He asked pointed questionsto force his pupils to use their reason and tosee things for themselves

Some Athenian leaders considered theSocratic method a threat to their power At one time Athens had a tradition of ques-tioning leaders and speaking freelyHowever their defeat in the PeloponnesianWar changed the Athenians They no longertrusted open debate In 399 BC the leadersaccused Socrates of teaching youngAthenians to rebel against the state A juryfound Socrates guilty and sentenced him todeath Socrates could have fled the city but

The Ideas of Plato One of Socratesrsquo stu-dents was Plato (PLAY bull toh) Unlike Socrateswe are able to learn a lot about Plato fromhis writings One work Plato wrote is calledthe Republic It explains his ideas about gov-ernment Based on life in Athens Platodecided that democracy was not a goodsystem of government He did not thinkthat rule by the people produced fair or sen-sible policies To him people could not livegood lives unless they had a just and rea-sonable government

In the Republic Plato described his idealgovernment He divided people into threebasic groups At the top were philosopher-kings who ruled using logic and wisdomWarriors made up the second group Theydefended the state from attack

The third group included the rest of thepeople They were driven by desire not bywisdom like the first group or courage likethe second These people produced thestatersquos food clothing and shelter Plato alsobelieved that men and women should havethe same education and an equal chance tohave the same jobs

Who Was Aristotle Plato established aschool in Athens known as the Academy Hisbest student was Aristotle (AR bulluh bull STAH bull tuhl)Aristotle wrote more than 200 books ontopics ranging from government to theplanets and stars

In 335 BC Aristotle opened his ownschool called the Lyceum At the LyceumAristotle taught his pupils the ldquogoldenmeanrdquo This idea holds that a person shoulddo nothing in excess For example a person

should not eat too little or too much but justenough to stay well

Aristotle also helped to advance scienceHe urged people to use their senses to makeobservations just as scientists today makeobservations Aristotle was the first personto group observations according to their sim-ilarities and differences Then he made gen-eralizations based on the groups of facts

Like Plato Aristotle wrote about gov-ernment He studied and compared thegovernments of 158 different places to findthe best form of government In his bookPolitics Aristotle divided the governmentsinto three types

bull Government by one person such as amonarch (king or queen) or a tyrant

bull Government by a few people whichmight be an aristocracy or an oligarchy

bull Government by many people as in ademocracy

Aristotle noticed that governments runby a few people were usually run by therich He noticed that most democracieswere run by the poor He thought the bestgovernment was a mixture of the two

Aristotlersquos ideas shaped the wayEuropeans and Americans thought aboutgovernment The founders of the UnitedStates Constitution tried to create a mixedgovernment that balanced the differenttypes Aristotle had identified

PLATO AND ARISTOTLEPlato c 428ndash347 BCAristotle 384ndash322 BC

Plato was from a noble Greek family and had planned a career in

politics However he was so horrified by the death of his teacher

Socrates that he left politics and spent many years traveling and

writing When Plato returned to Athens in 387 BC he founded an

academy where he taught using Socratesrsquo method of questioning His

academy drew bright young students from Athens and other Greek

city-states Plato looked for truth beyond the appearances of

everyday objects and reflected this philosophy in his writing and

teaching He believed the human soul was the connection between

the appearance of things and ideas

Plato and Aristotlemdashtwo of the greatest ancient Greek

philosophersmdashmet as teacher and student at Platorsquos Academy in

Athens Aristotle left his home in Stagira and arrived on the Academyrsquos

doorstep when he was eighteen years old He remained at Platorsquos Academy for

20 years until the death of his teacher Unlike Plato Aristotle did not come from

a noble family His father was the court physician to the king of Macedonia At an early

age Aristotlersquos father introduced him to the topics of medicine and biology and these

became his main interests of study Aristotle sought truth through a systematic scientific

approach He liked to jot down notes and details about different

topicsmdashfrom weather to human behaviormdashand arrange them in

categories He did not trust the sensesrsquo ability to understand the

universeAfter Platorsquos death Aristotle traveled for about 12 years

He also tutored the future Alexander the Great Later in his life he

returned to Athens and opened his own school the Lyceum He

made his school the center for research in every area of

find out what Greek historians thought was important

In most places in the ancient world peo-ple did not write history Legends andmyths explained their past Some civiliza-tions kept long lists of rulers and the datesthey were in power but no one tried toexplain the past by studying events Thenin 435 BC a Greek named Herodotus (hih bullRAH bull duh bull tuhs) wrote the history of thePersian Wars

In his book Herodotus tried to separatefact from legend He asked questionsrecorded answers and checked the truthful-ness of his sources Although his historyincludes some errors and uses gods and god-desses to explain some events Western histo-rians consider him the ldquofather of historyrdquo

Many historians consider Thucydides(thoo bullSIH bullduh bull DEEZ) the greatest historian ofthe ancient world Thucydides fought in thePeloponnesian War After he lost a battle hewas sent into exile There he wrote hisHistory of the Peloponnesian War

Unlike Herodotus Thucydides saw warand politics as the activities of humanbeings not gods He also stressed theimportance of having accurate facts

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

The key to Alexanderrsquos courage mayhave been his childhood educationAlexander kept a copy of the Iliad under hispillow Most likely his inspiration wasHomerrsquos warrior-hero Achilles In the endAlexanderrsquos reputation outstripped evenAchillesrsquo and today he is called Alexanderthe Great

Alexander the GreatVillain or Hero

Was Alexander the Great really great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

echoed the story until it

went round the whole

worldrdquomdashMichael Wood

Other historians consider Alexander

the Great to be a hero They claim he

brought progress order and culture

to each new land he conquered In

support of him they say Alexander

bull tried to promote learning

bull visited all of his wounded men

after each battle

bull spared the lives of the queen and

princess of Persia

bull built new cities where others had

been destroyed

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

Greek Culture SpreadsHellenistic cities became centers of

learning and culture

Reading Focus Imagine you are a leading citizen in a

new city How would you make it the best city possible

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

scientists from the Hellenistic Era

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

He longed for one draught9 of flight to quench the thirst ofhis captivity he stretched out his arms to the sky and madetoward the highest heavens

Alas for him Warmer and warmer grew the air Thosearms that had seemed to uphold him relaxed His wingswavered drooped He fluttered his young hands vainlymdashhe was fallingmdashand in that terror he remembered The heat of the sun had melted the wax from his wings the feathers were fallingone by one like snowflakes and there was none to help

He fell like a leaf tossed down the wind downdown with one cry that overtook Daedalus far away When he returned and sought high and low for the poor boy he saw nothing but the bird-like feathers afloat on the water and he knew that Icarus was drowned

Sophists like Libanius(above) thought that people should use knowledge to improvethemselves They believed that there is no absolute right or wrong

He rejected the ideaof democracy as a form of governmentPlato believed that philosopher-kings should rule society

Aristotle taught the idea of the ldquogolden meanrdquo He believed observation and comparison werenecessary to gainknowledge

The importance of public speaking can be seen in political debates between candidates

His methods influenced the way teachers interact with their students

He introduced the idea that govern-ment should be fair and just

His political ideas still shape political ideas today

They developed the art of public speak-ing and debate

He created the Socratic method of teaching

He described his vision of the ideal government in his work the Republic

He wrote over 200 books on philoso-phy and science He divided all govern-ments into threebasic types

He was a critic of the Sophists Socrates believed that there was an absolute right and wrong

city and made a living by teaching othersThey believed students should use theirtime to improve themselves Many taughttheir students how to win an argument andmake good political speeches

Sophists did not believe that gods andgoddesses influenced people They alsorejected the idea of absolute right or wrongThey believed that what was right for oneperson might be wrong for another

The Ideas of Socrates One critic of theSophists was Socrates (SAH bull kruh bull TEEZ)Socrates was an Athenian sculptor whosetrue love was philosophy Socrates left nowritings behind What we know abouthim we have learned from the writings ofhis students

Socrates believed that an absolute truthexisted and that all real knowledge waswithin each person He invented the Socratic method (suh bullKRA bull tihk) of teachingstill used today He asked pointed questionsto force his pupils to use their reason and tosee things for themselves

Some Athenian leaders considered theSocratic method a threat to their power At one time Athens had a tradition of ques-tioning leaders and speaking freelyHowever their defeat in the PeloponnesianWar changed the Athenians They no longertrusted open debate In 399 BC the leadersaccused Socrates of teaching youngAthenians to rebel against the state A juryfound Socrates guilty and sentenced him todeath Socrates could have fled the city but

he chose to remain He argued that he hadlived under the cityrsquos laws so he had toobey them He then drank poison to carryout the juryrsquos sentence

The Ideas of Plato One of Socratesrsquo stu-dents was Plato (PLAY bull toh) Unlike Socrateswe are able to learn a lot about Plato fromhis writings One work Plato wrote is calledthe Republic It explains his ideas about gov-ernment Based on life in Athens Platodecided that democracy was not a goodsystem of government He did not thinkthat rule by the people produced fair or sen-sible policies To him people could not livegood lives unless they had a just and rea-sonable government

In the Republic Plato described his idealgovernment He divided people into threebasic groups At the top were philosopher-kings who ruled using logic and wisdomWarriors made up the second group Theydefended the state from attack

The third group included the rest of thepeople They were driven by desire not bywisdom like the first group or courage likethe second These people produced thestatersquos food clothing and shelter Plato alsobelieved that men and women should havethe same education and an equal chance tohave the same jobs

Who Was Aristotle Plato established aschool in Athens known as the Academy Hisbest student was Aristotle (AR bulluh bull STAH bull tuhl)Aristotle wrote more than 200 books ontopics ranging from government to theplanets and stars

In 335 BC Aristotle opened his ownschool called the Lyceum At the LyceumAristotle taught his pupils the ldquogoldenmeanrdquo This idea holds that a person shoulddo nothing in excess For example a person

should not eat too little or too much but justenough to stay well

Aristotle also helped to advance scienceHe urged people to use their senses to makeobservations just as scientists today makeobservations Aristotle was the first personto group observations according to their sim-ilarities and differences Then he made gen-eralizations based on the groups of facts

Like Plato Aristotle wrote about gov-ernment He studied and compared thegovernments of 158 different places to findthe best form of government In his bookPolitics Aristotle divided the governmentsinto three types

bull Government by one person such as amonarch (king or queen) or a tyrant

bull Government by a few people whichmight be an aristocracy or an oligarchy

bull Government by many people as in ademocracy

Aristotle noticed that governments runby a few people were usually run by therich He noticed that most democracieswere run by the poor He thought the bestgovernment was a mixture of the two

Aristotlersquos ideas shaped the wayEuropeans and Americans thought aboutgovernment The founders of the UnitedStates Constitution tried to create a mixedgovernment that balanced the differenttypes Aristotle had identified

require lifelong learning

PLATO AND ARISTOTLEPlato c 428ndash347 BCAristotle 384ndash322 BC

Plato was from a noble Greek family and had planned a career in

politics However he was so horrified by the death of his teacher

Socrates that he left politics and spent many years traveling and

writing When Plato returned to Athens in 387 BC he founded an

academy where he taught using Socratesrsquo method of questioning His

academy drew bright young students from Athens and other Greek

city-states Plato looked for truth beyond the appearances of

everyday objects and reflected this philosophy in his writing and

teaching He believed the human soul was the connection between

the appearance of things and ideas

Plato and Aristotlemdashtwo of the greatest ancient Greek

philosophersmdashmet as teacher and student at Platorsquos Academy in

Athens Aristotle left his home in Stagira and arrived on the Academyrsquos

doorstep when he was eighteen years old He remained at Platorsquos Academy for

20 years until the death of his teacher Unlike Plato Aristotle did not come from

a noble family His father was the court physician to the king of Macedonia At an early

age Aristotlersquos father introduced him to the topics of medicine and biology and these

became his main interests of study Aristotle sought truth through a systematic scientific

approach He liked to jot down notes and details about different

topicsmdashfrom weather to human behaviormdashand arrange them in

categories He did not trust the sensesrsquo ability to understand the

universeAfter Platorsquos death Aristotle traveled for about 12 years

He also tutored the future Alexander the Great Later in his life he

returned to Athens and opened his own school the Lyceum He

made his school the center for research in every area of

knowledge known to the Greeks

find out what Greek historians thought was important

In most places in the ancient world peo-ple did not write history Legends andmyths explained their past Some civiliza-tions kept long lists of rulers and the datesthey were in power but no one tried toexplain the past by studying events Thenin 435 BC a Greek named Herodotus (hih bullRAH bull duh bull tuhs) wrote the history of thePersian Wars

In his book Herodotus tried to separatefact from legend He asked questionsrecorded answers and checked the truthful-ness of his sources Although his historyincludes some errors and uses gods and god-desses to explain some events Western histo-rians consider him the ldquofather of historyrdquo

Many historians consider Thucydides(thoo bullSIH bullduh bull DEEZ) the greatest historian ofthe ancient world Thucydides fought in thePeloponnesian War After he lost a battle hewas sent into exile There he wrote hisHistory of the Peloponnesian War

Unlike Herodotus Thucydides saw warand politics as the activities of humanbeings not gods He also stressed theimportance of having accurate facts

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

Alexander the GreatVillain or Hero

Was Alexander the Great really great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

Other historians consider Alexander

the Great to be a hero They claim he

to each new land he conquered In

support of him they say Alexander

bull tried to promote learning

bull visited all of his wounded men

after each battle

bull spared the lives of the queen and

princess of Persia

bull built new cities where others had

been destroyed

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

Greek Culture SpreadsHellenistic cities became centers of

learning and culture

Reading Focus Imagine you are a leading citizen in a

new city How would you make it the best city possible

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Explain How did theHellenistic kingdoms spread Greek culture

that tumbles and splashes down from the rocks

If the Muses get the ewe for their prize

yoursquoll win the [baby] lambBut if they choose

the lamb yoursquoll carry away the ewerdquomdashTheocritus ldquoFirst Idyllrdquo

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

Contrast What were thedifferences between Epicureanism and Stoicism

out about the person who created geometry and other

scientists from the Hellenistic Era

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

He longed for one draught9 of flight to quench the thirst ofhis captivity he stretched out his arms to the sky and madetoward the highest heavens

Alas for him Warmer and warmer grew the air Thosearms that had seemed to uphold him relaxed His wingswavered drooped He fluttered his young hands vainlymdashhe was fallingmdashand in that terror he remembered The heat of the sun had melted the wax from his wings the feathers were fallingone by one like snowflakes and there was none to help

He fell like a leaf tossed down the wind downdown with one cry that overtook Daedalus far away When he returned and sought high and low for the poor boy he saw nothing but the bird-like feathers afloat on the water and he knew that Icarus was drowned

The nearest island he named Icariain memory of the child but he in heavy griefwent to the temple of Apollo in Sicily and there hung up his wings as an offering Never again did he attempt to fly

Sophists like Libanius(above) thought that people should use knowledge to improvethemselves They believed that there is no absolute right or wrong

He rejected the ideaof democracy as a form of governmentPlato believed that philosopher-kings should rule society

Aristotle taught the idea of the ldquogolden meanrdquo He believed observation and comparison werenecessary to gainknowledge

The importance of public speaking can be seen in political debates between candidates

His methods influenced the way teachers interact with their students

He introduced the idea that govern-ment should be fair and just

His political ideas still shape political ideas today

They developed the art of public speak-ing and debate

He created the Socratic method of teaching

He described his vision of the ideal government in his work the Republic

He wrote over 200 books on philoso-phy and science He divided all govern-ments into threebasic types

He was a critic of the Sophists Socrates believed that there was an absolute right and wrong

Sophists Socrates Plato Aristotle

city and made a living by teaching othersThey believed students should use theirtime to improve themselves Many taughttheir students how to win an argument andmake good political speeches

Sophists did not believe that gods andgoddesses influenced people They alsorejected the idea of absolute right or wrongThey believed that what was right for oneperson might be wrong for another

The Ideas of Socrates One critic of theSophists was Socrates (SAH bull kruh bull TEEZ)Socrates was an Athenian sculptor whosetrue love was philosophy Socrates left nowritings behind What we know abouthim we have learned from the writings ofhis students

Socrates believed that an absolute truthexisted and that all real knowledge waswithin each person He invented the Socratic method (suh bullKRA bull tihk) of teachingstill used today He asked pointed questionsto force his pupils to use their reason and tosee things for themselves

Some Athenian leaders considered theSocratic method a threat to their power At one time Athens had a tradition of ques-tioning leaders and speaking freelyHowever their defeat in the PeloponnesianWar changed the Athenians They no longertrusted open debate In 399 BC the leadersaccused Socrates of teaching youngAthenians to rebel against the state A juryfound Socrates guilty and sentenced him todeath Socrates could have fled the city but

he chose to remain He argued that he hadlived under the cityrsquos laws so he had toobey them He then drank poison to carryout the juryrsquos sentence

The Ideas of Plato One of Socratesrsquo stu-dents was Plato (PLAY bull toh) Unlike Socrateswe are able to learn a lot about Plato fromhis writings One work Plato wrote is calledthe Republic It explains his ideas about gov-ernment Based on life in Athens Platodecided that democracy was not a goodsystem of government He did not thinkthat rule by the people produced fair or sen-sible policies To him people could not livegood lives unless they had a just and rea-sonable government

In the Republic Plato described his idealgovernment He divided people into threebasic groups At the top were philosopher-kings who ruled using logic and wisdomWarriors made up the second group Theydefended the state from attack

The third group included the rest of thepeople They were driven by desire not bywisdom like the first group or courage likethe second These people produced thestatersquos food clothing and shelter Plato alsobelieved that men and women should havethe same education and an equal chance tohave the same jobs

Who Was Aristotle Plato established aschool in Athens known as the Academy Hisbest student was Aristotle (AR bulluh bull STAH bull tuhl)Aristotle wrote more than 200 books ontopics ranging from government to theplanets and stars

In 335 BC Aristotle opened his ownschool called the Lyceum At the LyceumAristotle taught his pupils the ldquogoldenmeanrdquo This idea holds that a person shoulddo nothing in excess For example a person

should not eat too little or too much but justenough to stay well

Aristotle also helped to advance scienceHe urged people to use their senses to makeobservations just as scientists today makeobservations Aristotle was the first personto group observations according to their sim-ilarities and differences Then he made gen-eralizations based on the groups of facts

Like Plato Aristotle wrote about gov-ernment He studied and compared thegovernments of 158 different places to findthe best form of government In his bookPolitics Aristotle divided the governmentsinto three types

bull Government by one person such as amonarch (king or queen) or a tyrant

bull Government by a few people whichmight be an aristocracy or an oligarchy

bull Government by many people as in ademocracy

Aristotle noticed that governments runby a few people were usually run by therich He noticed that most democracieswere run by the poor He thought the bestgovernment was a mixture of the two

Aristotlersquos ideas shaped the wayEuropeans and Americans thought aboutgovernment The founders of the UnitedStates Constitution tried to create a mixedgovernment that balanced the differenttypes Aristotle had identified

What present-day careers or subjects of study

require lifelong learning

PLATO AND ARISTOTLEPlato c 428ndash347 BCAristotle 384ndash322 BC

Plato was from a noble Greek family and had planned a career in

politics However he was so horrified by the death of his teacher

Socrates that he left politics and spent many years traveling and

writing When Plato returned to Athens in 387 BC he founded an

academy where he taught using Socratesrsquo method of questioning His

academy drew bright young students from Athens and other Greek

city-states Plato looked for truth beyond the appearances of

everyday objects and reflected this philosophy in his writing and

teaching He believed the human soul was the connection between

the appearance of things and ideas

Plato and Aristotlemdashtwo of the greatest ancient Greek

philosophersmdashmet as teacher and student at Platorsquos Academy in

Athens Aristotle left his home in Stagira and arrived on the Academyrsquos

doorstep when he was eighteen years old He remained at Platorsquos Academy for

20 years until the death of his teacher Unlike Plato Aristotle did not come from

a noble family His father was the court physician to the king of Macedonia At an early

age Aristotlersquos father introduced him to the topics of medicine and biology and these

became his main interests of study Aristotle sought truth through a systematic scientific

approach He liked to jot down notes and details about different

topicsmdashfrom weather to human behaviormdashand arrange them in

categories He did not trust the sensesrsquo ability to understand the

universeAfter Platorsquos death Aristotle traveled for about 12 years

He also tutored the future Alexander the Great Later in his life he

returned to Athens and opened his own school the Lyceum He

made his school the center for research in every area of

knowledge known to the Greeks

Greek HistoriansGreeks wrote the first real histories in

Western civilization

Reading Focus Why is history important Read on to

find out what Greek historians thought was important

In most places in the ancient world peo-ple did not write history Legends andmyths explained their past Some civiliza-tions kept long lists of rulers and the datesthey were in power but no one tried toexplain the past by studying events Thenin 435 BC a Greek named Herodotus (hih bullRAH bull duh bull tuhs) wrote the history of thePersian Wars

In his book Herodotus tried to separatefact from legend He asked questionsrecorded answers and checked the truthful-ness of his sources Although his historyincludes some errors and uses gods and god-desses to explain some events Western histo-rians consider him the ldquofather of historyrdquo

Many historians consider Thucydides(thoo bullSIH bullduh bull DEEZ) the greatest historian ofthe ancient world Thucydides fought in thePeloponnesian War After he lost a battle hewas sent into exile There he wrote hisHistory of the Peloponnesian War

Unlike Herodotus Thucydides saw warand politics as the activities of humanbeings not gods He also stressed theimportance of having accurate facts

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

The key to Alexanderrsquos courage mayhave been his childhood educationAlexander kept a copy of the Iliad under hispillow Most likely his inspiration wasHomerrsquos warrior-hero Achilles In the endAlexanderrsquos reputation outstripped evenAchillesrsquo and today he is called Alexanderthe Great

Alexander the GreatVillain or Hero

Was Alexander the Great really great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

echoed the story until it

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

Sophists like Libanius(above) thought that people should use knowledge to improvethemselves They believed that there is no absolute right or wrong

He rejected the ideaof democracy as a form of governmentPlato believed that philosopher-kings should rule society

Aristotle taught the idea of the ldquogolden meanrdquo He believed observation and comparison werenecessary to gainknowledge

The importance of public speaking can be seen in political debates between candidates

His methods influenced the way teachers interact with their students

He introduced the idea that govern-ment should be fair and just

His political ideas still shape political ideas today

They developed the art of public speak-ing and debate

He created the Socratic method of teaching

He described his vision of the ideal government in his work the Republic

He wrote over 200 books on philoso-phy and science He divided all govern-ments into threebasic types

He was a critic of the Sophists Socrates believed that there was an absolute right and wrong

Sophists did not believe that gods andgoddesses influenced people They alsorejected the idea of absolute right or wrongThey believed that what was right for oneperson might be wrong for another

The Ideas of Socrates One critic of theSophists was Socrates (SAH bull kruh bull TEEZ)Socrates was an Athenian sculptor whosetrue love was philosophy Socrates left nowritings behind What we know abouthim we have learned from the writings ofhis students

Socrates believed that an absolute truthexisted and that all real knowledge waswithin each person He invented the Socratic method (suh bullKRA bull tihk) of teachingstill used today He asked pointed questionsto force his pupils to use their reason and tosee things for themselves

Some Athenian leaders considered theSocratic method a threat to their power At one time Athens had a tradition of ques-tioning leaders and speaking freelyHowever their defeat in the PeloponnesianWar changed the Athenians They no longertrusted open debate In 399 BC the leadersaccused Socrates of teaching youngAthenians to rebel against the state A juryfound Socrates guilty and sentenced him todeath Socrates could have fled the city but

he chose to remain He argued that he hadlived under the cityrsquos laws so he had toobey them He then drank poison to carryout the juryrsquos sentence

The Ideas of Plato One of Socratesrsquo stu-dents was Plato (PLAY bull toh) Unlike Socrateswe are able to learn a lot about Plato fromhis writings One work Plato wrote is calledthe Republic It explains his ideas about gov-ernment Based on life in Athens Platodecided that democracy was not a goodsystem of government He did not thinkthat rule by the people produced fair or sen-sible policies To him people could not livegood lives unless they had a just and rea-sonable government

In the Republic Plato described his idealgovernment He divided people into threebasic groups At the top were philosopher-kings who ruled using logic and wisdomWarriors made up the second group Theydefended the state from attack

The third group included the rest of thepeople They were driven by desire not bywisdom like the first group or courage likethe second These people produced thestatersquos food clothing and shelter Plato alsobelieved that men and women should havethe same education and an equal chance tohave the same jobs

Who Was Aristotle Plato established aschool in Athens known as the Academy Hisbest student was Aristotle (AR bulluh bull STAH bull tuhl)Aristotle wrote more than 200 books ontopics ranging from government to theplanets and stars

In 335 BC Aristotle opened his ownschool called the Lyceum At the LyceumAristotle taught his pupils the ldquogoldenmeanrdquo This idea holds that a person shoulddo nothing in excess For example a person

should not eat too little or too much but justenough to stay well

Aristotle also helped to advance scienceHe urged people to use their senses to makeobservations just as scientists today makeobservations Aristotle was the first personto group observations according to their sim-ilarities and differences Then he made gen-eralizations based on the groups of facts

Like Plato Aristotle wrote about gov-ernment He studied and compared thegovernments of 158 different places to findthe best form of government In his bookPolitics Aristotle divided the governmentsinto three types

bull Government by one person such as amonarch (king or queen) or a tyrant

bull Government by a few people whichmight be an aristocracy or an oligarchy

bull Government by many people as in ademocracy

Aristotle noticed that governments runby a few people were usually run by therich He noticed that most democracieswere run by the poor He thought the bestgovernment was a mixture of the two

Aristotlersquos ideas shaped the wayEuropeans and Americans thought aboutgovernment The founders of the UnitedStates Constitution tried to create a mixedgovernment that balanced the differenttypes Aristotle had identified

require lifelong learning

PLATO AND ARISTOTLEPlato c 428ndash347 BCAristotle 384ndash322 BC

Plato was from a noble Greek family and had planned a career in

politics However he was so horrified by the death of his teacher

Socrates that he left politics and spent many years traveling and

writing When Plato returned to Athens in 387 BC he founded an

academy where he taught using Socratesrsquo method of questioning His

academy drew bright young students from Athens and other Greek

city-states Plato looked for truth beyond the appearances of

everyday objects and reflected this philosophy in his writing and

teaching He believed the human soul was the connection between

the appearance of things and ideas

Plato and Aristotlemdashtwo of the greatest ancient Greek

philosophersmdashmet as teacher and student at Platorsquos Academy in

Athens Aristotle left his home in Stagira and arrived on the Academyrsquos

doorstep when he was eighteen years old He remained at Platorsquos Academy for

20 years until the death of his teacher Unlike Plato Aristotle did not come from

a noble family His father was the court physician to the king of Macedonia At an early

age Aristotlersquos father introduced him to the topics of medicine and biology and these

became his main interests of study Aristotle sought truth through a systematic scientific

approach He liked to jot down notes and details about different

topicsmdashfrom weather to human behaviormdashand arrange them in

categories He did not trust the sensesrsquo ability to understand the

universeAfter Platorsquos death Aristotle traveled for about 12 years

He also tutored the future Alexander the Great Later in his life he

returned to Athens and opened his own school the Lyceum He

made his school the center for research in every area of

find out what Greek historians thought was important

In most places in the ancient world peo-ple did not write history Legends andmyths explained their past Some civiliza-tions kept long lists of rulers and the datesthey were in power but no one tried toexplain the past by studying events Thenin 435 BC a Greek named Herodotus (hih bullRAH bull duh bull tuhs) wrote the history of thePersian Wars

In his book Herodotus tried to separatefact from legend He asked questionsrecorded answers and checked the truthful-ness of his sources Although his historyincludes some errors and uses gods and god-desses to explain some events Western histo-rians consider him the ldquofather of historyrdquo

Many historians consider Thucydides(thoo bullSIH bullduh bull DEEZ) the greatest historian ofthe ancient world Thucydides fought in thePeloponnesian War After he lost a battle hewas sent into exile There he wrote hisHistory of the Peloponnesian War

Unlike Herodotus Thucydides saw warand politics as the activities of humanbeings not gods He also stressed theimportance of having accurate facts

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

The key to Alexanderrsquos courage mayhave been his childhood educationAlexander kept a copy of the Iliad under hispillow Most likely his inspiration wasHomerrsquos warrior-hero Achilles In the endAlexanderrsquos reputation outstripped evenAchillesrsquo and today he is called Alexanderthe Great

Alexander the GreatVillain or Hero

Was Alexander the Great really great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

echoed the story until it

went round the whole

worldrdquomdashMichael Wood

Other historians consider Alexander

the Great to be a hero They claim he

brought progress order and culture

to each new land he conquered In

support of him they say Alexander

bull tried to promote learning

bull visited all of his wounded men

after each battle

bull spared the lives of the queen and

princess of Persia

bull built new cities where others had

been destroyed

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

Greek Culture SpreadsHellenistic cities became centers of

learning and culture

Reading Focus Imagine you are a leading citizen in a

new city How would you make it the best city possible

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

scientists from the Hellenistic Era

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

Sophists Socrates Plato Aristotle

city and made a living by teaching othersThey believed students should use theirtime to improve themselves Many taughttheir students how to win an argument andmake good political speeches

Sophists did not believe that gods andgoddesses influenced people They alsorejected the idea of absolute right or wrongThey believed that what was right for oneperson might be wrong for another

The Ideas of Socrates One critic of theSophists was Socrates (SAH bull kruh bull TEEZ)Socrates was an Athenian sculptor whosetrue love was philosophy Socrates left nowritings behind What we know abouthim we have learned from the writings ofhis students

Socrates believed that an absolute truthexisted and that all real knowledge waswithin each person He invented the Socratic method (suh bullKRA bull tihk) of teachingstill used today He asked pointed questionsto force his pupils to use their reason and tosee things for themselves

Some Athenian leaders considered theSocratic method a threat to their power At one time Athens had a tradition of ques-tioning leaders and speaking freelyHowever their defeat in the PeloponnesianWar changed the Athenians They no longertrusted open debate In 399 BC the leadersaccused Socrates of teaching youngAthenians to rebel against the state A juryfound Socrates guilty and sentenced him todeath Socrates could have fled the city but

he chose to remain He argued that he hadlived under the cityrsquos laws so he had toobey them He then drank poison to carryout the juryrsquos sentence

The Ideas of Plato One of Socratesrsquo stu-dents was Plato (PLAY bull toh) Unlike Socrateswe are able to learn a lot about Plato fromhis writings One work Plato wrote is calledthe Republic It explains his ideas about gov-ernment Based on life in Athens Platodecided that democracy was not a goodsystem of government He did not thinkthat rule by the people produced fair or sen-sible policies To him people could not livegood lives unless they had a just and rea-sonable government

In the Republic Plato described his idealgovernment He divided people into threebasic groups At the top were philosopher-kings who ruled using logic and wisdomWarriors made up the second group Theydefended the state from attack

The third group included the rest of thepeople They were driven by desire not bywisdom like the first group or courage likethe second These people produced thestatersquos food clothing and shelter Plato alsobelieved that men and women should havethe same education and an equal chance tohave the same jobs

Who Was Aristotle Plato established aschool in Athens known as the Academy Hisbest student was Aristotle (AR bulluh bull STAH bull tuhl)Aristotle wrote more than 200 books ontopics ranging from government to theplanets and stars

In 335 BC Aristotle opened his ownschool called the Lyceum At the LyceumAristotle taught his pupils the ldquogoldenmeanrdquo This idea holds that a person shoulddo nothing in excess For example a person

should not eat too little or too much but justenough to stay well

Aristotle also helped to advance scienceHe urged people to use their senses to makeobservations just as scientists today makeobservations Aristotle was the first personto group observations according to their sim-ilarities and differences Then he made gen-eralizations based on the groups of facts

Like Plato Aristotle wrote about gov-ernment He studied and compared thegovernments of 158 different places to findthe best form of government In his bookPolitics Aristotle divided the governmentsinto three types

bull Government by one person such as amonarch (king or queen) or a tyrant

bull Government by a few people whichmight be an aristocracy or an oligarchy

bull Government by many people as in ademocracy

Aristotle noticed that governments runby a few people were usually run by therich He noticed that most democracieswere run by the poor He thought the bestgovernment was a mixture of the two

Aristotlersquos ideas shaped the wayEuropeans and Americans thought aboutgovernment The founders of the UnitedStates Constitution tried to create a mixedgovernment that balanced the differenttypes Aristotle had identified

Contrast How didAristotlersquos idea of government differ from Platorsquos

Plato and Aristotlemdashtwo of the greatest ancient Greek

philosophersmdashmet as teacher and student at Platorsquos Academy in

Athens Aristotle left his home in Stagira and arrived on the Academyrsquos

doorstep when he was eighteen years old He remained at Platorsquos Academy for

20 years until the death of his teacher Unlike Plato Aristotle did not come from

a noble family His father was the court physician to the king of Macedonia At an early

age Aristotlersquos father introduced him to the topics of medicine and biology and these

became his main interests of study Aristotle sought truth through a systematic scientific

approach He liked to jot down notes and details about different

topicsmdashfrom weather to human behaviormdashand arrange them in

categories He did not trust the sensesrsquo ability to understand the

universeAfter Platorsquos death Aristotle traveled for about 12 years

He also tutored the future Alexander the Great Later in his life he

returned to Athens and opened his own school the Lyceum He

made his school the center for research in every area of

knowledge known to the Greeks

Reading Focus Why is history important Read on to

find out what Greek historians thought was important

In most places in the ancient world peo-ple did not write history Legends andmyths explained their past Some civiliza-tions kept long lists of rulers and the datesthey were in power but no one tried toexplain the past by studying events Thenin 435 BC a Greek named Herodotus (hih bullRAH bull duh bull tuhs) wrote the history of thePersian Wars

In his book Herodotus tried to separatefact from legend He asked questionsrecorded answers and checked the truthful-ness of his sources Although his historyincludes some errors and uses gods and god-desses to explain some events Western histo-rians consider him the ldquofather of historyrdquo

Many historians consider Thucydides(thoo bullSIH bullduh bull DEEZ) the greatest historian ofthe ancient world Thucydides fought in thePeloponnesian War After he lost a battle hewas sent into exile There he wrote hisHistory of the Peloponnesian War

Unlike Herodotus Thucydides saw warand politics as the activities of humanbeings not gods He also stressed theimportance of having accurate facts

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

The key to Alexanderrsquos courage mayhave been his childhood educationAlexander kept a copy of the Iliad under hispillow Most likely his inspiration wasHomerrsquos warrior-hero Achilles In the endAlexanderrsquos reputation outstripped evenAchillesrsquo and today he is called Alexanderthe Great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

scientists from the Hellenistic Era

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

Influence on Today

Sophists like Libanius(above) thought that people should use knowledge to improvethemselves They believed that there is no absolute right or wrong

He rejected the ideaof democracy as a form of governmentPlato believed that philosopher-kings should rule society

Aristotle taught the idea of the ldquogolden meanrdquo He believed observation and comparison werenecessary to gainknowledge

The importance of public speaking can be seen in political debates between candidates

His methods influenced the way teachers interact with their students

He introduced the idea that govern-ment should be fair and just

His political ideas still shape political ideas today

They developed the art of public speak-ing and debate

He created the Socratic method of teaching

He described his vision of the ideal government in his work the Republic

He wrote over 200 books on philoso-phy and science He divided all govern-ments into threebasic types

He was a critic of the Sophists Socrates believed that there was an absolute right and wrong

Sophists Socrates Plato Aristotle

city and made a living by teaching othersThey believed students should use theirtime to improve themselves Many taughttheir students how to win an argument andmake good political speeches

Sophists did not believe that gods andgoddesses influenced people They alsorejected the idea of absolute right or wrongThey believed that what was right for oneperson might be wrong for another

The Ideas of Socrates One critic of theSophists was Socrates (SAH bull kruh bull TEEZ)Socrates was an Athenian sculptor whosetrue love was philosophy Socrates left nowritings behind What we know abouthim we have learned from the writings ofhis students

Socrates believed that an absolute truthexisted and that all real knowledge waswithin each person He invented the Socratic method (suh bullKRA bull tihk) of teachingstill used today He asked pointed questionsto force his pupils to use their reason and tosee things for themselves

Some Athenian leaders considered theSocratic method a threat to their power At one time Athens had a tradition of ques-tioning leaders and speaking freelyHowever their defeat in the PeloponnesianWar changed the Athenians They no longertrusted open debate In 399 BC the leadersaccused Socrates of teaching youngAthenians to rebel against the state A juryfound Socrates guilty and sentenced him todeath Socrates could have fled the city but

he chose to remain He argued that he hadlived under the cityrsquos laws so he had toobey them He then drank poison to carryout the juryrsquos sentence

The Ideas of Plato One of Socratesrsquo stu-dents was Plato (PLAY bull toh) Unlike Socrateswe are able to learn a lot about Plato fromhis writings One work Plato wrote is calledthe Republic It explains his ideas about gov-ernment Based on life in Athens Platodecided that democracy was not a goodsystem of government He did not thinkthat rule by the people produced fair or sen-sible policies To him people could not livegood lives unless they had a just and rea-sonable government

In the Republic Plato described his idealgovernment He divided people into threebasic groups At the top were philosopher-kings who ruled using logic and wisdomWarriors made up the second group Theydefended the state from attack

The third group included the rest of thepeople They were driven by desire not bywisdom like the first group or courage likethe second These people produced thestatersquos food clothing and shelter Plato alsobelieved that men and women should havethe same education and an equal chance tohave the same jobs

Who Was Aristotle Plato established aschool in Athens known as the Academy Hisbest student was Aristotle (AR bulluh bull STAH bull tuhl)Aristotle wrote more than 200 books ontopics ranging from government to theplanets and stars

In 335 BC Aristotle opened his ownschool called the Lyceum At the LyceumAristotle taught his pupils the ldquogoldenmeanrdquo This idea holds that a person shoulddo nothing in excess For example a person

should not eat too little or too much but justenough to stay well

Aristotle also helped to advance scienceHe urged people to use their senses to makeobservations just as scientists today makeobservations Aristotle was the first personto group observations according to their sim-ilarities and differences Then he made gen-eralizations based on the groups of facts

Like Plato Aristotle wrote about gov-ernment He studied and compared thegovernments of 158 different places to findthe best form of government In his bookPolitics Aristotle divided the governmentsinto three types

bull Government by one person such as amonarch (king or queen) or a tyrant

bull Government by a few people whichmight be an aristocracy or an oligarchy

bull Government by many people as in ademocracy

Aristotle noticed that governments runby a few people were usually run by therich He noticed that most democracieswere run by the poor He thought the bestgovernment was a mixture of the two

Aristotlersquos ideas shaped the wayEuropeans and Americans thought aboutgovernment The founders of the UnitedStates Constitution tried to create a mixedgovernment that balanced the differenttypes Aristotle had identified

Contrast How didAristotlersquos idea of government differ from Platorsquos

What present-day careers or subjects of study

require lifelong learning

PLATO AND ARISTOTLEPlato c 428ndash347 BCAristotle 384ndash322 BC

Plato was from a noble Greek family and had planned a career in

politics However he was so horrified by the death of his teacher

Socrates that he left politics and spent many years traveling and

writing When Plato returned to Athens in 387 BC he founded an

academy where he taught using Socratesrsquo method of questioning His

academy drew bright young students from Athens and other Greek

city-states Plato looked for truth beyond the appearances of

everyday objects and reflected this philosophy in his writing and

teaching He believed the human soul was the connection between

the appearance of things and ideas

Plato and Aristotlemdashtwo of the greatest ancient Greek

philosophersmdashmet as teacher and student at Platorsquos Academy in

Athens Aristotle left his home in Stagira and arrived on the Academyrsquos

doorstep when he was eighteen years old He remained at Platorsquos Academy for

20 years until the death of his teacher Unlike Plato Aristotle did not come from

a noble family His father was the court physician to the king of Macedonia At an early

age Aristotlersquos father introduced him to the topics of medicine and biology and these

became his main interests of study Aristotle sought truth through a systematic scientific

approach He liked to jot down notes and details about different

topicsmdashfrom weather to human behaviormdashand arrange them in

categories He did not trust the sensesrsquo ability to understand the

universeAfter Platorsquos death Aristotle traveled for about 12 years

He also tutored the future Alexander the Great Later in his life he

returned to Athens and opened his own school the Lyceum He

made his school the center for research in every area of

knowledge known to the Greeks

Reading Focus Why is history important Read on to

find out what Greek historians thought was important

In most places in the ancient world peo-ple did not write history Legends andmyths explained their past Some civiliza-tions kept long lists of rulers and the datesthey were in power but no one tried toexplain the past by studying events Thenin 435 BC a Greek named Herodotus (hih bullRAH bull duh bull tuhs) wrote the history of thePersian Wars

In his book Herodotus tried to separatefact from legend He asked questionsrecorded answers and checked the truthful-ness of his sources Although his historyincludes some errors and uses gods and god-desses to explain some events Western histo-rians consider him the ldquofather of historyrdquo

Many historians consider Thucydides(thoo bullSIH bullduh bull DEEZ) the greatest historian ofthe ancient world Thucydides fought in thePeloponnesian War After he lost a battle hewas sent into exile There he wrote hisHistory of the Peloponnesian War

Unlike Herodotus Thucydides saw warand politics as the activities of humanbeings not gods He also stressed theimportance of having accurate facts

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

The key to Alexanderrsquos courage mayhave been his childhood educationAlexander kept a copy of the Iliad under hispillow Most likely his inspiration wasHomerrsquos warrior-hero Achilles In the endAlexanderrsquos reputation outstripped evenAchillesrsquo and today he is called Alexanderthe Great

Alexander the GreatVillain or Hero

Was Alexander the Great really great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

echoed the story until it

went round the whole

worldrdquomdashMichael Wood

Other historians consider Alexander

the Great to be a hero They claim he

brought progress order and culture

to each new land he conquered In

support of him they say Alexander

bull tried to promote learning

bull visited all of his wounded men

after each battle

bull spared the lives of the queen and

princess of Persia

bull built new cities where others had

been destroyed

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

Checking for Understanding1 Why do some people view

Alexander the Great as a villain2 Why do others view him as a

hero3 Was Alexander wicked or heroic

Greek Culture SpreadsHellenistic cities became centers of

learning and culture

Reading Focus Imagine you are a leading citizen in a

new city How would you make it the best city possible

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

Contrast What were thedifferences between Epicureanism and Stoicism

out about the person who created geometry and other

scientists from the Hellenistic Era

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

The Ideas of Plato One of Socratesrsquo stu-dents was Plato (PLAY bull toh) Unlike Socrateswe are able to learn a lot about Plato fromhis writings One work Plato wrote is calledthe Republic It explains his ideas about gov-ernment Based on life in Athens Platodecided that democracy was not a goodsystem of government He did not thinkthat rule by the people produced fair or sen-sible policies To him people could not livegood lives unless they had a just and rea-sonable government

In the Republic Plato described his idealgovernment He divided people into threebasic groups At the top were philosopher-kings who ruled using logic and wisdomWarriors made up the second group Theydefended the state from attack

The third group included the rest of thepeople They were driven by desire not bywisdom like the first group or courage likethe second These people produced thestatersquos food clothing and shelter Plato alsobelieved that men and women should havethe same education and an equal chance tohave the same jobs

Who Was Aristotle Plato established aschool in Athens known as the Academy Hisbest student was Aristotle (AR bulluh bull STAH bull tuhl)Aristotle wrote more than 200 books ontopics ranging from government to theplanets and stars

In 335 BC Aristotle opened his ownschool called the Lyceum At the LyceumAristotle taught his pupils the ldquogoldenmeanrdquo This idea holds that a person shoulddo nothing in excess For example a person

should not eat too little or too much but justenough to stay well

Aristotle also helped to advance scienceHe urged people to use their senses to makeobservations just as scientists today makeobservations Aristotle was the first personto group observations according to their sim-ilarities and differences Then he made gen-eralizations based on the groups of facts

Like Plato Aristotle wrote about gov-ernment He studied and compared thegovernments of 158 different places to findthe best form of government In his bookPolitics Aristotle divided the governmentsinto three types

bull Government by one person such as amonarch (king or queen) or a tyrant

bull Government by a few people whichmight be an aristocracy or an oligarchy

bull Government by many people as in ademocracy

Aristotle noticed that governments runby a few people were usually run by therich He noticed that most democracieswere run by the poor He thought the bestgovernment was a mixture of the two

Aristotlersquos ideas shaped the wayEuropeans and Americans thought aboutgovernment The founders of the UnitedStates Constitution tried to create a mixedgovernment that balanced the differenttypes Aristotle had identified

Aristotle spent 20 years at Platorsquos Academy

What present-day careers or subjects of study

require lifelong learning

PLATO AND ARISTOTLEPlato c 428ndash347 BCAristotle 384ndash322 BC

Plato was from a noble Greek family and had planned a career in

politics However he was so horrified by the death of his teacher

Socrates that he left politics and spent many years traveling and

writing When Plato returned to Athens in 387 BC he founded an

academy where he taught using Socratesrsquo method of questioning His

academy drew bright young students from Athens and other Greek

city-states Plato looked for truth beyond the appearances of

everyday objects and reflected this philosophy in his writing and

teaching He believed the human soul was the connection between

the appearance of things and ideas

Plato and Aristotlemdashtwo of the greatest ancient Greek

philosophersmdashmet as teacher and student at Platorsquos Academy in

Athens Aristotle left his home in Stagira and arrived on the Academyrsquos

doorstep when he was eighteen years old He remained at Platorsquos Academy for

20 years until the death of his teacher Unlike Plato Aristotle did not come from

a noble family His father was the court physician to the king of Macedonia At an early

age Aristotlersquos father introduced him to the topics of medicine and biology and these

became his main interests of study Aristotle sought truth through a systematic scientific

approach He liked to jot down notes and details about different

topicsmdashfrom weather to human behaviormdashand arrange them in

categories He did not trust the sensesrsquo ability to understand the

universeAfter Platorsquos death Aristotle traveled for about 12 years

He also tutored the future Alexander the Great Later in his life he

returned to Athens and opened his own school the Lyceum He

made his school the center for research in every area of

knowledge known to the Greeks

Greek HistoriansGreeks wrote the first real histories in

Western civilization

Reading Focus Why is history important Read on to

find out what Greek historians thought was important

In most places in the ancient world peo-ple did not write history Legends andmyths explained their past Some civiliza-tions kept long lists of rulers and the datesthey were in power but no one tried toexplain the past by studying events Thenin 435 BC a Greek named Herodotus (hih bullRAH bull duh bull tuhs) wrote the history of thePersian Wars

In his book Herodotus tried to separatefact from legend He asked questionsrecorded answers and checked the truthful-ness of his sources Although his historyincludes some errors and uses gods and god-desses to explain some events Western histo-rians consider him the ldquofather of historyrdquo

Many historians consider Thucydides(thoo bullSIH bullduh bull DEEZ) the greatest historian ofthe ancient world Thucydides fought in thePeloponnesian War After he lost a battle hewas sent into exile There he wrote hisHistory of the Peloponnesian War

Unlike Herodotus Thucydides saw warand politics as the activities of humanbeings not gods He also stressed theimportance of having accurate facts

Either I was present myself at theevents which I have described orelse I heard of them from eye-witnesses whose reports I havechecked with as muchthoroughness as possible

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

The key to Alexanderrsquos courage mayhave been his childhood educationAlexander kept a copy of the Iliad under hispillow Most likely his inspiration wasHomerrsquos warrior-hero Achilles In the endAlexanderrsquos reputation outstripped evenAchillesrsquo and today he is called Alexanderthe Great

Alexander the GreatVillain or Hero

Was Alexander the Great really great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

echoed the story until it

went round the whole

bull visited all of his wounded men

after each battle

bull spared the lives of the queen and

princess of Persia

bull built new cities where others had

been destroyed

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

Aristotle spent 20 years at Platorsquos Academy

What present-day careers or subjects of study

require lifelong learning

PLATO AND ARISTOTLEPlato c 428ndash347 BCAristotle 384ndash322 BC

Plato was from a noble Greek family and had planned a career in

politics However he was so horrified by the death of his teacher

Socrates that he left politics and spent many years traveling and

writing When Plato returned to Athens in 387 BC he founded an

academy where he taught using Socratesrsquo method of questioning His

academy drew bright young students from Athens and other Greek

city-states Plato looked for truth beyond the appearances of

everyday objects and reflected this philosophy in his writing and

teaching He believed the human soul was the connection between

the appearance of things and ideas

Plato and Aristotlemdashtwo of the greatest ancient Greek

philosophersmdashmet as teacher and student at Platorsquos Academy in

Athens Aristotle left his home in Stagira and arrived on the Academyrsquos

doorstep when he was eighteen years old He remained at Platorsquos Academy for

20 years until the death of his teacher Unlike Plato Aristotle did not come from

a noble family His father was the court physician to the king of Macedonia At an early

age Aristotlersquos father introduced him to the topics of medicine and biology and these

became his main interests of study Aristotle sought truth through a systematic scientific

approach He liked to jot down notes and details about different

topicsmdashfrom weather to human behaviormdashand arrange them in

categories He did not trust the sensesrsquo ability to understand the

universeAfter Platorsquos death Aristotle traveled for about 12 years

He also tutored the future Alexander the Great Later in his life he

returned to Athens and opened his own school the Lyceum He

made his school the center for research in every area of

knowledge known to the Greeks

find out what Greek historians thought was important

In most places in the ancient world peo-ple did not write history Legends andmyths explained their past Some civiliza-tions kept long lists of rulers and the datesthey were in power but no one tried toexplain the past by studying events Thenin 435 BC a Greek named Herodotus (hih bullRAH bull duh bull tuhs) wrote the history of thePersian Wars

In his book Herodotus tried to separatefact from legend He asked questionsrecorded answers and checked the truthful-ness of his sources Although his historyincludes some errors and uses gods and god-desses to explain some events Western histo-rians consider him the ldquofather of historyrdquo

Many historians consider Thucydides(thoo bullSIH bullduh bull DEEZ) the greatest historian ofthe ancient world Thucydides fought in thePeloponnesian War After he lost a battle hewas sent into exile There he wrote hisHistory of the Peloponnesian War

Unlike Herodotus Thucydides saw warand politics as the activities of humanbeings not gods He also stressed theimportance of having accurate facts

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

The key to Alexanderrsquos courage mayhave been his childhood educationAlexander kept a copy of the Iliad under hispillow Most likely his inspiration wasHomerrsquos warrior-hero Achilles In the endAlexanderrsquos reputation outstripped evenAchillesrsquo and today he is called Alexanderthe Great

Alexander the GreatVillain or Hero

Was Alexander the Great really great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

echoed the story until it

went round the whole

worldrdquomdashMichael Wood

Other historians consider Alexander

the Great to be a hero They claim he

brought progress order and culture

to each new land he conquered In

support of him they say Alexander

bull tried to promote learning

bull visited all of his wounded men

after each battle

bull spared the lives of the queen and

princess of Persia

bull built new cities where others had

been destroyed

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

Greek Culture SpreadsHellenistic cities became centers of

learning and culture

Reading Focus Imagine you are a leading citizen in a

new city How would you make it the best city possible

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Explain How did theHellenistic kingdoms spread Greek culture

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

Contrast What were thedifferences between Epicureanism and Stoicism

Reading Focus Do you know how to find the area of

out about the person who created geometry and other

scientists from the Hellenistic Era

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

Euclid (YOO bullkluhd) is probably the mostfamous Greek mathematician His best-known book Elements describes plane geometry Plane geometry (jee bull AH bull muh bulltree) is the branch of mathematics that shows

Reading Focus Why is history important Read on to

find out what Greek historians thought was important

In most places in the ancient world peo-ple did not write history Legends andmyths explained their past Some civiliza-tions kept long lists of rulers and the datesthey were in power but no one tried toexplain the past by studying events Thenin 435 BC a Greek named Herodotus (hih bullRAH bull duh bull tuhs) wrote the history of thePersian Wars

In his book Herodotus tried to separatefact from legend He asked questionsrecorded answers and checked the truthful-ness of his sources Although his historyincludes some errors and uses gods and god-desses to explain some events Western histo-rians consider him the ldquofather of historyrdquo

Many historians consider Thucydides(thoo bullSIH bullduh bull DEEZ) the greatest historian ofthe ancient world Thucydides fought in thePeloponnesian War After he lost a battle hewas sent into exile There he wrote hisHistory of the Peloponnesian War

Unlike Herodotus Thucydides saw warand politics as the activities of humanbeings not gods He also stressed theimportance of having accurate facts

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

The key to Alexanderrsquos courage mayhave been his childhood educationAlexander kept a copy of the Iliad under hispillow Most likely his inspiration wasHomerrsquos warrior-hero Achilles In the endAlexanderrsquos reputation outstripped evenAchillesrsquo and today he is called Alexanderthe Great

These new Greek cities neededarchitects engineers philosophersartisans and artists For this reasonHellenistic rulers encouraged Greeksand Macedonians to settle in south-west Asia These colonists providednew recruits for the army and a poolof government officials and work-ers They helped spread Greek cul-ture into Egypt and as far east asmodern-day Afghanistan and India

Alexander the GreatVillain or Hero

Was Alexander the Great really great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

echoed the story until it

went round the whole

worldrdquomdashMichael Wood

Other historians consider Alexander

the Great to be a hero They claim he

brought progress order and culture

to each new land he conquered In

support of him they say Alexander

bull tried to promote learning

bull visited all of his wounded men

after each battle

bull spared the lives of the queen and

princess of Persia

bull built new cities where others had

been destroyed

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

Greek Culture SpreadsHellenistic cities became centers of

learning and culture

Reading Focus Imagine you are a leading citizen in a

new city How would you make it the best city possible

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

out about the person who created geometry and other

scientists from the Hellenistic Era

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

The key to Alexanderrsquos courage mayhave been his childhood educationAlexander kept a copy of the Iliad under hispillow Most likely his inspiration wasHomerrsquos warrior-hero Achilles In the endAlexanderrsquos reputation outstripped evenAchillesrsquo and today he is called Alexanderthe Great

Alexander the GreatVillain or Hero

Was Alexander the Great really great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

echoed the story until it

went round the whole

worldrdquomdashMichael Wood

Other historians consider Alexander

the Great to be a hero They claim he

brought progress order and culture

to each new land he conquered In

support of him they say Alexander

bull tried to promote learning

bull visited all of his wounded men

after each battle

bull spared the lives of the queen and

princess of Persia

bull built new cities where others had

been destroyed

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

learning and culture

Reading Focus Imagine you are a leading citizen in a

new city How would you make it the best city possible

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

The key to Alexanderrsquos courage mayhave been his childhood educationAlexander kept a copy of the Iliad under hispillow Most likely his inspiration wasHomerrsquos warrior-hero Achilles In the endAlexanderrsquos reputation outstripped evenAchillesrsquo and today he is called Alexanderthe Great

Alexander the GreatVillain or Hero

Was Alexander the Great really great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

echoed the story until it

went round the whole

worldrdquomdashMichael Wood

Other historians consider Alexander

the Great to be a hero They claim he

brought progress order and culture

to each new land he conquered In

support of him they say Alexander

bull tried to promote learning

bull visited all of his wounded men

after each battle

bull spared the lives of the queen and

princess of Persia

bull built new cities where others had

been destroyed

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

learning and culture

Reading Focus Imagine you are a leading citizen in a

new city How would you make it the best city possible

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

However by the time the Greeks saw thedanger it was too late The PeloponnesianWar had left the Greeks weak and divided Inmany Greek city-states the population haddeclined after the Peloponnesian WarFighting had destroyed many farms and leftpeople with no way to earn a living As aresult thousands of young Greeks left Greeceto join the Persian army Many who stayedbehind began fighting among themselvesThe city-states grew weaker

Although the Athenians joined someother Greek states to fight Philiprsquos army theycould not stop the invasion In 338 BC theMacedonians crushed the Greek allies at theBattle of Chaeronea (KEHRbulluhbullNEEbulluh) nearThebes Philip now controlled most of Greece

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

The key to Alexanderrsquos courage mayhave been his childhood educationAlexander kept a copy of the Iliad under hispillow Most likely his inspiration wasHomerrsquos warrior-hero Achilles In the endAlexanderrsquos reputation outstripped evenAchillesrsquo and today he is called Alexanderthe Great

Alexander the GreatVillain or Hero

Was Alexander the Great really great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

echoed the story until it

went round the whole

the Great to be a hero They claim he

to each new land he conquered In

support of him they say Alexander

bull tried to promote learning

bull visited all of his wounded men

after each battle

bull spared the lives of the queen and

princess of Persia

bull built new cities where others had

been destroyed

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

Reading Focus Imagine you are a leading citizen in a

new city How would you make it the best city possible

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

fatherrsquos death Alexander was ready to ful-fill his fatherrsquos dreammdashthe invasion of thePersian Empire

Alexanderrsquos Conquests In the spring of 334 BC Alexander invaded Asia Minor withabout 37000 Macedonian and Greek foot sol-diers He also took along 5000 mountedwarriors With Alexander at their head thecavalry destroyed the forces of the localPersian satraps at the Battle of Granicus

By the next year Alexander had freedthe Greek cities in Asia Minor from Persianrule and defeated a large Persian army atIssus He then turned south By the winterof 332 BC he had captured Syria (SIHR bull ee bulluh) and Egypt Then he built the city ofAlexandria (A bull lihg bull ZAN bull dree bull uh) as a cen-ter of business and trade The city becameone of the most important cities in theancient world

In 331 BC Alexander headed east anddefeated the Persians at Gaugamela nearBabylon After this victory his army easilyoverran the rest of the Persian EmpireHowever Alexander did not stop at PersiaOver the next three years he marched eastas far as modern Pakistan In 326 BC hecrossed the Indus River and entered IndiaThere he fought a number of bloody battlesWeary of continuous war his soldiersrefused to go farther Alexander agreed tolead them home

On the return march the troops crosseda desert in what is now southern Iran Heatand thirst killed thousands of soldiers Atone point a group of soldiers found a littlewater and scooped it up in a helmet Thenthey offered the water to AlexanderAccording to a Greek historian Alexanderldquoin full view of his troops poured the wateron the ground So extraordinary was theeffect of this action that the water wasted by

Alexander was as good as a drink for everyman in the armyrdquo

In 323 BC Alexander returned toBabylon He wanted to plan an invasion ofsouthern Arabia but was very tired and weakfrom wounds He came down with a badfever Ten days later he was dead at age 32

Alexanderrsquos Legacy Alexander was agreat military leader He was brave andeven reckless He often rode into battleahead of his men and risked his own lifeHe inspired his armies to march intounknown lands and risk their lives in dif-ficult situations

The key to Alexanderrsquos courage mayhave been his childhood educationAlexander kept a copy of the Iliad under hispillow Most likely his inspiration wasHomerrsquos warrior-hero Achilles In the endAlexanderrsquos reputation outstripped evenAchillesrsquo and today he is called Alexanderthe Great

Alexander the GreatVillain or Hero

Was Alexander the Great really great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

echoed the story until it

went round the whole

the Great to be a hero They claim he

to each new land he conquered In

support of him they say Alexander

bull tried to promote learning

bull visited all of his wounded men

after each battle

bull spared the lives of the queen and

princess of Persia

bull built new cities where others had

been destroyed

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

learning and culture

Reading Focus Imagine you are a leading citizen in a

new city How would you make it the best city possible

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

Alexander the GreatVillain or Hero

Was Alexander the Great really great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

echoed the story until it

went round the whole

worldrdquomdashMichael Wood

Other historians consider Alexander

the Great to be a hero They claim he

brought progress order and culture

to each new land he conquered In

support of him they say Alexander

bull tried to promote learning

bull visited all of his wounded men

after each battle

bull spared the lives of the queen and

princess of Persia

bull built new cities where others had

been destroyed

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

learning and culture

Reading Focus Imagine you are a leading citizen in a

new city How would you make it the best city possible

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

Alexander the GreatVillain or Hero

Was Alexander the Great really great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

echoed the story until it

went round the whole

worldrdquomdashMichael Wood

Other historians consider Alexander

the Great to be a hero They claim he

brought progress order and culture

to each new land he conquered In

support of him they say Alexander

bull tried to promote learning

bull visited all of his wounded men

after each battle

bull spared the lives of the queen and

princess of Persia

bull built new cities where others had

been destroyed

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

Greek Culture SpreadsHellenistic cities became centers of

learning and culture

Reading Focus Imagine you are a leading citizen in a

new city How would you make it the best city possible

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

scientists from the Hellenistic Era

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

Alexander the GreatVillain or Hero

Was Alexander the Great really great

Or was he an evil conqueror Those who

see him as bloodthirsty and cruel give

this as evidence against Alexander They

say hebull destroyed Persepolis

bull attacked Tyre killing 10000 people

and enslaving 30000

bull treated his slaves harshly

bull ordered the murder of several close

advisers

Many legends about Alexander have

been told One historian found this

account to support the ldquovillain theoryrdquo

ldquoThe following is my favourite [story]

which is found all the way from Turkey to

Kazakhstan Iskander [Alexander] was actu-

ally a devil and he had horns But his hair

was long and wavy and the horns were

never seen Only his barbers knew But he

feared they could not keep the secret So

he killed them when they discovered His

last barber pretended not to notice and

kept the secret Eventually though he

could bear it no longer

and as he could tell no

one he ran to a well and

called down the well

lsquoIskander has hornsrsquo But

in the bottom of the well

were whispering reeds

[used in flutes] and they

echoed the story until it

went round the whole

worldrdquomdashMichael Wood

Other historians consider Alexander

the Great to be a hero They claim he

brought progress order and culture

to each new land he conquered In

support of him they say Alexander

bull tried to promote learning

bull visited all of his wounded men

after each battle

bull spared the lives of the queen and

princess of Persia

bull built new cities where others had

been destroyed

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

Greek Culture SpreadsHellenistic cities became centers of

learning and culture

Reading Focus Imagine you are a leading citizen in a

new city How would you make it the best city possible

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

Contrast What were thedifferences between Epicureanism and Stoicism

scientists from the Hellenistic Era

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

Arrian a Greek historian who lived

in the AD 100s wrote about Alexander

this wayldquoFor my own part I think there was at that

time no race of men no city nor even a single

individual to whom Alexanderrsquos name and

fame had not penetrated For this reason it

seems to me that a hero totally unlike any

other human being could not have been born

without the agency [help] of the deity [gods]rdquo

mdashArrian The Anabasis of Alexander

On two points all historians agree

Alexander was a brilliant general and he

was a brave fighter He once boasted to

his menldquoFor there is no part of my body in front

at any rate remaining free from wounds

nor is there any kind of weapon used either

for close combat or for hurling at the

enemy the traces of which I do not bear on

my person For I have been wounded with

the sword in close fight I have been shot

with arrows and I have been struck with

missiles projected from engines of war and

though oftentimes I have been hit with

stones and bolts of wood for the sake of

your lives your glory and your wealth I am

still leading you as conquerors over all the

land and sea all rivers mountains and

plains I have celebrated your weddings

with my own and the children of many of

you will be akin to my childrenrdquo

Greek Culture SpreadsHellenistic cities became centers of

learning and culture

Reading Focus Imagine you are a leading citizen in a

new city How would you make it the best city possible

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

out about the person who created geometry and other

scientists from the Hellenistic Era

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

Greek Culture SpreadsHellenistic cities became centers of

learning and culture

Reading Focus Imagine you are a leading citizen in a

new city How would you make it the best city possible

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

Explain How did theHellenistic kingdoms spread Greek culture

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

scientists from the Hellenistic Era

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

Greek Culture SpreadsHellenistic cities became centers of

learning and culture

Reading Focus Imagine you are a leading citizen in a

new city How would you make it the best city possible

Read to find out how leaders in the Hellenistic Era

improved their cities

During the Hellenistic Era philosophersscientists poets and writers flocked to thenew Greek cities in southwest Asia andEgypt especially Alexandria Many came totake advantage of Alexandriarsquos library Itsmore than 500000 scrolls were useful to stu-dents of literature and language Alexandriaalso had a museum where researchers wentto do their work

Architecture and Sculpture The Hellenistickingdoms were lands of opportunity forGreek architects New cities were beingfounded and old ones were being rebuiltThe Hellenistic kings wanted to make thesecities like the cultural centers of Greece Theypaid handsome fees to line the streets withbaths theaters and temples

Hellenistic kings and other wealthy citi-zens hired Greek sculptors to fill their townsand cities with thousands of statues Thesestatues showed the same level of workman-ship as the statues from Greecersquos Golden Age

Literature and Theater Hellenistic lead-ers also admired talented writers Kingsand leading citizens spent generous sumsof money supporting writersrsquo work As aresult the Hellenistic Age produced a largebody of literature Sadly very little of thiswriting has survived

One of the works we know about is anepic poem by Appolonius (AbullpuhbullLOHbullneebulluhs) of Rhodes (ROHDZ) Called Argonauticait tells the legend of Jason and his band ofheroes They sail the seas in search of a ram

with golden fleece Another poet Theocritus(thee bull AH bull kruh bull tuhs) wrote short poemsabout the beauty of nature

Athens remained the center of Greek the-ater Playwrights in Athens created a newkind of comedy The stories had happy end-ings and still make people laugh Howeverunlike the comedies of Greecersquos Golden Agethey did not poke fun at political leadersInstead the plays told stories about love andrelationships One of the best known of thenew playwrights was Menander (muh bullNAN bullduhr) who lived from 343 BC to 291 BC

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

Contrast What were thedifferences between Epicureanism and Stoicism

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

Greek Medicine The ancient Greeksbelieved that their gods had the powerto cure them of illnesses and injuriesGreek temples were places of healing as well as places of worship In templespriests treated patients with herbsprayed and made sacrifices to the gods as part of the healing process

In the 400s BC the practice ofmedicine began to change Hippocrates(hih bull PAH bull kruh bull TEEZ) a doctor andpioneer of medical science began toseparate medicine from religion Hestressed that it was important toexamine the body and look at apatientrsquos symptoms to find out whysomeone was ill He also taught that it

was important tohave a healthy diet

Hippocrates iswell known for theoath or pledge thathe asked his medicalstudents to reciteHis students had to promise never to harm and alwaysto care for their

patients New doctors still take aversion of the Hippocratic Oath whenthey graduate from medical school

Connecting to the Past1 How were illnesses and injuries treated

before Hippocrates

2 How did Hippocrates change the waymedicine was practiced in ancient Greece

PhilosophyEpicurus and Zeno showed the world

different ways to look at happiness

Reading Focus What makes you happy Read on to

learn about different Greek ideas about happiness

During the Hellenistic Era Athens con-tinued to attract the most famous philoso-phers in the Greek world The two mostimportant philosophers were Epicurusand Zeno

Epicureans Epicurus founded a philoso-phy we now know as Epicureanism (EH bullpihbullkyu bull REE bull uh bull NIH bull zuhm) He taught his stu-dents that happiness was the goal of life Hebelieved that the way to be happy was toseek out pleasure

Today the word epicurean means thelove of physical pleasure such as good foodor comfortable surroundings However toEpicurus pleasure meant spending timewith friends and learning not to worryabout things Epicureans avoided worry bystaying out of politics and public service

Who Were the Stoics A Phoeniciannamed Zeno developed Stoicism (STOHbulluhbullSIHbull zuhm) It became a very popular philoso-phy in the Hellenistic world When Zenocame to Athens he could not afford to rent alecture hall So he taught at a building knownas the ldquopainted porchrdquo near the city marketldquoStoicismrdquo comes from stoa the Greek wordfor ldquoporchrdquo

For Stoics happiness came from follow-ing reason not emotions and doing yourduty Today the word stoic is used todescribe someone who is not affected by joyor grief Unlike Epicureans Stoics thoughtpeople had a duty to serve their city

scientists from the Hellenistic Era

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth

Eratosthenes put two sticks in the groundfar apart from each other When the sun wasdirectly over one stick the shadow wasshorter than the shadow at the other stick Bymeasuring the shadows he was able to calcu-late the curve of Earthrsquos surface

Using his measurements Eratosthenesestimated that the distance around Earthequaled 24675 miles (39702 km) Amazinglyhis estimate was within 185 miles (298 km) ofthe actual distance Using similar methodshe measured the distance to the sun and tothe moon His measurements were quiteaccurate

out about the person who created geometry and other

scientists from the Hellenistic Era

Scientists especially mathematiciansand astronomers made major contributionsduring the Hellenistic Era Astronomers (uh bullSTRAH bullnuh bullmuhrs) study stars planetsand other heavenly bodies Aristarchus(AR bull uh bull STAHR bull kuhs) an astronomer fromSamos claimed that the sun was at the cen-ter of the universe and that Earth circled thesun At the time other astronomers rejectedAristarchusrsquos ideas They thought thatEarth was the center of the universe

Another astronomer Eratosthenes (EHR bulluh bull TAHS bull thuh bull NEEZ) was in charge of the library at Alexandria Eratosthenes

concluded that Earth is round He thenused his knowledge of geometry andastronomy to measure Earthrsquos circumfer-encemdashthe distance around Earth
