Greek Empire Preservation
The Establishment and Preservation of the Greek Empire
The ancient Greeks were some of the most advanced people in the ancient world. They created
technologies and ideas that made the modern world possible. The Greek administrative innovations
and new technology established and preserved the Greek Empire. Because of their technologically
advanced weaponry and how they used it, the Greek Empire expanded all across the Mediterranean.
The Greek military were the first to used specialized weaponry for different units, and did this to
high effect. The hoplites, or infantry, carried huge shields that covered their whole body from their
ankles to their chins, wore bronze armor and helmets, and carried long spears of lengths up to
twenty feet ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
They created algebra, geometry, and philosophy, in addition to founding physics. Archimedes used
physics and geometry to create a number of tools that helped people do more work with less effort,
including the pulley and the lever. He also developed the concept of density, so people could tell if
they had been cheated by a goldsmith, silversmith, et cetera. If the Greeks had not invented these
modern sciences, they may very well never have been created. The consequences of this would be
huge, as without pulleys and levers almost no machines could run, or any complicated buildings be
built. The important subjects of the modern sciences would not be taught to people around the world
today, and there would be a lot less people with the knowledge to make the world the better place it

Greek Pottery Changes
No other culture has had such an important influence on western art as that which flourished in
Ancient Greece. (Herwig, 1988) Kate O'Halloran agrees that "a lot of what we know about everyday
life in Ancient Greece comes from Greek Pottery". (O'Halloran, 1988) Greek Pottery, particularly in
terms of decoration, evolved over the centuries and was categorized into four broad groups;
however these styles did not pass abruptly from one to another and in some cases ran side by side
for decades. (Cartwright, 2013) These changes in pottery over time were impacted by the political ,
economic, social changes and cultural developments of ancient Greece.

Solon (born c 630 BCE– died c 560 BCE) was an Athenian statesman and noted poet who was
responsible for many social and political reforms, some of which impacted Greek pottery directly.
(Cadoux, 2015) Solon realised that the country was for the most part poor and unproductive, so
Solon encouraged many of the landless to turn to learning a craft. (Bradley, 1988) Solon promised
Athenian citizenship to foreign craftsmen who settled with their families permanently in Attica.
(Bradley, 1988) Master potters from Corinth and Aegina moved to Athens which resulted in the
rapid growth of the Athenian pottery industry. (Bradley,

Greek Sculptors
Introduction Stone has always been a reliable resource for mankind. We create shelters, build
monuments, sculpt feelings, and even brush our teeth with stone. From 800 to 300 BCE Greek
sculpture took early inspiration from Egyptian and Near Eastern monumental art, and over centuries
evolved into a uniquely Greek vision of the art form. Although there are many sculptors, sculptures,
and eras of time that have had an influential impact on stone carving and cutting, I believe the time
period of Greek sculpture is when everything in the art world of stone was put into perspective,

Classic Greek Philosophy
The downfall of Greece's Mycenaean period was thought to have begun from internal civil turmoils
that led to an unstable government. The weakened government left the country vulnerable to foreign
mariners who took advantage, invaded, and destroyed much of the country.
2. Describe Classic Greek Philosophy.
Classic Greek Philosophy is largely based on the ideologies of Socrates and those who supported
and added on to his ideas, such as Plato and Aristotle. Rather than believing that the world was
created by one or many gods, Socrates and other Greeks relied on observable evidence, scientific
reasoning, and realistic thoughts to explain the natural processes of the world.
3. What was the social organization of the Hellenistic Kingdoms?
During the Hellenistic period, Greek culture was widespread across the Mediterranean. After the
death of Alexander the Great, the Hellenistic empire broke up into kingdoms and were ruled by
kings. The Hellenistic kingdoms retained much of the Greek's philosophy, science, literature, and
art. The kingdoms administered cosmopolitan societies, interacted frequently with people from
Greece to India, and integrated the economies and societies of far away regions by facilitating trade.

Between the years 1900 to 1375 BCE the Minoans, a Greek culture form Crete, had painted
frescoes. Frescoes are like wall murals and they decorate the palaces Knossos. (42) One of the most
preserved Frescoes, is the Bull Leaping. It depicts two women and a man toying with a chagrin bull.
One woman is holding the bull's horns while the man leaps over the bull, and the other woman is
standing cheering him on. The bull was a symbolically associated with male virility and strength, so
this leaping of the bull was a perhaps part of a rite of passage. (43) This was a very important part of
their culture and the bull in the painting was very realistic. Another example of realism painting that
the Greeks did was their hydria paintings. A Hydria is a water jug used to carry and sore water.
Greek painters, such as Priam Painter, would paint scenes of the daily lives of the people on these
hydrias. (57) On Priam Painters hydria, he painted a scene of women getting water at the fountain
house. He wanted the painting to look as real as possible, so he used white pigment in his slip to
make the women white. "The compositions strong vertical and horizontal framework, with its Doric
columns, is softened by the rounded contours of the women's bodies and the vases they carry." (57)
Another realism painter is Euphronius who did not paint on hydrias, but painted Kraters, which hold
wine instead. Euphronius most known painting is the

The Development And Development Of The Greek And Greek Empire
The Roman Republic and Empire was one of the largest civilisations in the world. A significant
question posed is how and why did the Roman Republic and Empire develop in the ways they did
and interact with the Persian and Greek/Hellenic Empires? At the height of the Roman Empire it
spanned across western Europe, and encompassed the entire Mediterranean. Lasting and developing
through thousands of years, the Romans encountered and interacted with the Persian and
Greek/Hellenic Empires. This included trading, co–existing, and going to war with one another.
Although, originally the Roman Republic and Empire was first founded by the Etruscan people.
Established in 753 BCE by a Etruscan colony on the River Tiber in Italy, the city was controlled by
Etruscan Kings until 509 BCE. Whence the people rose up against the monarchy to establish the
Roman Republic, and fought for control of central Italy for the next 30 years. (Dr David Lundberg,
2017, pp.6–7) Thus the Roman Republic became a contending force in Western Europe, and across
the Mediterranean for the next 450 years. (J.M.Roberts & Odd Arne Westad, 2013, p.218) Instead of
a king, two consuls and an assembly of elected magistrates were installed to rule the Roman
Republic. Before a new set of consuls, and new magistrates were elected by the citizens each year.
Additionally, legislative and consultative bodies were elected as Tribunes of the people, who
managed the affairs of the government and managed conflicts that arose

Ancient Greek culture and technological advancements continue to influence our lives in aspects of

Although democracy can be traced back to Ancient China and Mesopotamia, the modern form that

word 'demokratia', which means people power. At the time, when Athens was ruled under a

This also introduced a way of giving a voice to people of all statuses. For instance, the Greeks
developed a voting system in which black and white pebbles were collected in a container. Black
would mean 'no' and white would mean 'yes'. The pebbles would then be counted and the majority
vote would determine the action taken. The advantages of democracy are that the people have the
power to elect their rulers and representatives, who can then make wise decisions on their behalf.
This promotes political stability and the evolution of societies. Today, more than 120 countries
around the world have adopted democracy as their form of government.

Greek Intellectual Values
Throughout the time period of 600 BCE to 600 CE, many societies learned to develop innovative
ways of living and flourishing. Many of the views on society and the way they believed a society
should be run overall, impacted the way civilizations are run today. Some of the civilizations that
helped to develop this were Greece, Rome, the Maya, and Alexander the Great's Empire. This age
helped develop different political, cultural and intellectual values. Many of these developments
began in Athens, but other city–states also played an important role. One of the political values
Greek civilizations developed is the use of philosophy in the form of humanism. In addition, there
cultural values consisted of try to portray themselves to the gods to seem worthy. Lastly, the Greek's

Even though the United States is considered by a vast majority as a Democratic type of government,

of ancient Greece plays a key role on how our government in the United States formed and works.
Much like ancient Greece, today's United States government is also divided into different branches;
the executive, legislative and the judicial. Ancient Greek movement structure was divided into
"Ekklesia, which was similar to the legislative, or law–making branch, the Boule, which resembled
the executive, or law–enforcing branch, and the Dikasteria, a rough equivalent of the judicial
branch" (Harmon). But one of the main differences between what we know as the Legislative branch
and the Ekklesia, is that within the Legislative branch the Congressional Legislative is made up of
elected senators and representatives from every state. Unlike the Ekklesia, which "during the 40
annual meetings of the Ekklesia, any of the roughly 40,000 male citizens of Athens was allowed to
appear and participate" (Harmon). This also limited females to not be citizens in Greece, only males

The Olympian religion is very complex meaning that each god had its purpose to them and they
were loyal to each god by trying to satisfy them in their own way.
The Greek divine beings were depicted as people, which implied that they were not great. That is,
the divine beings committed errors, felt torment, and experienced outrage and had their tempers. The
religion was custom based and had no standard ministries, no progressive framework, and no
blessed/holy content or good code. Numerous researchers accept that the religion and society
comprised of stories told and made due through oral convention, which are the myths that we know
today. In the myths that have made due through the ages, the Greeks utilized the divine beings as a
way to defend anything that they couldn 't comprehend or deductively clarify. For instance, when
thunder and lightning tumbled from the sky joined by downpour, it was accepted that Zeus, the
divine force of the sky, was in charge of it.
Furthermore, it was possibly a sign that he was angered with the people for something wrong they
did. In that admiration, the Greeks accepted that Zeus and his Olympian divine beings were of the
best criticalness. Every God had their own sanctuary, and inside these sanctuaries the ministers or
priestesses verified that the tenets of offering were being watched. They

It is no secret that one of the benefits of being a part of a "brotherhood" is the networking

always willing to help those who wear the letters. There is no guarantee you'll get it, but being a part
of something bigger, especially something with thousands of alumni is certainly a plus. These
alumni are oftentimes eager to help individuals such as the younger versions of themselves and are
proud to still be a part of their organization."(Broderick) Many of the members of Greek life have
affluent parents, or those who are higher–ups in society were at one point a part of a Greek
organization. In fact, 83% of the Fortune 500 executives were once a part of Greek life. These
connections allow members of Greek life to have more success in finding a job after graduation, and
this is also why graduation rates are 20% higher in Greeks than non–Greeks.(Glass) This to me

was not the first incendiary weapon used before the 7th century but posed the unique feature of
being able to burn on top of and in water. The ability to burn on top of water naturally made Greek
fire a primarily maritime only weapon, due to the specially fitted ships required. The weapon was
first used to detour the fleet of Arab commander Yazid in 673, but was not the decisive element in

Stories of divine origins circulated a fear of divine punishment if one was to sell the secret of how
the weapon operated. Leo the Wise issued a law forbidding anyone to tell the enemies of the
Byzantine Empire the secret of Greek fire or its machinery and laid out a suitable punishment.
Porphyrogenitus detailed this punishment and taught his son how to deal with foreign rulers if they
demanded information about Greek fire, which he considered a divine secret from God. According
to Anna Comnena, the daughter of Emperor Alexius the 1st,a composition of pine and resin being
projected by tubes of reed to project the flammable liquid, but by the time Anna Comnena attempted
to understand the composition of the liquid, the secret had been long lost along with the Byzantine
empire. Although the secret was guarded by the threat of death, the Bulgars were able to gain

the technical requirements needed to use the weapon rendering it useless. This shows that the
composition and the components of the weapon were not the only secrets involved with the weapon,
that went far beyond the for formula of the liquid. Manuscripts from the Vatican depict two men on
a small boat using flared tubing to deliver clouds of fire in front of oncoming enemies. The caption
of the image described the weapon also being physically thrown called the Four terra cotta, which
were small ceramic grenades which acted similarly to a modern day Molotov cocktail. While the
method of deployment is understood to involve spigots, the means in which pressure was used to
propel the mixture is uncertain. The secrecy involved in the methods of use and composition lead to

The Greek Gods: The Ancient Greek Religion
Books, movies, poems, plays, and stories have all been made about the Greek Gods. These things
weren't made just for entertainment, this was the ancient Greece religion. There were twelve of these
Gods and Goddesses and they were all in charge of something. The people of Greece probably came
up with this religion because of it being so long ago, they didn't have the knowledge that we have
now, they came up with this to explain the things that they couldn't explain. For example storms,
they believed that every time that there was a storm that it meant that Zeus, God of the skies, was
upset or angry. Tsunamis, was when they believed Poseidon, the God of the seas, was angry.
However, all Gods and Goddesses were not all tied to nature. They even ... Show more content on

Artemis was really close to her twin brother Apollo. One myth about Artemis and Apollo is when
they were being born. As the myth goes, Artemis was born one day before Apollo and when he was
being born she helped her mom have him, this automatically made her the Goddess of labour
("Artemis" Mythology Of Ancient Greece). She was also a very private Goddess. Even though there
aren't very many myths about her, she would punish anybody who talked to her, spied on her, or
even looked at her, especially if it was a man. She asked Zeus to never fall in love and she never did.
She just didn't trust men ("Artemis" Greek Mythology). She spent lots of time with the nymphs.
They would splash in the streams, go hunting, and pretty much do everything together. Artemis
didn't really trust anybody but the nymphs and her family. She would normally act out of anger
because she was really hot–headed if you made her mad you would most likely die or be punished
really bad("Artemis" Greek Gods and Goddesses). In my opinion, Artemis is one of the most
interesting out of the twelve Greek Gods and

Greek Idealism In Greek Culture
Imagine a perfect world where everyone in the nation spoke the same language, shared a common
worldview and was culturally united. This would be the Ideal world that the Greeks strove for and
succeeded in. Greek idealism is not how the world really is, but rather, a perfect ideal world, which
was the answer to their success. The ideas of the Greeks were created from their mind as opposed to
external reality composed of other outside forces. Throughout the paper, I will highlight specific
examples of idealism in the Greek culture, by focusing on their philosophy, art and literature. The
awakening of philosophical thought in Greece started in 600 B.C. (Messner 10–2–17). The mind
and the spirit were viewed as the two most powerful factors of someone. With the mind and the
spirit, the possibilities were endless. With these assets, they were able to portray their love of
wisdom. Philosophy is the ponder of the everyday life and what is happening in the world (Messner
10–2–17). The idealists of the philosophical world reasoned that "the physical world is illusory and
that behind it lies a realm accessible only by contemplation" (Humanities, 67). A specific example of
philosophy, is Plato's take on the Western ideal philosophy. In his philosophy he emphasizes the
importance of values and ideas, over matter (Humanities, 69). In Plato's eye, education and
knowledge are very important (Messner, 10–6–17). This is important because it helps us understand
for ourselves the real world

Greek Figurative Sculpture

periods of Ancient Greek art? That's a question that can easily be answered through research on
Greek art but actually understanding the flow of change within the different periods allows people to
grasp the enticing change of the artworks. The idea of change simply gives artists a way to express
themselves, not only for attracting the eye to unique wonders in the world that occurred, but to also
give a sense of idealism. Artistic figures in Ancient Greek art were made by artists that created the
figures based off of the ideal human form and how they believe artwork should be made within that

Yet the kouroi, which is a style made during the archaic period, reveal further realism, obviously
depicting that the human structure was more important than the overall events that took place during
this period of ancient greek art. The kouros, plural for kouroi, was the depiction of young men,
going from the basic to those that were almost exact demonstrations. These stylistic depictions were
used to indicate feelings and emotions using figurative gestures. For example, Apollo, a god in
Ancient Greek art, compatible with many sculptures of the perpetual youth known as the kouroi, is
rendered across the Archaic period showing the deified male physique, constructed on orders of
segments and symbolizing the ability of somatic allure. The artists that created the sculpture of
Apollo really put emphasis on the figurative gesture of the torso and arms, revealing a sentimental
posture of what he stands for as an idealistic god. Although Apollo expressed the advancement of
the likeness of human composition throughout the archaic stage, the young male kouros were not
soldiers, they were emblematics of the worshiper that were contributing a more indefinite and
inaudible assistance to a god.The idea the artist had was to not only show off the ideal male form,
but to also allow for a sculpture that in a way represented no other than a "mere mortal", for those
who saw the figure as an enticing change to the span of time, where beauty and figurative emotion
of the perfect male configuration meant alot to people during the archaic period of ancient greek

Ancient Greek Dichotomy
The ancient Greeks followed a set of values, collectively thought of as paideia, that shaped both
their society and their legacy. However, this led to a dichotomy of whether the best preservation and
propagation of Greek society and paideia originated with improving and being true to the self or in
being consistent with the civic state. While these differing ideas could come into conflict, often both
worked simultaneously to achieve the same end. In Greek society, athletics represented a way of
expressing one's own personal arête, as well as maintaining the strength of society. The Olympics
was the embodiment of the value placed on athletics and the glory they bring to the individual along
with the polis. Men were able to compete for their ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Sacrifice of the physical body in warfare was rewarded by bestowing great honor to the individual,
as stated by Pericles in his funeral oration, "His merit as a citizen more than outweighed his
demerits as an individual" (Reader 43). Despite any past actions, ceding one's life for the good of the
polis reflected such arête that it negated previous dishonorable behavior. Stoic thought on civic duty,
however, postulated that through reason and self–reflection all men could arrive at an understanding
of universal truth, and therefore through improving the mind of the individual, one is improving
society. The Apology however reflects an instance where this idea comes into conflict with civil
society. Socrates calls himself, "a sort of gadfly, given to the state by God" (Read 49), a statement
stipulating his views on how self–reflection is a benefit rather than a hindrance to the state, though
these views would have him executed. He further states, "If you think that by killing men you can
prevent someone from censuring your civil lives you are mistaken" (Reader 49), arguing that civic
duty entails and requires critique of the state. Cicero does not contend this outright, but does express
his view that people are born into positions in life, and even if it is not suited to your nature one
must perform it with honor and propriety. He asserts

The Greek And Greek Influence Of The Roman Empire
Another empire would soon take many influences from the Greeks. In Rome, an empire was
beginning to rise. Roman civilization had its roots in Hellenistic culture because they idolized them.
They borrowed and enhanced upon the Greek intellectual accomplishments. As the empire expanded
this would become increasingly important. As the Romans continued to expand their empire and
influence, they were also spreading the culture of those who influenced them–the Greeks. The
Roman Empire at their peak had a vast control over much of the Mediterranean and into Europe–
controlling much of Britain, Spain, France, the North African coast, much of Asia minor. Within
these regions they had vast numbers provinces where they would allow rule the local ... Show more

These effects reached from China, India, the Middle East, and some portions of Africa. As different
regions adopted new aspects of life, they further implement that into their culture. Then the as the
culture grows, it grows with the influences adopted form that of the Romans–who borrowed it form
the Greeks. Similarly, with the Romans and Macedonians their conquest and implementation of their
culture was the main source of the spread of Hellenistic culture. However the combination of
controlling more regions and being more involved with global trade, the Romans were able to
further expand Greek influence than those before them. Soon the Roman Empire began to decline
and an even more impactful implementation of Greek culture began to arise in a region to the east.
As the Roman Empire fell and small Kingdoms began to arise throughout Europe, in a different
region of the world, an intellectual revolution began and flourished. During a period between the
eighth and ninth centuries, the Islamic world of the Middle East Experienced its "Golden Age". This
was a period of advancements in the sciences, astronomy, mathematics, and medicine. The main
source contributed to these advancements is from the Greeks. However this Golden Age may have

Greek And Roman Ideas
Greek and Roman Ideals
When considering the ancient Greek and Roman ideals you can see the distinct similarities in their
art, government, monotheism, and architecture. The Romans duplicated many of the Greek styles
and modified them to suit their lifestyles. Greece and Rome influences can be seen in art today with
the use of concepts, techniques, and styles that were founded by the Greek classical ideal. These
include techniques for carving sculptures and the construction of massive metropolitan structures.
The use of the city–state was invented by the Greeks and followed by the Romans.
The Romans were admirers of the Greek artistic style and this shows in their art and what has been
left from the ancient Roman era for us to view. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
The Greeks are responsible for the creation of the Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian columns, but the
Roman's expanded on this and modified the capitals. Greek influence can be seen in the creation of
Pantheon. The Pantheon combines the styles of Greek and Roman architectural styles with its
combination of post and lintel and dome and arch. Inside the Pantheon are sculptures like the
Parthenon, and is the most well preserved buildings from ancient Rome. The Pont du Guard in
France remains the largest aqueduct in the world and after over 2000 years it still stands. The
Colosseum is in ruins, but it still stands today.
Greek democracy and the Roman republic are similar in that they both give power to the people and
elect officials by letting the people vote. The Greek city–states were united by force through the
invasions of the Macedonians and then by the Romans. The Romans then carried on the city–state
format and were themselves invaded later by the Germanic tribes. Although the Greeks and Romans
were defeated their political ideal remains and is still in use by some democracies in the West.
The monotheism of the Greek belief system was the format for the Roman belief system. Their gods
were celebrated and revered by festivals and games being held in their honor. The Greek influence
can be seen in the Roman culture with their gods. Roman gods are essentially borrowed from the
Greek gods, but they

Greek Gods And Their Influence On Greek Religion And Culture
Leuzinger 1
The Greek Gods
Throughout history it is easy to see that religion has a big deal to do with culture, but what if
religion played such a big part in our society that we were constantly afraid of being zapped by
lightning, or losing the entire sun? From the beginning of written history gods have dictated the
ideas of peoples and cultures, shaping the majority of our world as we know it today. Such effects
can be seen even in our federal law system in America. For example the Ten Commandments had a
lot to do with the writing of the constitution. The Greeks were no exception to this. If anything the
gods influenced the Greeks more than most cultures. The Greeks entire civilization was centered
around the gods they worshipped. Part of the reason for the Greeks fascination with "supernatural
beings" was because of the powers they believed they possessed. This power possessed by the gods
made the Greeks fear them greatly. This fear then turned into worship and devotion that shaped their
entire culture. ... Show more content on Helpwriting.net ...
Each one of these gods had their own realm of control, for example one god was in control of love,
another the underworld, and some, controlled the elements. Most prominent of all the gods was
Zeus. Not only was he the god of lightning, Zeus was also the ruler of the gods. He ruled from
mount Olympus, keeping all the other gods in check along with regulating the humans below.
Because of his power and prestige, Zeus was the most worshiped god. Along side of him were many
other gods who received worship mainly depending on the humans need. If a fisherman wanted a
particularly successful fishing trip, he would make a sacrifice to Poseidon, the god of the

Dionysus Greek Pottery
Pottery was a huge part of the ancient Greeks lives. The pots were very highly decorated usually
with scenes depicting Greek gods as a way of worship to them. This paper will explore two
examples of Greek pottery and explain their uses and what is seen on them and why. The first vessel
is a red figure bell krater, from around 380 BC, attributed to artist known as the Erbach painter.
Typically red figure style deals with scenes of everyday life rather than myth, this pot differs from
this as it does contain myth but rather than depicting the action from a mythological tale, it portrays
a general scene of the Greek god, of wine drama and fertility, Dionysus. In this scene Dionysus is

440 BC. Like the other, it is a red figure bell krater featuring Dionysus. In this depiction of Dionysus
he is again seen holding a thyros but unlike the previous vessel instead of the presence of vines we
see him holding a wine cup (kylix), which is a very common attribute of the god. To the right we see
a satyr playing the flute. The satyr could be one of the Titiyroi classes of satyr as he shares many of
the main characteristics of them, such as the flute and his tail. To the left of Dionysus stands a
woman holding a wine jug (oinchoe). It is hard to tell who this woman is, as there are many
possibilities. She could be a maenad for the reason that maenads show up in a lot of artwork with
Dionysus. However this would not be a normal showing of a maenad. Maenads are usually seen
holding a thyros, wearing a wreath of ivy, holding a musical instrument or wearing some kind of
animal print. This woman could be Ariadne, the wife of Dionysus. In Greek artwork, Ariadne is
often seen with Dionysus. Both pots share a similar artistic style and depict Dionysus in a very
comparable way. The slight differences that you do see between them could be because of the time
difference between each work. Nevertheless both vessels depict Dionysus in the usual way. Both
pots lack a mythical story behind it and seem to be a general scene. While the first pot looks like a
worship to Dionysus, the second pot looks like a general depiction of Dionysus and the

The Greek Orthodox Church : The Influence Of The Greek...
During the Ottoman occupation of Greece there were many aspects of life that changed due to the
new ruling power, but one aspect that strived to be unchangeable was the Greek Orthodox Church.
With an occupation that spanned nearly 500 years and encompassed periods of great industrial and
agricultural growth, it is clear Greece must have gone through changes. The Greek Orthodox Church
was extremely resistant to change during the Ottoman rule due to its people's belief that Greek
identity lay within their faith, and conservation of their faith in the form of the Greek Orthodox
Church was of the utmost importance. The Greek Orthodox Church was resistant to change under
Ottoman rule despite its privileges due to the want to preserve Greek heritage, the peripheral support
of Russia, and the hope to someday be free from Ottoman rule. Though the Greek Orthodox Church
proclaimed to protect its followers, it was full of corruption and their favor was easily swayed by
Mohammad II due to their hatred of the Catholics. Under Ottoman rule, the Greek Orthodox Church
acquired power as an autonomous millet. Islamic sacred law prescribed religious toleration, meaning
that the Greek Orthodox Church was given a privileged position within the empire. Instead of
imposing mass conversion to the Greek population, the new Muslim rulers showed tolerance and
even respect for the conquered populations. This respect was very much linked to the belief that
Christians are fellow "people of the

The Greeks music was probably the most culturally influential aspect out of all the things the Greeks
practiced. Their music also tied in other aspects of their culture which they loved to display in their

ODYSSEY which is a song based on the clash between two Gods Odysseus and Achilleus this piece
is only a stepping stone into what Greek music developed into as future civilizations came about.
Although this was early music Greek songs like this one are the ones that paved the way and made a
huge development as to what we know as Greek music, and made a great deal of impact on how
they display their music as of now throughout their culture.

paintings and so on... A lot of these items are pieces of the past but are still being displayed

role in their culture including many stages of art such as Geometric Art, Orientalizing Art, Archaic
Art, and Vase painting. These stages of art were the building blocks of art throughout other

As for the Achilles and Ajax playing a board game by painter Leagros Group, it is also a black
figure neck– amphora created about ca 510 B.C. from Athens, Greece. the height is 30.4 centimeters
and rather than a wine jar, it was used as a storage jar. (Attic Black–Figure Neck Amphora) In term
of the shape of amphora, it is one of the oldest and most common form, which has round black
handles and an echinus foot, the shape is like an upside– down shallow bowl, the mouth is more
wide open, it has a cylindrical handle, and the area between the neck and the shoulder of amphora, it
has a deeper radian angler. basically, the whole amphora was painted in orange– yellow color,
excluded the mouth and handles, which are painted in black. Indeed, it is an evolution of Exekias'
contribution, each of these shape has its own pattern of moderate and exquisite change over time.
According to the Understanding Greek Vases, the aesthetic of Greek vase painting is more
fundamental than interplay and the balance between the contrasting dark and light areas on a vase,
between the black painted areas and orange– red of the unpainted part. (The Understanding Greek
Vases) In fact, for this amphora painted by Leagros Group, the balance of the dark and light area
was set by the black concentrated in the picture, and the picture dominates the vase, which seems
like the whole image was enlarge by the image and takes up the most space on the amphora, because
it was painted with double –leaved ivy on the neck, and it's also painted double lotus and palmette
pattern on the lower part of body, but it's larger than first picture, therefore the pattern is perfectly fit
to the neck of the amphora. Whereas, this amphora painted more double lotus and palmette chain in
between the lower border and main image, also in the interface of the neck and shoulder, it has a

People from early civilizations created myths which they followed in their everyday lives. These
myths carried three details to explain how the world was created. Those three details were mystical,
cosmological, and sociological. Mystical is the supernatural or fantastical events in life.
Cosmological is the creation and nature of the universe. Sociological is about society and human
behavior. The Greek's created a myth to explain how they think the universe was created. These
myths were sacred in the Greek culture and it helped people figure out how everything was made.

create a new way of life for them.
The "Greek Creation" myth helped Greeks realize why aspects of their environment were created. It
showed them why their environment was created and who helped to create it. In the
"Greek Creation" it's says, "Uranus feared these powerful creations and hid them deep in earth.
When a hero died he was given a special place in the underworld called the blessed isles where it is
always light and beautiful." In modern day we would refer to this has heaven and hell. It shows were

Hi everybody, My name is Mary and I am going to be your docent for the day. Today we are going
to be learning about two different kinds of ancient artwork. I am going to be showing you examples

art. The Greeks mastered the idea of sculpture, in earlier times the sculptures looked fake but by the
classical period they started looking more natural with realistic–looking faces. The Greeks also liked
to make pottery out of stone and clay, they usually would have mythological or religious scenes on
them and grew more realistic over time. The first ancient Greek art that we will be learning about
today is the Winged Victory of Samothrace. It was created around 220–185 BC made from parian
and rhodian marble. On April 15, 1863 workers were excavating and uncovered parts of a statue.
They then sent it to the Louvre, where it is currently on display.You can't tell from the picture, but

roles," (Asel, Seifert, Pascarella 6). In addition, it was also mentioned that following college, those
involved in Greek life had stronger personal/interpersonal skills, skills that are exceptionally useful
in today's work place (Asel, Seifert, Pascarella 7). While the authors never directly come out and
offer their supports for fraternities and sororities, they show their bias towards these organizations
with their word choices. Words like "natural–born leaders" and "leadership roles," and highlighting
the strong social skills gained from Greek life is what makes the reader feel like a bias is present in

Genocide In Greek Genocide
One of the most gruesome genocides to happen during the 20th century is the Greek Genocide, often
referred to as the Pontian or Ottoman Greek Genocide. This genocide consisted of mass killings and
exterminations of the Ottoman Greeks by the Turkish rule from 1914–1923. The main dispute was
difference in religion and beliefs, Christians versus Islam. What most people do not know is that the
Ottoman Greek Genocide is responsible for the almost complete destruction of the Christian
Orthodox culture, including monuments and history. Many Greeks suffered from forced
deportations, death marches, forced conversion of religion, executions, labor battalions, hunger, and
the overall cruelty of the Turkish government during this time period. The ones responsible for these
acts was the Committee of Union and Progress (CUP) and the Young Turk reformists who seized
control of the Ottoman Empire. Ottoman Greeks of all ages and genders were persecuted because of
their culture and minority in Turkey, so that the CUP and the Young Turks could achieved perfect
"Turkification" of the empire. The events of the Pontian Greek Genocide happened in the
westernmost part of Asia called Asia Minor or Anatolia, which is the Greek word for 'east'. The
Greeks first settled in Asia Minor around the 11th century (BC). From the 4th century (AD), Asia
Minor's main religious practice has been Christianity in which it has played an important role in the
development of Christianity. For a long period of time,
