Meet Homer - Storytelling
This document provides an introduction to the ancient Greek poet Homer. It states that Homer lived in ancient Greece and was considered the master poet of antiquity. He is credited with writing the epic poems the Iliad and the Odyssey, which told stories of bravery, responsibility, friendship, ethics, love and more. Through his remarkable storytelling, Homer's works have endured for centuries and continue to inspire and impact people today.
Odyssey by Homer - POLAND
Homer was a Greek poet believed to be blind who lived in the late 8th or early 7th century BC. He is regarded as the greatest ancient Greek epic poet and is best known for his epic poems the Iliad and the Odyssey. The Iliad focuses on the Trojan War and the Odyssey describes Odysseus's ten year journey home after the war. Homer used a unique poetic style called the Homeric style and was unlike other poets of his time in that he traveled and sang his epic poems rather than writing them down.
Homer’s Legacy
Homer was an 8th century BC Greek poet believed to have authored the epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey. The Iliad describes the Trojan War and centers around the warrior Achilles, while The Odyssey follows Odysseus' journey home after the war. Though some dispute Homer's historicity, the poems provide insights into ancient Greek values like honor and courage. Both works have greatly influenced European literature and art for over 3,000 years. However, it remains uncertain if the stories as we know them today precisely reflect Homer's original telling.

Homer Powerpoint
The document outlines some key conventions and literary devices used in Homeric epics including:
1) The hero's adventure which is the central focus.
2) Invocations to the muse which call for inspiration and state the subject/theme.
3) Beginning in medias res in the middle of action requiring flashbacks.
4) Use of stock epithets or repeated descriptive phrases for characters.
5) Epic similes which use extended comparisons to nature to depict heroic events.
6) Extensive monologues allowing for flashbacks and character development.
7) Intervention of the gods showing a cultural perspective of Greek deities.
8) Use of dactylic hexameter as

Ancient Greek architecture had three main styles - Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. The Parthenon and Temple of Apollo at Didyma are examples of the Doric and Ionic styles respectively, demonstrating their key features. The Erechtheum on the Acropolis of Athens combined Ionic columns with sculpted caryatids and engaged columns on its western end. While Greek architecture had little influence on modern US architecture like the White House, the US Capitol building does resemble the Greek Revival style with its white columns.

One potential theme is that relationships can be complicated and unpredictable. The lyrics describe a partner who sends mixed signals and keeps changing their mind ("hot then cold", "yes then no", "in then out", etc.). This reflects the theme that romantic interests don't always behave logically and relationships don't follow a straight path. The ups and downs depicted prove this theme of unpredictable and complicated relationships.

Greek philosophers
Pyrrho of Elis was a Greek philosopher from the 4th century BCE who is considered the first Sceptic philosopher. He believed that humans could never know the truth and could only grasp appearances. Pyrrho rejected education and the possibility of knowledge, believing everything was unmeasurable and that people were incapable of telling the truth. He taught that happiness could be achieved by rejecting the search for knowledge and avoiding stress and emotion. Pyrrho's teachings on the impossibility of knowledge were a thorough exposition of non-cognitivism and had ethical implications compared to Stoic and Epicurean ideals of tranquility.
Ancient Greek innovations
The document summarizes several ancient Greek innovations including:
1) The flying pigeon of Archytas, considered the first flying machine in history.
2) A hydraulic telegraph system used to rapidly transfer messages across the large empire of Alexander the Great using water-filled containers and coded rods.
3) An automatic door opening mechanism constructed by Hero of Alexandria that used air and water displacement to open temple doors.

Euclid
Euclid of Alexandria, often referred to as the "Father of Geometry", was a Greek mathematician active in Alexandria during the reign of Ptolemy I in the late 4th century BC. He is best known for his influential textbook on mathematics called Elements, which consisted of 13 books introducing geometry and number theory. Elements was the main textbook used to teach mathematics from its publication until the early 20th century. While little is known about Euclid's life, he presented many mathematical discoveries of earlier mathematicians in a single, logically coherent framework of definitions and proofs that formed the basis of mathematics. Some of Euclid's other works that have survived include Data, On Divisions of Figures, Optics, and Pha
Greek Drama Powerpoint2
Greek drama originated in ancient Greece between the 6th and 5th centuries BC. It grew out of the festivals and rituals honoring Dionysus, the god of wine and fertility. These festivals featured choral songs and dances reenacting Dionysus's death and resurrection. Over time, actors were introduced to play different roles, and the plays became more dramatic and complex. The major playwrights who developed Greek drama were Thespis, Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides. Their tragedies were performed in outdoor theaters for thousands of spectators and followed conventions like the three-actor rule and the use of masks. Common themes included the hubris and downfall of a tragic hero
Odyssey
The Odyssey is the story of Odysseus' 10-year journey home after the Trojan War. During this time, he faced many challenges including encounters with the Lotus-Eaters, Cyclops, Laestrygonians, Circe, Sirens, and others.

It contrasts the views of the early Sophists who believed there were no absolutes and everything was relative, against the new school of thought led by Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle who believed truth could be discovered through rational inquiry and was absolute and unchanging. Key locations, people, and questions debated by Greek philosophers are also mentioned.
Homer and the iliad
Homer was believed to have been blind and lived in the 700s BC on the Greek island of Chios. He wrote two important literary works - The Iliad and The Odyssey. The Iliad tells the story of the Trojan War and how Helen was taken from her husband Menelaus, starting the war. The Odyssey describes Odysseus' journey home after the war.
Euclid
Euclid was a Greek mathematician from Alexandria known as the "Father of Geometry". His influential work Elements deduced the principles of Euclidean geometry from a small set of axioms. It served as the main textbook for teaching mathematics for over 2000 years. Euclid also wrote works on perspective, conic sections, spherical geometry, number theory, and rigor. He established an innovative deductive system in geometry based on definitions, axioms, and theorems and used it to prove various geometric results, such as how to construct a regular dodecahedron.
Odyssey Introduction Powerpoint
The document provides background information on Homer and his epic poems The Iliad and The Odyssey. It discusses that Homer is credited with writing the two most famous Greek epics around 850 BC, which were passed down orally. The Iliad tells of the Trojan War, while The Odyssey follows Odysseus' 10-year journey home after the war. It describes the setting of Ithaca before Odysseus left for war and the problems that arose during his long absence, with suitors overrunning his palace and threatening his wife and son.
The Parthenon, Acropolis of Athens, Greek.
The Parthenon was a large 5th century BC temple on the Acropolis in Athens dedicated to the goddess Athena. It was commissioned by Pericles as both a temple and national treasury after Athens had been destroyed by the Persians. Considered one of the greatest cultural achievements of Ancient Greece, the Parthenon was precisely constructed using optical refinements and golden ratios. However, it suffered damage over the centuries due to wars and the removal of sculptures to England in the 19th century. Reconstruction efforts continue today to restore this important symbol of Athenian democracy.
Greek Philosophers
Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle were influential Greek philosophers. Socrates taught through questioning and was sentenced to death in 399 BC. His teachings were written down by his student Plato. Plato founded the Academy in 387 BC, considered the first university. Aristotle was a student at the Academy for 20 years and later founded the Lyceum school. After Alexander the Great's death, Aristotle was charged with impiety and died in Chalcis one year later.

The Ancient Greek is always known for its great philosophers like Aristotle,Socrates.Which has given a vision to world through them.
Ancient greek architecture
Ancient Greek architecture developed between 900 BC to 1st century AD and was influenced by earlier civilizations like Egypt. The Greeks used post-lintel construction and three classical orders - Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian. Temples were the main buildings and were used for religious purposes to show power. Other structures included houses, theaters, and markets. Materials included bricks, stone, wood and marble. Architecture progressed through Geometric, Archaic, Classical and Hellenistic periods, with innovations like stone temples and complex theater designs in the Archaic and Classical eras.
Greek Drama Power Point
Greek drama reflected Greek society's flaws and values, with audiences internalizing both positive and negative messages. Plays were performed in theaters for festivals honoring Dionysus, with the earliest being built in Athens in the 6th century BCE. Tragedies focused on the downfall of a heroic protagonist and taught moral lessons, while comedies used crude humor and typically had happy endings. Greek theater thus exposed societal issues while educating and entertaining audiences.
Greek and Roman Architecture
The document summarizes key architectural structures from Ancient Greek and Roman civilizations. It outlines the three main Greek architectural orders of Doric, Ionic, and Corinthian, as well as two Roman orders of Tuscan and Composite. It then provides details on major Greek temples including the Parthenon in Athens and Temple of Hephaestus, and Roman structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and Trajan's Column. The document serves as an overview of prominent architectural styles and buildings that exemplified Ancient Greek and Roman design.
ANCIENT PHILOSOPHY: PRE-SOCRATICS
The document discusses ancient Greek philosophers who lived before Socrates, known as the Pre-Socratics. Three philosophers from Miletus - Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes - believed the basic substance of the universe was water, infinity, and air respectively. Parmenides argued that change and motion are illusions and all is permanent. Heraclitus believed all is in flux. Empedocles said nature's source cannot be a single element. Anaxagoras believed seeds were ordered by intelligence. Pythagoras and his followers studied mathematics and believed the universe followed musical and numerical laws, discovering the Pythagorean theorem relating triangle side lengths.
GREEK ARCHITECTURE : PARTHENON
The document provides information about the Parthenon temple in Athens, Greece. It describes the Parthenon as a Doric temple built in the 5th century BC as a temple to worship the goddess Athena. The architects intended for the brilliant white marble structure to express Athens' grandeur. Though damaged over time by warfare and explosions, reconstruction efforts are ongoing to preserve what remains of the once magnificent Parthenon.
