Late Classic Greek philosophy was dominated by Plato and Aristotle. Plato believed in eternal forms and advocated for rule by philosopher kings, while Aristotle focused on logic and scientific investigation. The 16th century work The School of Athens by Raphael spread the erroneous idea that Renaissance Europe's culture directly descended from Classical Greece. In reality, Greek scientific thought diffused eastward during the Hellenistic period, and these ideas were later maintained in Persia and highly developed in Islamic civilizations before spreading to Europe over 1400 years later. Philip of Macedon expanded his kingdom in northern Greece and consolidated the southern Balkan peninsula until his assassination in 323 BCE. His son, Alexander the Great, then led military campaigns from 336 to 323

The combination of Greek and Persian art and culture and what happened once Alexander the Great was dead.
Hellenistic Greece
Philip of Macedonia conquered Greece in 338 BCE. His son Alexander expanded the empire greatly, conquering Persia, Asia Minor, Egypt, and Syria before his death in 323 BCE. The empire was then divided among his generals. Hellenistic culture saw developments in realistic sculpture and melodramatic drama. Philosophy schools like the Skeptics, Cynics, Epicureans and Stoics focused on practical everyday life over rational investigation. Science and mathematics advanced, while religion incorporated mysteries from Egypt and Persia. This period expanded Greek influence and set foundations for Rome and Christianity.

Greek Philosophy and the Hellenistic World
The document summarizes the development of Greek philosophy from the pre-Socratic philosophers to the Hellenistic period. It traces the emergence of philosophical questioning of myths and the search for consistent rational explanations. Major philosophers like Thales, Anaximander, Pythagoras, Heraclitus, Parmenides, Empedocles, and Democritus established early philosophical traditions.

Many scientists and scholars accompanied Alexander's conquests and gained new knowledge from places like Egypt and the Near East. Ptolemy established the Library of Alexandria in Egypt in the early 300s BC, creating the largest library of the ancient world containing over 500,000 scrolls and sponsoring research. Scholars like Euclid, Eratosthenes, and Archimedes conducted pioneering work in fields like mathematics, astronomy, and physics.

I shared with friends a comment that I sent to Dr. Kaveh Farrokh, discussing issues of racist and deliberate falsification of Ancient Iranian History attested in Western universities and among scholars who fail to undertake interdisciplinary studies and be objective and impartial in their research. The cases of the untrustworthy Ancient Greek sources and Herodotus' felonious narratives are referred to; more attention is given to illustrious Ancient Greek high priests, who utterly rejected and denounced Herodotus' 'malignancy'. My introductory letter and the comment are herewith included, along with many links for further reading and research.
