Ancient greece flowchart
Ancient Greece was known for its architecture like temples and pillars. It produced famous sculptures and pottery. The region had a mountainous landscape and many city-states like Athens. Greek mythology featured supernatural beings like Zeus, Hades and Poseidon. Society was divided into citizens, non-citizens and slaves. Notable philosophers included Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. Greece experienced important wars and periods of history. The Olympics were a religious sporting event held every four years dedicated to Zeus.
Prinias1
This document provides an analysis of Temple A at Prinias in Crete, which dates to the 7th century BC. It discusses the site's discovery and excavation history. Temple A has a rectangular cella structure with indications of a pronaos and evidence of ritual activity inside. While its plan incorporates some Minoan and Mycenaean architectural elements, the building is most notable for its sculpted limestone figures on the exterior walls, which feature seated and standing female figures as well as a relief depicting mounted warriors. These figures indicate foreign influences, particularly from Egypt, on the eclectic architectural styles of Greece during the transitional Archaic period.
Prinias prespdf
Temple A at Prinias, Crete from the 7th century BC displays Egyptian and Egyptianizing features in its architecture and sculptural decoration. Direct Egyptian influence on Greek art and architecture in the 8th-7th centuries has been underestimated, as evidenced by Temple A. Herodotus recounts how Cretan sailors were blown off course to Libya and exposed to Egyptian buildings, encouraging the use of stone in Greek architecture instead of wood and mudbrick. Egyptian artistic motifs like the false door, clenched fist, and horsemen frieze are seen in the sculpture at Temple A.
The Legacy of Ancient Greece
The Greeks made many contributions to government, science, architecture, entertainment, geography, and math/language including developing democracy, studying the human body and plants/animals, influencing architectural styles still used today, starting the Olympic Games, establishing a latitude/longitude system, and studying geometry and the alphabet/grammar that form the basis of modern languages.
Development of Civilization
Civilization refers to advanced stages of social and cultural development characterized by progress in the arts, sciences, and forms of social organization. Early civilizations flourished along river valleys because they provided water, fertile soil, building materials, opportunities for fishing, transportation, trade, and a moderate climate. The Bronze Age saw the introduction of bronze, an alloy stronger than copper or tin alone, leading to improved tools and crafts. Notable early civilizations included those in Mesopotamia, Egypt, China, and India, which developed writing systems, calendars, legal codes, herbal medicine, and other innovations while worshipping nature and engaging in agriculture.

Studying the past
This document provides an overview of what history is and the different sources that historians use to study the past. It defines history as the systematic study of past events based on facts rather than imagination. Historians divide history into two parts - prehistory, which refers to the period before writing, and history, which refers to the period after the invention of writing. Source materials for historians fall into two main categories: archaeological sources, such as inscriptions, coins, monuments and artifacts; and literary sources, which include religious texts, plays, biographies and accounts from travelers that provide information about ancient societies and cultures.
Constellations adwaith
Constellations served two purposes in ancient Babylon sky-maps from 3200 BC to 500 BC - representations of gods and symbols, and representations of the farming calendar. There are currently 88 officially recognized constellations, with 48 considered ancient as they were described by Greeks and possibly earlier Babylonians and peoples. As navigation improved after the 15th century, previously undiscovered southern constellations were added to star charts.

2. Euclid's Elements collected earlier geometric theorems into a coherent logical system and was used as the standard geometry textbook for over 2000 years.
3. Many of these early geometers were based around the Mediterranean, including Thales in Miletus, Pythagoras on Samos island, Plato in Athens, and Archimedes in Syracuse.
Discussion Of The Pre-Socratics Essay
Thales is considered one of the earliest known philosophers. He lived in Miletus and was part of the Milesian school of philosophy. Thales believed that water was the fundamental substance that all things were made of. He is known for making early contributions to geometry and accurately predicting a solar eclipse. Other pre-Socratic philosophers such as Anaximander and Parmenides built upon Thales' ideas and developed their own theories about the nature of reality.
Pre socratic
This document provides information on several pre-Socratic philosophers including Zeno of Elea, Parmenides, Heraclitus, Thales of Miletus, Pythagoras, Anaximander, and Anaximenes. It summarizes their key ideas and contributions to early philosophy and science prior to Socrates. These philosophers were among the first to attempt natural explanations for phenomena rather than relying on mythology. They engaged in metaphysical and scientific speculation about topics like the origin and nature of the physical world.
Classical Ancient Greece Essay Examples
During the Classical era of Ancient Greece from around 500 BCE to 320 BCE, Greek society experienced significant growth in culture while also facing conflicts and wars. Life for most Greeks centered around the polis, or city-state, with distinct social classes. Women in wealthy families lived relatively sheltered lives focused on household duties, while poorer women worked alongside men in fields from morning until night. Architecture and clothing were rather simple and basic for both the wealthy and poor, with homes made of mud bricks and plaster and simple wool or linen garments worn by most.
The athenian
This document summarizes several ancient Greek philosophers and their ideas, including Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and Democritus. Socrates helped lay the foundations of western philosophy through his use of inductive reasoning and belief that wrongdoing stems from ignorance. Plato was a student of Socrates and documented his teachings, founding the Academy in Athens. Aristotle studied under Plato and made contributions across many fields, including physics, biology, and optics. Democritus originated the atomic theory that the universe is composed of indivisible atoms and void.

Ancient Greek Philosophy Author Pearson - The world's learning company - Cana...
Ancient Greek philosophy began around 2500 years ago when early Greek thinkers started using reason and observation rather than mythology to understand the world. This included early philosophers like Thales, Anaximenes, and Pythagoras who sought fundamental truths about nature. Socrates furthered this by questioning individuals to expose inconsistencies in their beliefs, which led to his trial and death. His most famous students, Plato and Aristotle, developed comprehensive philosophical systems that addressed the nature of the universe and humanity, and their works became hugely influential on Western civilization.

HOW GREEKS KNEW EARTH IS SPHERICAL1.1.pptx
The Greeks knew the Earth was spherical through several lines of evidence:
- Pythagoras first proposed a spherical Earth around 500 BC.
- Anaxagoras observed circular shadows on the Moon during lunar eclipses, indicating the Earth was round.
- Aristotle made detailed arguments including that the North Star appears higher in the sky the farther north you travel, and ships disappear over the horizon progressively from bottom to top.
- Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of Earth by measuring the sun's angle at different locations, arriving at a value close to modern measurements.

Plato first wrote about the lost city of Atlantis in ancient times. According to his descriptions, Atlantis was a very advanced civilization located on a large island in the Atlantic Ocean. However, the island was destroyed in a cataclysmic volcanic eruption that caused earthquakes and tsunamis, sinking the entire landmass beneath the sea. While some believe it was entirely fictional, others argue that Plato may have been recording an actual historical event, though the exact location of Atlantis remains unknown.
