Ancient Greece, the cradle of western civilisation, was a land of small city-states whose people shared a language and a set of religious beliefs . Here, for a brief moment in the long history of humanity, men of genius, men of spirit, men of vision lived, created and set foundations. Words that they spoke more than 2,000 years ago are still vital and inspiring today. Before the Greeks came into the Mediterranean world, man was primarily oriented toward death and built his monuments in honor of death. The zigurats of Babylon and the pyramids of Egypt testify to the hold of death upon these early civilizations. To the Greeks, however, life is the most significant fact in the world, and human life is the greatest wonder on earth. The Greeks were the first people to play. Their famous Olympic Games are witness to their boundless enthusiasm for living. Their art speaks of the pleasure they derive from the form of the human body. But the Greeks were also well known for their achievments in sciences such as philosophy and medicine Man was a miracle above the other creatures because he possessed what they called logos. Logos in Greek means a word by which a thought is expressed. It can also mean the thought itself, or reason. The Greeks were the first people to say that the world was knowable, because they believed in man's power of reason. They had no idea of changing their own life or the world around them through the knowledge acquired by reason. The world was something to be understood and admired as it was. Through understanding the nature of the universe and the nature of man, a Greek believes he has the key to understanding man's own place in the scheme of things.

The quarrels of popes and kings, with wars or pestilences, in every page; the men all so good for nothing, and hardly any women at all it is very tiresome:" Catherine Morland, in Northhangar Abbey by Jane Austen How are historians to remedy the silence about women in many traditional accounts of history? This question has received a number of distinct answers. The first solution was to locate the great women of the past, following the lead of much popular historiography that focuses on "great men". The problem here is that just as the "great men" approach to history sidelines and ignores the lives of the mass of people, focusing on great women merely replicates the exclusionary historical approaches of the past. The next solution was to examine and expose the history of oppression of women. This approach had the merit of addressing the life histories of the mass of women, but, since it has proved to be possible to find some degree of oppression everywhere, it tended to make women merely subjects of forces that they could not control. On the other hand, historians' focus on oppression revealed that investigating the

SITE SEARCH Home The Olympic Movement Modern History Olympic Issues Date The first recorded Ancient Olympic Games were in 776BC. They lasted for approximately 1000 years. Place The Games were held in Olympia, a village in a sacred valley, approximately 500km south west of Mount Olympus. Purpose The Ancient Olympic Games were held as a religious, sporting and cultural festival in honour of Zeus, the father of the gods. Philosophy The Ancient Greeks believed that both the body and mind needed discipline and that those who practised this discipline could best honour Zeus. The Ancient Olympic Games These Games were held every four years Only Greek citizens were allowed to compete. Ancient Greece was divided into independent states, often at war with each other. During the Games there was an official truce, called Ekecheiria.. This meant athletes could travel safely to and from the Games. Violation of this truce was punishable by death. The Marathon The modern marathon is one event which originated in these Ancient Games. Legend has it that Miltiades, a Greek General with an Athenian army, fought and won a battle against the Persians. He called for an Athenian runner and asked him to carry the victorious news back to Athens. The runner's journey was 24 miles but he entered the streets of Athens and shouted 'Rejoice! We conquer!' He then dropped dead. Although the accuracy of this tale is questionable, the first Modern Olympic Games in 1896, included the marathon to commemorate this legend.

It is aimed at anyone interested in ancient civilisations and their monuments, from ruined cities, Greek temples and Roman amphitheatres, to marble statues, wallpaintings and the poignant residues of everyday life. Whilst it is primarily a historical and non-linguistic degree, ancient languages can be used or learned.

Introduction In his introduction to the editor remarks that: FitzGerald (1809-1883) found himself a homosexual in a society that, while it admired and respected a civilization [that of classical Athens] that gloried in, and boasted of, its homosexuality, itself found the behaviour so offensive as to be virtually unmentionable. As with all else, there were exceptions, such as the well known relationship between Alexander the Great and his boyhood friend Hephaiston , or the one between the mythical hero of the Trojan war, Achilles, and his best friend and lover, Patroklos . However, the relationship that was characteristic of the Greek way of life, accepted or even regarded as a social duty by the state, was intergenerational love. In its ideal form this bond was between a man (called the erastes eromenos lively debate going on between proponents and opponents of sexuality between males. Achilles and Patroklos (read the story) The Greek word for that love was paiderastia (hence pederasty), derived from

The Peloponnesian War Peace of Nicias , after the Athenian politician and general who was leading Athens at the time. Essentially similar in view and ability to Pericles, Nicias was a brilliant and cautious man who managed to pull off an effective truce. Everyone was allowed to go home, and the territorial status as it stood at the time of the peace, was allowed to remain in place. Athens kept its continental territories and allies, and Sparta got to keep all the territories it had acquired. Alcibiades . With creativity, energy, and immense oratorical ability, Alicibiades in 415 BC convinced the Athenians to attack the Greek city-states on the island of Sicily and bring them under the glove of the Athenian Empire. Although the expedition was in part under the leadership of Nicias, it soon turned into a disaster. In 413 BC, the entire army was defeated and captured and a large part of the great, powerful fleet of the Athenians was destroyed in the harbor of Syracuse. Athenian power since the Persian Wars had rested solely on the power of the navy; the disastrous Sicilian expedition left Athens almost completely powerless. ©1996, Richard Hooker

It was preceded by agriculture and the raising of animals, which appeared in sunny Greece as early as 6000 BCE - around the time that people there built stone walls around their villages, presumably to protect themselves from wild animals and marauding outsiders. In the coming thousand years, farming spread from Greece into the colder southern Balkans . Between 5000 and 4000 BCE it spread up the Danube River into central Europe, along the Rhine River , the Netherlands Gaul and finally into what is now Switzerland . During these times, Europeans used digging sticks and hoes made of wood. They had stone axes with a sharpened and polished edge, and they had stone knives for reaping their crops. They used ornamented pottery. And where wood was plentiful they built log homes - as large as thirty by forty meters. By 4000 BCE, Europeans were using a wooden plow, and, sometime after 4000, farming spread to people around the
