42. Greek Philosophy: Aristotle It really is not possible to talk about Western culture (or modern, global culture) without coming the general consensus of opinion on the subject, c. http://www.wsu.edu:8080/~dee/GREECE/ARIST.HTM

Aristotle represents for most of us an icon of difficult or abstruse philosophical thinking; to know Aristotle often provokes hushed whispers even from highly educated people. For all this reputation, though, Aristotle is actually quite an easy read, for the man thought with an incredible clarity and wrote with a superhuman precision. It really is not possible to talk about Western culture (or modern, global culture) without coming to terms with this often difficult and often inspiring philosopher who didn't get along with his famous teacher, Plato , and, in fact, didn't get along with just about everybody (no-one likes a know-it-all). We can say without exaggeration that we live in an Aristotelean world; wherever you see modern, Western science dominating a culture in any meaningful way (which is just about everywhere), Aristotle is there in some form. Alexander the Great . Although Alexander was a stellar pupil, Aristotle returned to Athens three years later, founded his own school, the Lyceum, and taught and studied there for twelve years. Because Alexander began conquering all of the known world, Macedonians became somewhat unwelcome in Athens and Aristotle was accordingly shown the door in 323. He died a year later. empirical . As a result of this belief, Aristotle literally wrote about everything: poetics, rhetoric, ethics, politics, meteorology, embryology, physics, mathematics, metaphysics, anatomy, physiology, logic, dreams, and so forth. We aren't certain if he wrote these works directly or if they represent his or somebody else's notes on his classes; what we can say for certain is that the words, "I don't know," never came out of his mouth. In addition to studying everything, Aristotle was the first person to really think out the problem of

OUTLINES OF THE GREEK EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM Education is a basic mission of the State, and its aim is to provide moral, intellectual, vocational and physical instruction for the Greeks, to promote national and religion awareness and to develop free, responsible citizens. All Greeks have the right to free education, at all levels of education in state education institutions which operate with financial support from the State. Every citizen has equal educational opportunities irrespective of family background, origin and sex. The Greek Constitution places the entire educational system under state supervision. The Ministry of National Education and the pedagogical institute formulate the policies and goals of the educational system. Local educational districts in every province are under the authority of the Ministry which ensures that schools adopt a mandatory curriculum. This, in simple words, means that from the very small village school to the big town school, students follow the very same programme and they have equal opportunities to education. The administration and management of primary and secondary education is the responsibility of the 108 Directorates of Primary and Secondary Education in the 54 prefectures, which report directly to the Ministry. Higher Education institutions are autonomous according to the Constitution but are funded and supervised by the Ministry of national Education and Religious Affairs. Books are provided free of charge.

To Home Page To Course Notes Menu The Iliad and the Greek Bronze Age by John Porter, University of Saskatchewan Notice: Suggested Background Reading World of Athens, H.I. 1-6 C.G. Starr, A History of the Ancient World, Index Introduction Minoan Crete Helladic Civilization: The Mycenaean Age Troy Some definitions: The bronze age in Greece can be identified, roughly, with the second millennium B.C. (i.e., c. 2000-c. 1000). In speaking of bronze age cultures three terms are used: *Minoan *Cycladic *Helladic Introduction. The Homeric poems date to the late 8th century B.C., but (like Arthurian legend) they purport to tell of a much earlier age. The Greece of Homer's time was on the rebound: as we shall see in a later unit, his day witnessed the rise of the city state or polis, *Heinrich Schliemann journeyed to northwest Turkey and unearthed a grand bronze age city (a series of cities, actually) at the very place tradition identified as the site of Troy. He then journeyed to Greece and, in digs at Mycenae and Tiryns, discovered evidence of a rich and powerful bronze age civilization very like that described in the poems of Homer. [For recent assessments of Schliemann and his work, see D.F. Easton, "Heinrich Schliemann, Hero or Fraud?"

56. Greek Dancing Through The Centuries, The History And Evolution Of Greek Dance general characteristics of ancient Greek dances On the other hand, dances of people with low cultural level are characterized by sexual elements and http://www.annaswebart.com/culture/dancehistory/history/

Antiquity / Origin of Dance Ancient Greeks believed that dancing was invented by the Gods and therefore they had associated it with their religious and worshipping ceremonies. They believed that the Gods offered this gift to some select mortals only, who in turn taught dancing to their fellow-men. Greek mythology attributes the origin of dancing to Rea who taught this art to Kourites in Crete. Kronos had dethroned his father Uranus. Since he was afraid that he might also be dethroned by his own children, he was eating them as soon as they were born. His wife Rea, however, deceived Kronos when their last child Zeus was born. She hid Zeus in a dark cave in Crete and instead, she gave a stone wrapped in swaddling clothes to Kronos to eat. She also asked Kourites, who were armed half-gods, to dance a war dance around the cave, shouting and striking their shields with their swords, so that Kronos would not hear baby Zeus crying. When later Zeus dethroned his father, Kourites became the priests in the new world. Their decedents continued these war dances as part of their religious ceremonies. The oldest Greek historical sources come from Crete where an ancient civilization, the Minoan civilization, flourished around 3000 - 1400 BC. The inhabitants of Crete cultivated music, song and dance, as part of their religious life and for their entertainment, as well. Sometime during the fifteenth century BC, Crete was overrun by invaders from mainland Greece, and eventually it was controlled by Mycenae.

57. The General Consulate Of The Uzbekistan In Greece The general Consulate of the Republic of Uzbekistan in greece Architects of the region created their own unique cultural structure mosques covered by http://www.uzbekistan.gr/eng/history.htm

The General Consulate of the Republic of Uzbekistan in Greece Since ancient times, the geopolitical location of Uzbekistan has been where the main caravan roads traversed to link Asia and Europe, predicating the historical richness of the land. The country is situated in the middle of Central Asia between the Amu-Darya and Syr- Darya rivers and was named "maa-waraa-nahr" by Arabs, meaning "a place between two rivers". From ancient times, the wealth of the land attracted foreign conquerors. In the third and fourth centuries B.C., Central Asia was conquered by the Macedonians. Conquest by Alexander the Great had a great effect on the economic and cultural development of the peoples of the East, West and Central Asia. In the middle of the third century B.C., the conquered regions became independent and local dynasties came to power. Bactria, which included the southern parts of Uzbekistan and Tadjikistan, became the hub of the Greek- Bactrian empire and later came under control of the Kushan empire. After the conquest of Central Asia by Alexander the Great, studies of the subsequent period depict development and the heyday of architecture, painting, handcrafts, and music. During the seventh and eighth centuries, Central Asia was conquered by the Arab Khalifat. The Arabs took over these countries under the mission of spreading the new religion of Islam. As a result, their conquest entirely changed the region's way of life. Building construction, art and science declined under the pressures of war and continued only in the middle of the nineth century. This was connected with the creation of independent empires ruled by the dynasties of the local aristocracy: the Tahirids and Samanids. In the l0th century, the Arabs were forced to withdraw their troops and the Samanids rose to power.

60. The Women Of Athens The Ancient Greek Cultures exhibit includes information on the Minoans, Myceneans and Greek Athenian women can be classified into three general classes. http://www.mnsu.edu/emuseum/prehistory/aegean/culture/womenofathens.html

The Women of Athens Compared to the women of Sparta, the status of an Athenian woman in Greek society was minimal. By comparison to present day standards, Athenian women were only a small step above slaves by the 5th century BC. From birth a girl was not expected to learn how to read or write, nor was she expected to earn an education. On reading and writing, Menander wrote, " Teaching a woman to read and write? What a terrible thing to do! Like feeding a vile snake on more poison. " Other authors and philosophers had similar quips about women. Most of what has been written about Athenian women comes from the 7th century BC onward, when education in Athens began to emerge. Prior to that date, it has been alluded to by some authors, that the status of women was not so glum. In particular, the rights of women in Athens and their decline may have been the direct result of political pressures brought about by Pericle's ruling on the legitimacy of marriage . Similarly there is evidence to suggest that Athenian women prior to the 7th century BC had been subject to similar rites of passage as boys. The scholar Jean-Pierre Vernant, wrote that the Arrephoroi, and many other religious celebrations of Athens, could have been reduced from perhaps an entire age grade's participation, to only a handful of girls who were chosen to participate. Even then, it was only the noble and upper class families which were considered for participation. Typical Day of a Greek Housewife
