Greek Olympics Ancient Times The Greeks invented Olympic athletic contests and held them in honor of their gods. But sports and competitions are part of the history and culture of many ancient civilization - including those of Meso- America. In Egypt there had been many findings and glyphs depicting sports events have been found. In ancient Egypt, acrobats, who displayed physical agility and strength, were mainly viewed as performers. Most Egyptian acrobats were women, and they performed alone or in groups. Young Egyptian boys also participated in acrobatics, and played games with hoops. There are 200 wrestling groups depicted on one wall of the tomb at Beni-Hassan. The wrestlers wear a loin-cloth similar to the cod-piece or loin-cloth of Minoan athletes. Although the scenes portray the various positions and "holds" involved in wrestling, the sport was practiced as part of Egyptian military training, and there is no evidence of organized competition. Ancient Egyptians also participated in various running activities. One of the kingdom's most important festivals was the "jubilee celebration," a festival first celebrated on the 30th anniversary of the reign of Amenophis III, and celebrated continuously in three-year intervals. In the "ritual run", an integral part of the celebration, the current king would run between two sets of three semicircles, the semicircles being cosmic references to the order of the universe. Unlike later Greek footraces, however, the Egyptian king ran alone, without a competitor. Physical evidence of the "ritual run" exists at the pyramid complex of King Djoser, where one can find the ruins of the world's first sports facility, complete with the running track for the "ritual run."

22. Ancient Olympic Games - By Harvey Abrams, BS, MAT, Ph.d/abd hippias of elis, 5th century BCE (works lost) Aristotle, 4th century BCE Strabo,63 BCE 21 CE (Geography) Phlegon of Tralles, circa 138 CE http://www.harveyabramsbooks.com/ancient.html

by Harvey Abrams, BS, MAT, Ph.d/abd. The ancient Olympic Games are so old that even the ancient Greeks didn't know how they started. The origins of the ancient Games are steeped in legend and myth. Different versions of the origins of the Games were described by ancient writers such as Pindar, Strabo, Phlegon, Pausanius and Eusebius. Of course all of these writers came many years after the ILIAD and the ODYSSEY were written by an ancient Greek writer named Homer . There is no evidence to date Homer's works, but they appear to be from the period of the 10th to the 6th centuries BCE. In fact, there is no evidence that shows Homer was the writer and it is possible that these works were written by more than one person. Remember what we know today is only a mere fraction of what happened 3,000 years ago. Think about your own history what happened on the day you were born? What evidence exists to prove it? Your birth certificate? Your parents told you about it? Was there a newspaper article written about your birth? Did you talk to any doctors or nurses who were there? So in studying the past even your own past how can you find out what happened? There has to be something to look at, or someone to talk to (witnesses). So how could we possibly know anything about the Greeks who lived 3000 years ago?

Lesson 21 The Ancient Olympic Games Lessons The first written accounts of the Olympic Games date from 776 BC, although it is sure that these Games were not the first ones to be held. The Games, like all Greek Games, were an intrinsic part of a religious festival held in honor of Zeus (supreme among the gods) in Olympia, a worshipping place for the Greek gods near the town of Elis. Here the Greeks erected statues and built temples dedicated to Zeus. The greatest shrine was an ivory and gold statue of Zeus created by the Greek sculptor Phidias. The beauty of the statue was considered to be one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The Olympic Games were held in four-year intervals, and later the Greek method of counting the years even referred to these Games, using the term Olympiad for the period between two Games. The Games took place during the first full moon after the summer solstice. When it was time for the games, the rulers of Elis sent out messengers all over Greece and to the Greek colonies around the Black Sea and the Mediterranean. They declared a truce throughout the Greek world for a month. No matter who you had a war with, you had to stop the war and let their athletes and performers go through your city-state safely to get to the Olympic Games. According to Hippias of Elis, who compiled a list of Olympic victors c.400 BC, at first the only Olympic event was the stadion race, a race over about 190 meters, measured after the feet of Hercules. The word stadium is derived from this foot race. This was the only event until 724 BC, when a two-stadium race was added.

A philosophy of a discipline such as history, physics, or law seeks not so much so solve historical, physical, or legal questions, as to study the concepts that structure such thinking, and to lay bare their foundations and presuppositions. In this sense philosophy is what happens when a practice becomes self-conscious. . . .

A polymath, he is supposed to have predicted the solar eclipse of 28 May 585 BC and to have introduced the study of geometry to Greece.

Maps of World ANCIENT OLYMPICS TO REVIVAL OF OLYMPICS Olympics from 776 B.C. to 1896 A.D. Starting in about 776 B.C., the ancient Olympic Games were held every four years in the valley of Olympia in southwestern Greece. A flame was lit at the altar of Zeus to mark the opening of the Games, which was extinguished on the completion of the Games. According to the Olympic historical records kept by Hippias of Elis, the first foot race for the athletes was held at Olympia in Western Peloponnese for the first time in 776 B.C. in honour of their Greek God Zeus. Coroebus, a cook from Elis, won the sprint race called the 'stade' (a distance of 210 yards). The victor was crowned with a wreath of wild olive (in Greek called kotinos) and was granted special honours in their home city. As the games were held in Olympia, it came to be known as the Olympic Games. From the sole stade race the Olympic Games progressed to include events such as wrestling, boxing, pankration, equestrian events and pentathlon (jumping, running, javelin, discuss and wrestling) as evident from the Olympic history.. The last recorded champion was Varasdates, who won the boxing competition in 369 A.D. After that Emperor Theodosius abolished the Games as he considered them pagan. After being held for around 1100 years, the Olympic Games would be dormant for the next 1525 years. In order that the athletic events, which were popular in various countries and to transform the notion of rivalry into noble competition, free from profit, it was decided to make:

The advantage of this unusual location is that the Moon would act as a massive shield, protecting the telescope against radio emissions from Earth. Astronomers could also listen to low radio frequencies that don't penetrate the Earth's atmosphere. Claudio Maccone, an astronomer at the Centre for Astrodynamics in Turin, Italy, is assessing the concept for the International Academy of Astronautics. He even has his eye on a plot of lunar real estate. A 100-kilometre-wide crater called Daedalus the Moon . Maccone is due to present the results of his study to the International Astronautical Congress next October. If the plans are approved, the first step will be to design a satellite probe to orbit the Moon and check there really is a quiet zone. Jupiter's giant light show SOMETHING strange is happening on Jupiter. Its magnetic field extends hundreds of times further out into space than previously thought, creating auroras that make the Earth's northern lights seem feeble in comparison. Jupiter is the giant of the Solar System, more than a thousand times as massive as Earth. In January 2001, the combined power of the Cassini and Galileo space probes, the Chandra X-ray telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope were all trained on the Jovian magnetosphere - the region controlled by the planet's magnetic field. Magnetic field lines fan out from a planet like the lines of iron filings from the poles of a bar magnet. Auroras are caused by ions zipping along these lines, so researchers can use the location of auroras to track how far out into space the planet's magnetic field lines can trap ions from the solar wind.

See Hippias (son of Pisistratus) Hippias of Elis , Greek sophist , was born about the middle of the 5th century BC and was thus a younger contemporary of Protagoras and Socrates He was a man of great versatility and won the respect of his fellow-citizens to such an extent that he was sent to various towns on important embassies. At Athens he made the acquaintance of Socrates and other leading thinkers. With an assurance characteristic of the later sophists, he claimed to be regarded as an authority on all subjects, and lectured, at all events with financial success, on poetry, grammar, history, politics, archaeology, mathematics and astronomy. He boasted that he was more popular than Protagoras, and was prepared at any moment to deliver an extempore address on any subject to the assembly at Olympia. Of his ability there is no question, but it is equally certain that he was superficial. His aim was not to give knowledge, but to provide his pupils with the weapons of argument, to make them fertile in discussion on all subjects alike. It is said that he boasted of wearing nothing that he had not made with his own hands. Plato's two dialogues, the

Theaetetus Prodicus shared many of the characteristics attributed to Protagoras. He also charged money for his teaching, with the same practical focus of convincing speech with the power of words. His main interests were the language arts. Poets, philosophers, intellectuals, and luminaries served as ambassadors and were sent to the councils of neighbouring cities. Prodicus was sent from Ceos to Athens. Thus, it established his reputation in Athens and this allowed him later to procure young men for his lecture series and allowed him, like Protagoras, to become quite wealthy.

Bryn Mawr Classical Review 2002.09.40 Christian Mann, Reviewed by Thomas Heine Nielsen, The Copenhagen Polis Centre (heine@hum.ku.dk) Word count: 1885 words Greek athletics are an extremely fertile field of research, as is evidenced e.g. by a periodical such as Nikephoros and the steady flow of excellent studies such as the recent ones by Mark Golden ( Sport and Society in Ancient Greece , Cambridge 1998) and Hugh M. Lee ( The Program and Schedule of the Ancient Olympic Games , Hildesheim 2001), to mention just two examples. There has been, however, no major study of the relations between athletes and their home-poleis, and so Mann's full-scale study of precisely this subject is more than welcome. And let the conclusion be stated in advance: M.'s study is very successful and highly interesting. It will appeal to both historians and classicists. The book is subdivided into eight chapters: (two introductory chapters on methodology; five case studies; and a concluding chapter) it contains a very useful 13-page appendix on the epinician poems of Simonides (arguing that the preserved fragments stem from genuine epinicians and do not contain satirical elements), and concludes with a rich bibliography and a general index; there is, unfortunately, no index of sources. Chapter 1 is a short but readable survey of research, to situate M.'s study in the context of modern research. M. identifies three basic trends in modern research on Greek athletics: (i) the idealising romantic trend which provides the modern Olympic movement with some fundamental tenets of its self-perception; (ii) its antipode, the 'Entmythisierung' exemplified by the works of e.g. Pleket and Young; and (iii) the emphasis on the cultic context of athletics (here M. takes the opportunity to point out sensibly that the fact that all Greek athletics were embedded in cult does not mean that political, social, economic etc. investigations are bound to fail). All three of these trends, says M., suffer from failure to allow for the diversity of Greek athletics since they disregard, e.g., diachronical developments and regional variations.

34. Hippias Quadratrix Around 420 BC, hippias of elis discovered a quadratrix curve (also known as atrisectrix). Hippias quadratrix was the first curve in recorded history that http://www.geom.uiuc.edu/~huberty/math5337/groupe/quadratrix.html

Hippias' Quadratrix Around 420 B.C., Hippias of Elis discovered a quadratrix curve (also known as a trisectrix). Hippias' quadratrix was the first curve in recorded history that was not part of a line or a circle [2, p.40] . The definition of the quadratrix is the following. A segment AB translates uniformly from AB to CD at the same time ray OA rotates about point O uniformly clockwise until it reaches OD . The curve traced out by the intersection of the segment and the ray is the quadratrix. [2, p.41] You may experience this curve in Geometer's Sketchpad by clicking on Hippias' quadratrix sketch . Note that this curve was not "constructed" in the classical Greek sense of the word. It is theoretically possible to construct a countable set of points on the curve using only a compass and a straight edge. However, this is not good enough to be a true construction. Although points on the quadratrix may be found as close to each other as desired, there are alway missing points. To truely construct a set of points on the quadratrix, click on the true construction of points on Hippias' quadratrix . Despite the construction problem, the quadratrix can be made to any desired precision.

Historical Overview of Pi The ancient Babylonians knew of the existence of - the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of any circle . The constant they obtained, 3.125, made use of their knowledge that the perimeter of a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle equals six times the radius of the circle. By using this perimeter of the inscribed hexagon as a lower bound for the circumference of the circle, they were able to come up with their remarkably close approximation for circa 2000 B.C. [2, p.21] During the fith century B.C., Hippias of Elis discovered the quadratrix, a curve which could be used to determine through a geometric construction. Hippias' quadratrix , could be used to "square the circle" although not in a manner acceptable to the ancient Greek (or even modern) geometers. "Squaring the circle" was the problem posed by the ancient Greeks in which a square was to be constructed with area equal to that of a given circle [2, p.40] In the third century B.C., Archimedes of Syracuse, widely accepted as the greatest scientific mind of antiquity, found a method whereby could be determined to any degree of accuracy desired.

Protagoras of Abdera, Gorgias of Leontini (437 b.C.), Hippias and Prodicus While Protagoras was older, these three were active, when Socrates drank the hemlock in 339 B.C. Protagoras of Abdera (500 - 435 B.C.) Protagoras was supposed to be born around 481 B.C. in Abdera in Thracia (where possibly Leucippus and Democritus were also a native), while Taylor and Burnett considered his birth in 500 B.C. Protagoras seemed to come to Athens around 450 B.C. Pericles enjoyed his talent and association. Indeed Protagoras was the greatest sophist of all. By Pericles' request, Protagoras was supposed to draft the constitution of Thurioi, the new colony founded around 444 B.C. As one of the important guests, Protagoras was in Athens at the outbreak of the Peloponessian War in 431 B.C. and during the famous plague of 430 B.C. Protagoras , in which Protagoras was portrayed as an elderly human-being, at least 65 years of age around 435 B.C.

[LECTURE 8: Socrates and Apology] Apology of Socrates The trial against Socrates took place in Athens in 400/399 B.C. It was customary to have 501 jurors (and no judge in the modern sense). It was the accused's responsibility to defend himself against the accusation. He was also allowed to cross examine the accusers. The decision of sentencing the accused was made by the majority votes of those 501 jurors. Socrates started his defense with the declaration that he would speak the truth. Truth itself and nothing else will make his defense. It is quite ironical that while the trial was attempted by the political motivation, Socrates tried to defend himself by having the truth speak itself. First Socrates tried to divide the accusers into two groups, the new accusers and the old ones. The latter was, according Socrates, the prejudices about Socrates implanted in the minds of the jurors by many when the jurors were quite young. Believing that it would be more difficult to remove such prejudices, Socrates first attempted to refute the old preconceived ideas about Socrates. According to Socrates, the old accusations (prejudices) about him were that Socrates was thought of being a criminal, indulging in the investigation of things on the Earth and in the Heaven and a clever speaker, making a weaker argument stronger and teaching the same to others (p. 425). In short, Socrates was considered as one of the sophists. Plato's consistent efforts throughout the Dialogue were directed to repudiate this misconceptions of Socrates' being a sophist. On the outset, Socrates declared that he was not interested in eloquence, i.e., winning an argument by making his argument appear stronger, but was always and solely interested in truth and the whole truth = knowledge. Socrates never claimed to possess "wisdom" to give away or impart to others, nor to be a teacher of such "wisdom." Socrates said
