Fairbanks's Introduction
Pythagoras, son of Mnesarchos, a native of Samos, left his fatherland to escape the tyranny of Polykrates (533/2 or 529/8 B.C.). He made his home for many years in Kroton in southern Italy, where his political views gained control in the city. At length he and his followers were banished by an opposing party, and he died at Metapontum. Many stories are told of his travels into Egypt and more widely, but there is no evidence on which the stories can be accepted. He was a mystic thinker and religious reformer quite as much as a philosopher, but there is no reason for denying that the doctrines of the school originated with him. Of his disciples, Archytas, in southern Italy, and Philolaos and Lysis, at Thebes, are the best known. It is the doctrine of the school, not the teaching of Pythagoras himself, which is known to us through the writings of Aristotle.

Antoine Danchin, translation Alison Quayle)
French version In the 6th Century BCE, Greater Greece stretched west all they way to Sicily and southern Italy. At this time its western colonies were suddenly reinvigorated by an influx of refugees chased out of Ionia by the conquering Persians. Pythagoras , who was born on the island of Samos some time before 550 BCE, at a time when the whole of eastern Greece was becoming unsafe, settled at Croton in Sicily, probably before 520 BCE. A great many legends soon sprang up around this mysterious figure. By the end of the 5th Century BCE there was no longer any reliable source of information on the life and works of Pythagoras or his immediate successors. What is clear is the reason behind this mystery: it lies in the doctrine itself and the teaching methods of the man who was called the Master. Nothing Pythagoras taught was to be written down or divulged to the uninitiated, and even the disciples were divided into two classes, the

The time when Proclus was a youth was a time of religious/political tensions between Christian establishment and the Hellenes, who were those who followed the traditional Greek religiosity. Note, also, that much of the world was dominated by Greek Culture due to the conquests Alexander the Great ( 356 to 323 BC), resulting in close cultural connections between Egypt and Greece Alexandria was named for Alexander the Great.

The Democratic foundation established by the ancient Greeks Abstract: Our integrated project blends the subjects of math and history. Since two of our group members never bothered to show up these are the only two subjects we will be covering, with the two history majors focusing on religion and government respectively. The math portion will focus on famous Greek mathematicians. With the help of a special education major, we will alter the plan to cater to the needs of special needs students.
I plan to use the week to explain how the ancient Greeks introduced a democratic form of government. This was a revolutionary form of rule in a world of dictators and tyrants. Throughout the week the class will learn about the origins of Greek democracy and its prominent figures. We will then compare and contrast the Greek form of democracy to the one used in our own government. We will also be discussing the possible reasons why democracy failed in Greece and if it seems possible for the United States to suffer the same fate. Names and Majors of the Team Members:
  • Clint Shewmaker- History Education Brandon Schoenman- History Education Jose Gonzalez- Mathematics Education Tom Witschi- Special Education
Subjects Integrated:
  • History/ Government: The Democratic foundation established by the ancient Greeks History: Greek Gods Math: The Mathematical foundations that was built by the Greeks
Objectives:
  • Upon completion of this lesson, participating students will be able to note five key similarities between the ancient Greek democracy and the democracy of the United States.

Version for printing
Very little is known about the life of Oenopides of Chios except that his place of birth was the island of Chios. We believe that Oenopides was in Athens when a young man but there is only circumstantial evidence for this. In Plato 's Erastae Oenopides is described as (see for example [1]):- ... having acquired a reputation for mathematics... and Plato also describes a scene where Socrates comes across two young men in the school of Dionysius who was Plato 's teacher. The young men were discussing a question in mathematical astronomy which had been tackled by Oenopides and Anaxagoras . This question was certainly that of the angle that the ecliptic makes with the celestial equator . Bulmer-Thomas writes in [1]:- ... it was probably Oenopides who settled on the value of , which was accepted in Greece until refined by Eratosthenes . Indeed, if Oenopides did not fix on this or some other figure it is difficult to know in what his achievement consisted, for the Babylonians no less than the Pythagoreans and Egyptians must have realised from early days that the apparent path of the sun was inclined to the celestial equator.
