Greek Philosophy: Socrates - 0 views

  • The growing power of Athens had frightened other Greek states for years before the Peloponnesian War broke out in 431. During the war, Pericles died in the plague of Athens
  • Alcibiades, a pupil of the Athenian teacher, Socrates, to send a huge force to Sicily in an attempt to take over some of the cities there. This expedition was destroyed in 413. Nevertheless Athens continued the war.
  • Socrates (469-399), despite his foundational place in the history of ideas, actually wrote nothing. Most of our knowledge of him comes from the works of Plato (427-347), and since Plato had other concerns in mind than simple historical accuracy it is usually impossible to determine how much of his thinking actually derives from Socrates.

Greco-Roman Cults, Sects and Schools - ReligionFacts - 0 views

  • Many, perhaps most, ancient Greeks and Romans did not belong to any particular sect. The average person in the ancient world would likely worship the local city god, participate in the Roman imperial cult, honor the patron god of a profession, and pay special devotion to whichever deity seems most appealing or likely to help with a particular concern. But there were also a number of special religious or philosophical groups in the ancient world to which one could belong. For example, an upper-class person might be drawn to a philosophy like Stoicism or Epicureanism, a Roman soldier might be initiated into Mithraism, and a person of any rank might be a special devotee of Dionysus. These specific cults, sects and schools are explored in this section.

Greek mythology - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - 0 views

  • Greek mythology is the body of myths and legends belonging to the ancient Greeks concerning their gods and heroes, the nature of the world, and the origins and significance of their own cult and ritual practices. They were a part of religion in ancient Greece. Modern scholars refer to the myths and study them in an attempt to throw light on the religious and political institutions of Ancient Greece, its civilization, and to gain understanding of the nature of myth-making itself.[1]
  • Greek mythology is embodied explicitly in a large collection of narratives and implicitly in representational arts, such as vase-paintings and votive gifts. Greek myth explains the origins of the world and details the lives and adventures of a wide variety of gods, goddesses, heroes, heroines, and other mythological creatures. These accounts initially were disseminated in an oral-poetic tradition; today the Greek myths are known primarily from Greek literature.
  • Greek mythology has changed over time to accommodate the evolution of their culture, of which mythology, both overtly and in its unspoken assumptions, is an index of the changes. In Greek mythology's surviving literary forms, as found mostly at the end of the progressive changes, is inherently political, as Gilbert Cuthbertson has urged
