The Greek World
5
Trade=middle class
Ethnē
There were four major ethnē into
which the Ancient Greeks, or
Hellenes, of the Classical period
considered themselves divided.
Doric, Aeolians, Acheans, Ionians
NEVER A CENTRALIZED EMPIRE
But spoke the same language.
(distinct from the “Barbarians” to
the north”
6
Polis
Not like other primordial ancient city-states which
were ruled by a king or a small oligarchy, but
rather a political entity ruled by its body of
citizens.
The body of citizens came to be the most
important meaning of the term polis in ancient
Greece as a polis.
Each polis had a different and unique
constitution..
7
Democracy
Cleisthenes, Father of Athenian
Democracy
Human centered, participatory
Liberal Arts “Free Skills”
knowledge for a good citizen
New Concept of Citizens however…
Democracy for citizens only
Slavery was common and acceptable
Athens: 30,000 citizens
10,000 foreigners (metics)
200,000 other ( women, slaves,
children)
Arete
"The most articulated value in Greek
culture is Areté. Translated as
"virtue," the word actually means
something closer to "being the best
you can be," or "reaching your
highest human potential.”
The man or woman of Areté is a
person of the highest effectiveness;
they use all their faculties: strength,
bravery, wit, and deceptiveness, to
achieve real results.
In the Homeric world, then, Areté
involves all of the abilities and
potentialities available to humans.
The concept implies a human-
centered universe in which
human actions are of paramount
importance; the world is a place
of conflict and difficulty, and
human value and meaning is
measured against individual
effectiveness in the world.
9
Olympiad
776 BCE
Greek history begins.
The historian Ephorus, is believed to
have established the use of Olympiads
to count years.
The Olympic Games were held at 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.
Previously, every Greek state used its
own dating system, something that
continued for local events, which led to
confusion when trying to determine
dates.
Banned 394 CE (pagan
festivity)
Reinstituted in 1894
10
Athens vs. Sparta
Sparta:
•Individual stripped of Individuality
•Garrison State
•Enslaved population (Helots)
•Autarchy (no trade)
•Whoever shouts the loudest wins
Athens
•Port city=Trade
•Active political involvement for
Citizens
•Slaves, but not as brutal as
Spartan (more like domestic
servants)
11
Athens vs. Persia
Democracy vs. Authority
Political involvement was a
personal responsibility.
Pericles:
Just because you do not take
an interest in politics doesn't
mean politics won't take an
interest in you.
Battle of Salamis-
12
Greek Society
Patriarchal
PATRI ( Father) dominates
Society is Homo “Social”
Men did not marry until 30, and
then their wives were 12-16
years old
Women seldom left the house.
Symposium
All-Male party
Except for…..
Hetaerae
“companians”
14
Hetaera
Men did not marry until they were thirty
or so and with such little opportunity to
see let alone chat with respectable
citizen women outside their immediate
family, it is perhaps understandable that
prostitution was an important part of
their life, and the many men who came
without families from the various Greek
colonies to seek employment in
prosperous Athens helped to make the
sex trade a major industry. Prostitution
was legal and morally acceptable.
In an age and society where
“respectable” women were entirely
dependent on the men in their life, a
talented hetaera was able to live on her
own terms and accumulate enough
money to live in style and comfort.

15
Titans
A race of powerful deities,
descendants of Gaia (earth) and
Uranus (sky), that ruled during the
legendary Golden Age.
The Titans were overthrown by a
race of younger gods, the
Olympians, in the Titanomachy
("War of the Titans") which effected
a mythological paradigm shift that
the Greeks may have borrowed
from the Ancient Near East.
16
Olympians
The principal deities of the Greek
pantheon, residing atop Mount
Olympus.
The Olympians gained their
supremacy in a war of gods in
which Zeus led his siblings to
victory over the Titans.
The Olympic Gods acted and
looked human.
17
Gigantomachy
A struggle for control
Olympians vs. Progenitors (Chaos)
An idea of civilization as “progress”.
18
Implications:
Animism is Over
Centaur (right)
Satyr (below)
Animals are seen as without reason,
Acting on impulse, instinct. Usually
sexual and violent.
19
Implications:
Animism is Over
Nature and Man are distinct
Man must overcome his animal side
through the instrument of civilization
Theseus slaying the Minotaur.
20

important (Classical Age), only
believed by the underclass.
Skepticism
Epistemology-
a theory of knowledge based on
direct observation
34
Forces exist in
OPPOSITION to MAN
Fate
Natural Chaos
Humans more orderly than Nature
In a Human centered world, matter is
liberated from Spirit, acts IMPERSONALLY
Should remind us of Egyptian concept of Chaos vs Order
Greeks focus more on the human rather
than divine role in preventing chaos/
35
What is Real in a World that
is Constantly Changing?
What is Reality and What is
Appearance?
Heraclitus:
Can you step in the same river
twice?
36
Socrates
Credited as one of the founders of
Western philosophy, he is an
enigmatic figure known chiefly
through the accounts of later
classical writers, especially the
writings of his student Plato.
Socratic method, or elenchus.
37
Socrates
Elenchus
A commonly used tool in a wide
range of discussions, and is a type
of pedagogy in which a series of
questions are asked not only to
draw individual answers, but also to
encourage fundamental insight into
the issue at hand.
The “Socratic Method”
38
“Critical Thinking” is
Dangerous
Rather than upholding a status quo
and accepting the development of
what he perceived as immorality
within his region, Socrates
questioned the collective notion of
"might makes right" that he felt was
common in Greece during this
period.
Plato refers to Socrates as the
"gadfly" of the state (as the gadfly
stings the horse into action, so
Socrates stung various Athenians),
insofar as he irritated some people
with considerations of justice and the
pursuit of goodness.
His attempts to improve the
Athenians' sense of justice may have
been the source of his execution.
Plato was skeptical of DEMOCRACY
(saw it as mob rule)
What can Democracy do well?
Where does it lack ?
39
Plato
He who sees with his eyes is blind-
this idea is most famously captured in
his allegory of the cave.
The allegory of the cave is a
paradoxical analogy wherein Socrates
argues that the invisible world is the
most intelligible ("noeton") and that the
visible world ("(h)oraton") is the least
knowable, and the most obscure.
40
Aristotle
Interested in observable specific
reality rather than abstract ideas.
Aristotle disagreed with Plato,
arguing that all universals are
instantiated. For Aristotle, there are
no universals that are unattached
to existing things.
41
The Universe Has Order
and Makes Sense:
Great chain of being
The central concept of the chain of
being is that everything imaginable fits
into it somewhere (hierarchy), giving
order and meaning to the universe.
42
Plato=Universals
Aristotle=Particulars
43
Pottery
Pottery was made of terra cotta
(earthenware material) which
may or may not be glazed
Black-figure pottery was
popular.
Figures were painted in black
Details were incised with a
sharp tool, exposing the
orange clay below
Vase was fired to turn the
painted figures black and the
surface areas orange
Red-figure vases involved
reversal of this process
Hydria: water jug with 3
handles: two for lifting and the
top for pouring
Lekythos: flask for pouring oil
Krater: bowl for mixing wine
and water
Amphora: vessel for storing
olive oil, wine, honey, or water
Kylix: drinking cup
Oenachoe: jug for pouring wine
46
Geometric krater, from the Dipylon
cemetery, Athens, Greece, ca. 740
BCE. 3’ 4 1/2” high. Metropolitan
Museum of Art, New York.
Geometric Style
The main scene, which occupies the widest
portion of the vase, shows the prothesis, a
ritual in ancient Greek funerary practice in
which the deceased is laid out on a high bed
(bier), usually within the house.
During the prothesis, relatives and friends
may come to mourn and pay their respects to
the deceased. Here, the figure seated at the
foot of the bier may be the dead man's wife,
and the smaller figure on her lap their child.
Emphasis on surviving mourners.
Death is mysterious-no real afterlife.
47

Krater has no bottom- all libations spill into the
earth.

71
NUDITY
Ancient Greece had a particular
fascination for aesthetics, which was
also reflected in clothing or lack
thereof. Sparta had rigorous codes of
training and physical exercise in the
nude. Athletes would compete in the
nude in public sporting events. Spartan
women, as well as men, would
sometimes be nude in public
processions and festvals.
Nudity=Heroic
Large penis=animalistic, barbaric
Small penis is more civilized

GREECE part 1 de Beaufort

  • 2. 2
  • 3. 3
  • 6. Ethnē There were four major ethnē into which the Ancient Greeks, or Hellenes, of the Classical period considered themselves divided. Doric, Aeolians, Acheans, Ionians NEVER A CENTRALIZED EMPIRE But spoke the same language. (distinct from the “Barbarians” to the north” 6
  • 7. Polis Not like other primordial ancient city-states which were ruled by a king or a small oligarchy, but rather a political entity ruled by its body of citizens. The body of citizens came to be the most important meaning of the term polis in ancient Greece as a polis. Each polis had a different and unique constitution.. 7
  • 8. Democracy Cleisthenes, Father of Athenian Democracy Human centered, participatory Liberal Arts “Free Skills” knowledge for a good citizen New Concept of Citizens however… Democracy for citizens only Slavery was common and acceptable Athens: 30,000 citizens 10,000 foreigners (metics) 200,000 other ( women, slaves, children)
  • 9. Arete "The most articulated value in Greek culture is Areté. Translated as "virtue," the word actually means something closer to "being the best you can be," or "reaching your highest human potential.” The man or woman of Areté is a person of the highest effectiveness; they use all their faculties: strength, bravery, wit, and deceptiveness, to achieve real results. In the Homeric world, then, Areté involves all of the abilities and potentialities available to humans. The concept implies a human- centered universe in which human actions are of paramount importance; the world is a place of conflict and difficulty, and human value and meaning is measured against individual effectiveness in the world. 9
  • 10. Olympiad 776 BCE Greek history begins. The historian Ephorus, is believed to have established the use of Olympiads to count years. The Olympic Games were held at 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. Previously, every Greek state used its own dating system, something that continued for local events, which led to confusion when trying to determine dates. Banned 394 CE (pagan festivity) Reinstituted in 1894 10
  • 11. Athens vs. Sparta Sparta: •Individual stripped of Individuality •Garrison State •Enslaved population (Helots) •Autarchy (no trade) •Whoever shouts the loudest wins Athens •Port city=Trade •Active political involvement for Citizens •Slaves, but not as brutal as Spartan (more like domestic servants) 11
  • 12. Athens vs. Persia Democracy vs. Authority Political involvement was a personal responsibility. Pericles: Just because you do not take an interest in politics doesn't mean politics won't take an interest in you. Battle of Salamis- 12
  • 13. Greek Society Patriarchal PATRI ( Father) dominates Society is Homo “Social” Men did not marry until 30, and then their wives were 12-16 years old Women seldom left the house.
  • 15. Hetaera Men did not marry until they were thirty or so and with such little opportunity to see let alone chat with respectable citizen women outside their immediate family, it is perhaps understandable that prostitution was an important part of their life, and the many men who came without families from the various Greek colonies to seek employment in prosperous Athens helped to make the sex trade a major industry. Prostitution was legal and morally acceptable. In an age and society where “respectable” women were entirely dependent on the men in their life, a talented hetaera was able to live on her own terms and accumulate enough money to live in style and comfort. http://www.womenintheancientworld.com/prostitutesandhetaeraeinancientathens.htm 15
  • 16. Titans A race of powerful deities, descendants of Gaia (earth) and Uranus (sky), that ruled during the legendary Golden Age. The Titans were overthrown by a race of younger gods, the Olympians, in the Titanomachy ("War of the Titans") which effected a mythological paradigm shift that the Greeks may have borrowed from the Ancient Near East. 16
  • 17. Olympians The principal deities of the Greek pantheon, residing atop Mount Olympus. The Olympians gained their supremacy in a war of gods in which Zeus led his siblings to victory over the Titans. The Olympic Gods acted and looked human. 17
  • 18. Gigantomachy A struggle for control Olympians vs. Progenitors (Chaos) An idea of civilization as “progress”. 18
  • 19. Implications: Animism is Over Centaur (right) Satyr (below) Animals are seen as without reason, Acting on impulse, instinct. Usually sexual and violent. 19
  • 20. Implications: Animism is Over Nature and Man are distinct Man must overcome his animal side through the instrument of civilization Theseus slaying the Minotaur. 20
  • 21. Homer Iliad/Odyssey Epic Oral Poem (memorized) Gods have formed a “Council” Tries to create a “Unified Theory” in the actions of the Gods, a “democracy” of sorts 21
  • 22. Zeus King of the gods and ruler of Mount Olympus; god of the sky and thunder. Symbols include the thunderbolt, eagle, oak tree, scepter and scales. Brother and husband of Hera, although he had many lovers. 22
  • 23. Hera Queen of the gods and the goddess of marriage and family. Symbols include the peacock, pomegranate, crown, cuckoo, lion and cow. Wife and sister of Zeus. Being the goddess of marriage, she frequently tried to get revenge on Zeus' lovers and their children. 23
  • 24. Poseidon Lord of the seas, earthquakes and horses. Symbols include the horse, bull, dolphin and trident. Brother of Zeus and Hades. Married to the Nereid Amphitrite, although, like most male Greek Gods, he had many lovers. 24
  • 25. Demeter Goddess of fertility, agriculture, nature, and the seasons. Symbols include the poppy, wheat, torch, and pig. Her Latin name, Ceres, gave us the word cereal." 25
  • 26. Ares God of war, violence and bloodshed. Symbols include the boar, serpent, dog, vulture, spear and shield. Son of Zeus and Hera, all the other gods (excluding Aphrodite) despised him. His Latin name, Mars, gave us the word "martial." 26
  • 27. Athena Virgin goddess of wisdom, handicrafts, defense and strategic warfare. Symbols include the owl and the olive tree. Daughter of Zeus and the Oceanid Metis, she rose from her father's head fully grown and in full battle armor after he swallowed her mother. 27
  • 28. Apollo God of light, knowledge, music, poetry, prophecy and archery. Symbols include the sun, lyre, bow and arrow, raven, dolphin, wolf, swan and mouse. Twin brother of Artemis. Youngest child of Zeus and Leto. 28
  • 29. Artemis Virgin goddess of the hunt, virginity, childbirth, archery and all animals. Symbols include the moon, deer, hound, she-bear, snake, cypress tree and bow and arrow. Twin sister of Apollo. Eldest child of Zeus and Leto. 29
  • 30. Dionysus God of wine, celebrations and ecstasy. Patron god of the art of theatre. Symbols include the grapevine, ivy, cup, tiger, panther, leopard, dolphin and goat. Son of Zeus and the mortal Theban princess Semele. Married to the Cretan princess Ariadne. The youngest Olympian, as well as the only one to have been born of a mortal woman. 30
  • 31. Aphrodite Goddess of love, beauty, and desire. Symbols include the dove, bird, apple, bee, swan, myrtle and rose. Daughter of Zeus and the Oceanid Dione, or perhaps born from the sea foam after Uranus' blood dripped onto the earth and into the sea after being defeated by his youngest son Cronus. Married to Hephaestus, although she had many adulterous affairs, most notably with Ares. Her name gave us the word "aphrodisiac". 31
  • 32. Hephaistos Master blacksmith and craftsman of the gods; god of fire and the forge. Symbols include fire, anvil, ax, donkey, hammer, tongs and quail. Son of Hera, either by Zeus or alone. After he was born, his parents threw him off Mount Olympus, and he landed on the island of Lemnos. Married to Aphrodite, though unlike most divine husbands, he was rarely ever licentious. His Latin name, Vulcan, gave us the word "volcano." 32
  • 33. Hermes Messenger of the gods; god of commerce and thieves. Symbols include the caduceus (staff entwined with two snakes), winged sandals and cap, stork and tortoise (whose shell he used to invent the lyre). Son of Zeus and the nymph Maia. 33
  • 34. Speculative Philosophy Eventually Myths become less important (Classical Age), only believed by the underclass. Skepticism Epistemology- a theory of knowledge based on direct observation 34
  • 35. Forces exist in OPPOSITION to MAN Fate Natural Chaos Humans more orderly than Nature In a Human centered world, matter is liberated from Spirit, acts IMPERSONALLY Should remind us of Egyptian concept of Chaos vs Order Greeks focus more on the human rather than divine role in preventing chaos/ 35
  • 36. What is Real in a World that is Constantly Changing? What is Reality and What is Appearance? Heraclitus: Can you step in the same river twice? 36
  • 37. Socrates Credited as one of the founders of Western philosophy, he is an enigmatic figure known chiefly through the accounts of later classical writers, especially the writings of his student Plato. Socratic method, or elenchus. 37
  • 38. Socrates Elenchus A commonly used tool in a wide range of discussions, and is a type of pedagogy in which a series of questions are asked not only to draw individual answers, but also to encourage fundamental insight into the issue at hand. The “Socratic Method” 38
  • 39. “Critical Thinking” is Dangerous Rather than upholding a status quo and accepting the development of what he perceived as immorality within his region, Socrates questioned the collective notion of "might makes right" that he felt was common in Greece during this period. Plato refers to Socrates as the "gadfly" of the state (as the gadfly stings the horse into action, so Socrates stung various Athenians), insofar as he irritated some people with considerations of justice and the pursuit of goodness. His attempts to improve the Athenians' sense of justice may have been the source of his execution. Plato was skeptical of DEMOCRACY (saw it as mob rule) What can Democracy do well? Where does it lack ? 39
  • 40. Plato He who sees with his eyes is blind- this idea is most famously captured in his allegory of the cave. The allegory of the cave is a paradoxical analogy wherein Socrates argues that the invisible world is the most intelligible ("noeton") and that the visible world ("(h)oraton") is the least knowable, and the most obscure. 40
  • 41. Aristotle Interested in observable specific reality rather than abstract ideas. Aristotle disagreed with Plato, arguing that all universals are instantiated. For Aristotle, there are no universals that are unattached to existing things. 41
  • 42. The Universe Has Order and Makes Sense: Great chain of being The central concept of the chain of being is that everything imaginable fits into it somewhere (hierarchy), giving order and meaning to the universe. 42
  • 44. Pottery Pottery was made of terra cotta (earthenware material) which may or may not be glazed Black-figure pottery was popular. Figures were painted in black Details were incised with a sharp tool, exposing the orange clay below Vase was fired to turn the painted figures black and the surface areas orange Red-figure vases involved reversal of this process
  • 45. Hydria: water jug with 3 handles: two for lifting and the top for pouring Lekythos: flask for pouring oil Krater: bowl for mixing wine and water Amphora: vessel for storing olive oil, wine, honey, or water Kylix: drinking cup Oenachoe: jug for pouring wine
  • 46. 46 Geometric krater, from the Dipylon cemetery, Athens, Greece, ca. 740 BCE. 3’ 4 1/2” high. Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
  • 47. Geometric Style The main scene, which occupies the widest portion of the vase, shows the prothesis, a ritual in ancient Greek funerary practice in which the deceased is laid out on a high bed (bier), usually within the house. During the prothesis, relatives and friends may come to mourn and pay their respects to the deceased. Here, the figure seated at the foot of the bier may be the dead man's wife, and the smaller figure on her lap their child. Emphasis on surviving mourners. Death is mysterious-no real afterlife. 47

  • 72. NUDITY Ancient Greece had a particular fascination for aesthetics, which was also reflected in clothing or lack thereof. Sparta had rigorous codes of training and physical exercise in the nude. Athletes would compete in the nude in public sporting events. Spartan women, as well as men, would sometimes be nude in public processions and festvals. Nudity=Heroic Large penis=animalistic, barbaric Small penis is more civilized 72
