Webfestschrift Marshak 2003 [index] Transoxiana Colonization of the Black Sea by the Ancient Greeks and its Ecological Consequences Igor V. Bondyrev Peculiarity of geographic position and abundance of natural resources as well as unusual situation in home policy of Greece itself, complicated by the beginning of ecological crisis in regional ecosystems in Ancient Greece, all these made separate city-states to seek new sources for revenue on the coast of the Golden Fleece (Pontus). Since 11-10 centuries B.C. there began single sails of the Greeks to north, as a result of which there had been gained some information on the affluence of this land and the most suitable routes for sail were established In the middle of 8 century B.C., having penetrated through the Bosporus, first colonists founded three main city- factoryas: on the south-west coast Appolonya (oikist Anaksimandr), on the south - Sinopa ( Fessailians and Milletians) and Heraklya. At the end of 8 century B.C. on the very east of Pontus there appeared another colony - Apsar (modern Gonio) Miletians by birth played primary role in colonization of western coasts of the Black Sea in 8-7 centuries B.C. who founded Fasis and Amis on eastern coasts (close to modern Samsun), and Athenians founded (Guenes, Dioskurya)

152. Stoicism [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy] of the system of ethics, popular in ancient greece, which has physics as its foundation....... http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/s/stoicism.htm

Stoicism Table of Contents (Clicking on the links below will take you to that part of this article) General Description Stoic Logic Stoic Physics Stoic Ethics General Description The term "Stoicism" derives from the Greek word "stoa," referring to a colonnade, such as those built outside or inside temples, around dwelling-houses, gymnasia, and market-places. They were also set up separately as ornaments of the streets and open places. The simplest form is that of a roofed colonnade, with a wall on one side, which was often decorated with paintings. Thus in the market-place at Athens the stoa poikile (Painted Colonnade) was decorated with Polygnotus's representations of the destruction of Troy, the fight of the Athenians with the Amazons, and the battles of Marathon and Oenoe. Zeno of Citium taught in the stoa poikile in Athens, and his adherents accordingly obtained the name of Stoics. Zeno was followed by Cleanthes, and then by Chrysippus, as leaders of the school. The school attracted many adherents, and flourished for centuries, not only in Greece, but later in Rome, where the most thoughtful writers, such as Marcus Aurelius, Seneca, and Epictetus, counted themselves among its followers. We know little for certain as to what share particular Stoics, Zeno, Cleanthes, or Chrysippus, had in the formation of the doctrines of the school, But after Chryssipus the main lines of the doctrine were complete. The stoic doctrine is divided into three parts: logic, physics, and ethics. Stoicism is essentially a system of ethics which, however, is guided by a logic as theory of method, and rests upon physics as foundation. Briefly, their notion of morality is stern, involving a life in accordance with nature and controlled by virtue. It is an ascetic system, teaching perfect indifference (

THE AGENDA OF THE MILESIAN SCHOOL: THE POST-CATASTROPHIC PARADIGM SHIFT IN ANCIENT GREECE William Mullen Bard College, Annandal-onHudson, New York 12505, USA e-mail: mullen@bard.edu Topics held in common by the first three pre-Socratic philosophers from Miletos in the Sixth Century B.C.E., Thales, Anaximander, and Anaximenes, and by Xenophanes from neighbouring Colophon, taken together may be viewed as constituting the agenda of a "Milesian School". The agenda included a survey of the known kosmos (the orderly arrangement of the inhabited world surrounded by regularly moving heavenly bodies); redefinitions of divinity; and theories of the natural processes, constantly in operation, by which both kosmos and divinity are to be understood. It also included explanations of phenomena most men deemed terrifying: thunder, lightning, earthquakes, eclipses, and periodic destruction of the kosmos itself. It set about to explain these phenomena in terms of the same elemental processes (transformations of water, rarefaction and condensation of air, separating out of fire, air, WILLIAM MULLEN is Professor of Classical Studies at Bard College, and is the author of

157. Humboldt's Essay On Ancient Greece Read about the decline and fall of the Greek city states. http://geocities.com/patnoble52/humboldt.html

Humboldt's Essays on the Greeks, in English for the First Time! The page contains the first ever complete English translations of Wilhelm von Humboldt's essays on the Greeks, which were published posthumously (some excerpts have been translated). Nothing of this nature and beauty exists otherwise in the English language on the subject of classical antiquity and the Greeks in particular. More is being added as it is translated. Not to be quoted without the translator's permission. patnoble52@yahoo.com. 1. On the Character of the Greeks, The Ideal and Historical View of the Same 2. The History of the Decline and Fall of the Greek Republics (1808) 3. Pindar (1796) Translator's note: This essay is a very condensed, sketchy overview of Humboldt's thoughts on the Greeks, and should be fleshed out by reading his other essays. 1. On the Character of the Greeks, The Ideal and Historical view of the Same I. The Greeks are not merely a people useful for us to know historically, but an ideal. Their virtues over us are of the type, that their unattainableness makes it directly useful and beneficial for us to imitate their works, to harken back to their free and beautiful situation in our mind and soul, which are depressed by our dull and narrow situation.

University of Arizona Women's Studies Department WS200 Women and Western Culture WS200 Webpage Project Educated Women in Ancient Society Education has always been an important factor in all societies. Throughout the lands bordering the Mediterranean, women in antiquity were always somewhat educated, regardless of their rank in society. We have chosen to place our focus on women in Greece, Egypt, and Italy. We have defined the meaning of education of the times, discussed female philosophers and poets, and discussed the roles women had within the priesthood. As part of the Women and Western Culture classes at the University of Arizona, students are required to research various topics and create webpapers. Our group is reporting on the Education of Women in the Mediterranean- We've divided our topic into the following categories: The Perception of Education in the Ancient World Education of women of the middle and upper classes Women in Religion ... Female Poets in Antiquity This Website was compiled and presented by: Lilian Quintero Hilaree Lore Nora Brown Megan Geisler ...

160. Symposium [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy] Drinkingparties in ancient greece where the guests reclined on couches, and were crowned with garlands of flowers. http://www.utm.edu/research/iep/s/symposiu.htm

Symposium "Symposium" is the Greek term for a drinking-party. The symposium must be distinguished from the deipnon ; for though drinking almost always followed a dinner-party, yet the former was regarded as entirely distinct from the latter, was regulated by different customs, and frequently received the addition of many guests who were not present at the dinner. For the Greeks did not usually drink at their dinner, and it was not until the conclusion of the meal that wine was introduced. Symposia were very frequent at Athens. Their enjoyment was heightened by agreeable conversation, by the introduction of music and dancing, and by games and amusements of various kinds; sometimes, too, philosophical subjects were discussed at them. The Symposia of Plato and Xenophon give us a lively idea of such entertainments at Athens. The name itself shows that the enjoyment of drinking was the main object of the symposia: wine from the juice of the grape ( oinos ampelinos ) was the only drink partaken of by the Greeks, with the exception of water. The wine was almost invariably mixed with water, and to drink it unmixed (
