Aristarchus was the first person known to have challenged the long standing belief in the Geocentric Universe. After Aristarchus's death, the belief was never examined too closely until many years later by Copernicus. The idea that the Earth was not the center of the universe disturbed many people, and one man from Aristarchus's time, Cleanthes, wrote a treatise called " Against Aristarchus " , accusing Aristarchus of impiety. Evidence of how exactly Aristarchus's belief in the Heliocentric Universe originated is almost non-existent. Most of the time, it is found referenced by Archimedes and Plutarch. All information about [Aristarchus comes] from a handful of [different] references in Classical writers, plus a short [work] of his which does not mention heliocentrism. Some people have said that it could have been the fact that the mass of the Sun was greater than that of Earth, therefore making it seem odd that such a large 'celestial body' would orbit the sun every day. To explain the rotation of the stars through the sky, Aristarchus referred to Heraclides of Pontus's belief that it was due to the Earth's axial rotation. Many disagreed with this theory because of the lack of

CHAPTER I THE MANIFOLD MEANINGS OF EXPERIENCE AND THE IDEA OF TRUTH JEAN GREISCH A well-known anecdote of Heraclides of Pontus suggests that Pythagoras was the first Greek thinker who called himself a "philosopher." The main passage, whose authenticity has been a subject of controversy until today, is the following: "Few are those who have received the gift to contemplate the most beautiful things. These humans are called ‘philosophers’ ( philosophoi ) and not ‘wise men’ ( sophoi ), for nobody is wise besides God." Does Pythagoras speak here, as Robert Joly suggests, or an anonymous Platonist, as Werner Jaeger and Walter Burkert think? In fact, there exists a strange familiarity between this statement and similar passages in Platon, for instance the following: "Among the gods, no one endeavours to philosophize ( philosopheî ), no one wants to become wise ( sophos ), because he is already wise." This statement echoes the definition of the philosopher we read in the dialogue Phaedron : "To call him wise," says Socrates, "is, at least in my opinion, excessive which suits only a god. But to call him ‘philosopher’ (

48. Roman Stoicism (Chapter 8: The Universe) of Syracuse, a Pythagorean philosopher, whose views were quoted with approval by Theophrastus, and later Ecphantus the Pythagorean, and heraclides of pontus. http://www.geocities.com/stoicvoice/journal/0603/ea0603b2.htm

Roman Stoicism (Chapter 8: The Universe) by E. Vernon Arnold (1857 - 1926) Showing the motion of all the planets, he must have been aware of its superior simplicity. Nevertheless he opposed it vigorously on theological grounds, and perhaps more than any other man was responsible for its being pushed aside for some 1500 years. The precise ground of the objection is not made very clear to us, and probably it was instinctive rather than reasoned. It could hardly be deemed impious to place the sun, whom the Stoics acknowledged as a deity, in the center of the universe; but that the earth should be reckoned merely as one of his attendant planets was humiliating to human self-esteem, and jeopardized the doctrine of Providence, in accordance with which the universe was created for the happiness of gods and men only. Air on its downward path changes to water. This change is described as due to loss of heat, and yet water too has some heat and vitality. Even earth, the lowest and grossest of the elements, contains a share of the divine heat; otherwise it could not feed living plants and animals, much less send up exhalation with which to feed the sun and stars. Thus we may say even of a stone that it has a part of the divinity in it. Here then we see the reverse side of the so-called Stoic materialism. If it is true that God is body, and that the soul is body, it is equally true that even water, the damp and cold element, and earth, the dry and cold element, are both penetrated by the divinity, by the creative fire without the operation of which both would fall in an instant into nothingness.

50. Macellum - Culinaria Archaelogica Festschrift Robert Fleischer heraclides of pontus says that the mues that are numerous in the sanctuary are also considered sacred and that therefore the wooden statue is made standing on http://www.archaeologie-sachbuch.de/Fleischer/Texte/Donohue1.htm

A LICE A. D ONOHUE Ex Oriente Mus Dear Professor Fleischer! It is a pleasure to have this opportunity to honor your achievements and to thank you for many kindnesses over many years. Since some of our work as colleagues involved editorial projects, I hope that you will accept an aparche harvested by the blue pencil rather than by the word processor. The editors of the present volume entrusted me with the preparation of the following contribution, which was submitted anonymously. The writer of the essay that lies before you remains unknown. As no work published during the past twenty-odd years seems to be cited, despite the author's obvious enthusiasm for the subject, we must admit the sad possibility that the manuscript was sent by some friend or relative on behalf of a long-deceased scholar. All inquiries to some dozens of colleagues having met with the most vehement denials of any knowledge whatsoever of writer or work, it has proved impossible to determine the identity of the author. I give here the original text, documentary apparatus, and illustrations; such editorial supplements as seemed appropriate appear in brackets. The Symbolon of Apollo Smintheus One of the unsolved problems in the history of Greek sculpture is the image of Apollo Smintheus in Chryse, in the Troad. The evidence for this statue includes both detailed literary accounts and (it has been claimed) representations on coins, as well as information from the excavation of the sanctuary. But there are inconsistencies in this evidence, and no convincing synthesis of the various sources has been reached. I shall concentrate here on the form and placement of the symbolon. The chief evidence for the statue consists of two literary passages. The earlier of these is Strabo XIII.1.48 C 604:

53. The Early Modern Construction Of Space Several posit a moving earth and/or a heliocentric universe (eg, the Pythagoreans 5th c., heraclides of pontus 4th c., and Aristarchus of Samos 3rd c http://www2.centenary.edu/forbidden/shelbur1.htm

Note: The following is the text of a talk and slide show delivered at Centenary College several years ago as part of an interdisciplinary series called "Project Space." The paper bears the marks of its origin, and I have made no attempt to reshape the text into a formal essay, nor have I supplied a bibliography (though you should ask if you'd like specific references). Certain points in the text clearly call for illustrations (provided by the slides accompanying the original talk); again, ask if you'd like to see a specific image. This talk represents one of the origins of the "History of Ideas Online" Internet course, offered jointly by Centenary College, Mississippi State University, and San Francisco State University, and its structure reflects that course's organization. The Early Modern Construction of Space We know space, any space, from the ways in which we describe it. But we are taught our descriptions: the circle, square, rectangle, ellipse, cone, and so on, may exist in nature (I'm not saying that there's nothing out there), but we first learn to recognize these shapes and we then find them in the world because we have the labels. This means that we create, or construct, the space we perceive through our descriptions. These descriptions, these ways of seeing, these "constructions" are cultural products. And in certain places and at certain times, powerful new descriptions emerge that change the way a culture sees the world. Many, perhaps most, of the descriptions of space that we in the West still use today were first invented in what has come to be called the "early modern period," roughly the 14th through the 17th centuries. We used to call this period the Renaissance, meaning, literally, a period of "rebirth" and especially of renewed interest in ancient Greco-Roman culture. We regarded the period as mainly backward-looking. The shift to the term "early modern" indicates a new emphasis on this period's connections not with the past, but rather with the future, with us.

Authors born between 1450 and 1500 CE Erasmus Machiavelli Wang Yang-ming [ Copernicus ] More Vives Rabelais Click Up For A Summary Of Each Author Contents Introduction The Decision To Publish The Reason For A New System The Mobility Of The Earth ... Source Introduction Nicolaus Copernicus (Mikolaj Kopernik) was born in Torun, Poland, in 1473. His uncle, Bishop Watzenrode, arranged for his university education. He studied liberal arts, mathematics and optics at the University of Krakow, canon law at Bologna, and medicine at Padua. At Bologna he worked on astronomical measurements with a mathematics professor, Domenico Maria de Novara, and became aware of the inaccuracies inherent in Ptolemaic predictions of the motion of the planets. He received his doctorate in Italy in 1503.On his return from Italy, where the notion that the earth revolved around the sun was being discussed, he attempted to test the concept by means of observation. He returned to become canon of Frauenberg in 1512, but was not an ordained priest. He was occupied instead with administrative and political affairs and with providing medical assistance to local citizens. In 1514 he was asked his views on reform of the calendar developed by Julius Ceasar, to bring it back into synchrony with the solar year. In 1517 he put forward a plan for reform of the currency. He began his major work on the heliocentric view of the solar system ( The Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres ) at about this time, publishing a brief popular account in 1530. This was circulated widely, and eventually was the subject of a lecture given in Rome. Pope Clement II approved of the ideas expressed and transmitted a request via the Polish Cardinal that the ideas be published in full. A complete text of Copernicus’ work was published in 1543, shortly before his sudden death in May of that year. Copernicus himself remarked on the long time it took him to complete this work. It is worth noting that although the concept is relatively simple, the development of the theory mathematically—given the need to research ancient records of doubtful accuracy—could extend over a long period for somebody working only in their spare time.

55. Hoaxes Sophocles. He showed it to his rival, the more widely read and more pompous heraclides of pontus, who declared it to be genuine. Later http://www.warwick.ac.uk/staff/S.Reimers/hoaxes.html

GOTCHA! Science, scientists and the art of the perfect hoax Stian Reimers 20 September, 2002 Now that's scientific fact. There is no real evidence for it but it's scientific fact. Abstract Introduction Hoaxes are mischievous acts designed to poke fun at a person or group, to satirise an aspect of society, or to critique the values that let people believe them. The vast majority are playful fun, a diversion from everyday concerns, causing little more trouble than a small amount of wasted time and a slightly bruised ego. However, some are able to bring about upheaval and political change, be it rightly or wrongly. People have been playing hoaxes for millennia. Schnabel (1994) cites an example from around 350BC. A Greek philosopher called Dionysus wrote the Parthenopaeus, which he claimed was a lost work of Sophocles. He showed it to his rival, the more widely read and more pompous Heraclides of Pontus, who declared it to be genuine. Later, when Dionysus revealed it to be a work of his own, which he had written specifically to mock his enemy, Heraclides refused to believe it. He changed his mind fairly rapidly, though, when Dionysus showed that the initial letters of each line spelled ‘Heraclides is ignorant of letters’. Unfortunately, the response of the first recorded hoax victim is not recorded. Hoaxes occur in all areas of life and work. There are famous literary frauds, like the Howard Hughes autobiography or the Hitler diaries. There are fake Vermeers in the art world, mock-documentaries on television, false stories about historical events, and a lot of entirely fictitious articles in the mass media. But in this dissertation I will concentrate on science. Science has all the right components for a good hoax – credulous people with fairly rigid thought processes, creative mischief-makers, confusing terminology, and a sense of authority that makes an pronouncement using its name almost automatically unchallengable, certainly to much of the population.

This font can be downloaded from www.perseus.tufts.edu ABSTRACT: This paper discusses certain aspects of the philosophy of education developed by the second century Christian writer Clement of Alexandria. Special attention is given to the place of his philosophy in the context of both pagan and Christian philosophical and theological movements as they relate to the Neopythagorean tradition that was revived in the first century. Introductory remarks Tracing treks of specific philosophic schools in the mixture of different intellectual traditions of the first and second centuries AD is a kind of a task which both extremely rewarding and notoriously difficult. It is rewarding, for the treks if found contribute greatly to our understanding of philosophic paths of the individual figures, especially when direct evidence, and this is usually the case, is scarce and scattered all over different sources. But on the other hand, detective search for clues in order to highlight possible sources of a given author is a dangerous adventure which may easily lead to misunderstanding. For oblique clues and 'striking similarities' while (given limited amount of evidence) prove nothing, can turn search in a direction which brings the whole thing to the dead end. But

Annotated Bibliography for Catastrophism: Astronomy, Archaeoastronomy, and Ethnoastronomy Allen, Richard Hinckley. Star Names, Their Lore and Meaning. Dover Publications Inc., New York, 1963. Allen's book was originally published in 1899 under the title Star Names and Their Meanings. Allen provides a history of the literary and mythological uses of the stars and constellations, including the history of the lunar and solar zodiacs, the legends associated with various constellations and star groups, and the history of astrology. Since the original publication of this book predates important astronomical discoveries from the Near and Far East, it is rather dated. However, the discussions are still enjoyable. Aveni, Anthony F. Skywatchers of Ancient Mexico. University of Texas Press, Austin, Texas, 1980. Aveni provides a good overview of Pre-Columbian astronomy in Mesoamerica. It is useful to compare Aveni's treatment of the Venus observations in the Dresden codex with his later much more illuminating interpretations in Conversing with the Planets . Aveni notes that a number of Mesoamerican buildings were constructed with Venus orientations which indicate that the orbit of Venus was the same as at present in the first and second millenia A.D., contrary to expectations of some Velikovskians that Venus might still be settling into its current orbit after an extended period as a "comet."

Nor is it possible to pinpoint where exactly he came from and the land where he first preached his truly extra ordinary faith. Nonetheless the first step in studying this "earliest of the great prophets" is to ascertain his origins, both geographically and chronologically. The available evidence, however, is either grossly misleading, or clearly inadequate. We have two distinct bodies of evidence, which can be classified as "the old" and "the new". The former is based on the classical, Byzantine, and non-Gathic Zoroastrian literature, and the latter on the recent archaeological excavations and the Gathas. THE OLD BODY OF EVIDENCE We now know that the old body of evidence is based more on legend than fact. Nonetheless, their significance cannot be underrated because the majority of the modern Zoroastrians still believe in the legendary origins of their great prophet.
