Dictionaries: General Computing Medical Legal Encyclopedia Hippias Word: Word Starts with Ends with Definition Hippias of Elis , Greek sophist In modern philosophical usage, sophistry is a derogatory term for rhetoric which is designed to appeal to the listener on grounds other than the strict logical validity of the statements being made. Sophistry was originally a term for the techniques taught by a highly respected group of philosophy and rhetoric teachers in ancient Greece. The common modern usage is not necessarily representative of the beliefs of the original Sophists, except that they generally taught Rhetoric. The Sophists are known today only through the writings of their opponents (specifically Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle), which makes it difficult to formulate a complete view of the Sophists' beliefs.

Their name is thought to be derived either from the building in Athens called Cynosarges, the earliest home of the school, or from the Greek word for a dog ( kuon ), in contemptuous allusion to the uncouth and aggressive manners adopted by the members of the school. Whichever of these explanations is correct, it is noticeable that the Cynics agreed in taking a dog as their common badge or symbol, as early as the tombstone of Diogenes of Sinope. From a popular conception of the intellectual characteristics of the school comes the modern sense of "cynic," implying a sneering disposition to disbelieve in the goodness of human motives and a contemptuous feeling of superiority.

Historical Overview of Pi The ancient Babylonians knew of the existence of - the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of any circle . The constant they obtained, 3.125, made use of their knowledge that the perimeter of a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle equals six times the radius of the circle. By using this perimeter of the inscribed hexagon as a lower bound for the circumference of the circle, they were able to come up with their remarkably close approximation for circa 2000 B.C. [2, p.21] During the fith century B.C., Hippias of Elis discovered the quadratrix, a curve which could be used to determine through a geometric construction. Hippias' quadratrix , could be used to "square the circle" although not in a manner acceptable to the ancient Greek (or even modern) geometers. "Squaring the circle" was the problem posed by the ancient Greeks in which a square was to be constructed with area equal to that of a given circle [2, p.40] In the third century B.C., Archimedes of Syracuse, widely accepted as the greatest scientific mind of antiquity, found a method whereby could be determined to any degree of accuracy desired.

Main Page See live article Alphabetical index Hippias Hippias of Elis , Greek sophist , was born about the middle of the 5th century BC and was thus a younger contemporary of Protagoras and Socrates He was a man of great versatility and won the respect of his fellow-citizens to such an extent that he was sent to various towns on important embassies. At Athens he made the acquaintance of Socrates and other leading thinkers. With an assurance characteristic of the later sophists, he claimed to be regarded as an authority on all subjects, and lectured, at all events with financial success, on poetry, grammar, history, politics, archaeology, mathematics and astronomy. He boasted that he was more popular than Protagoras, and was prepared at any moment to deliver an extempore address on any subject to the assembly at Olympia. Of his ability there is no question, but it is equally certain that he was superficial. His aim was not to give knowledge, but to provide his pupils with the weapons of argument, to make them fertile in discussion on all subjects alike. It is said that he boasted of wearing nothing that he had not made with his own hands. Plato's two dialogues, the

29. Greek Olympics According to hippias of elis, who compiled a list of Olympic victors c.400BC, the only event held at the first Olympics was the stadion footrace. http://www.crystalinks.com/greekolympics.html

Greek Olympics Ancient Times The Greeks invented Olympic athletic contests and held them in honor of their gods. But sports and competitions are part of the history and culture of many ancient civilization - including those of Meso- America. In Egypt there had been many findings and glyphs depicting sports events have been found. In ancient Egypt, acrobats, who displayed physical agility and strength, were mainly viewed as performers. Most Egyptian acrobats were women, and they performed alone or in groups. Young Egyptian boys also participated in acrobatics, and played games with hoops. There are 200 wrestling groups depicted on one wall of the tomb at Beni-Hassan. The wrestlers wear a loin-cloth similar to the cod-piece or loin-cloth of Minoan athletes. Although the scenes portray the various positions and "holds" involved in wrestling, the sport was practiced as part of Egyptian military training, and there is no evidence of organized competition. Ancient Egyptians also participated in various running activities. One of the kingdom's most important festivals was the "jubilee celebration," a festival first celebrated on the 30th anniversary of the reign of Amenophis III, and celebrated continuously in three-year intervals. In the "ritual run", an integral part of the celebration, the current king would run between two sets of three semicircles, the semicircles being cosmic references to the order of the universe. Unlike later Greek footraces, however, the Egyptian king ran alone, without a competitor. Physical evidence of the "ritual run" exists at the pyramid complex of King Djoser, where one can find the ruins of the world's first sports facility, complete with the running track for the "ritual run."

Sydney Olympics - official site Your Comments Brief History of the Olympic Games Ancient Olympic Games Chronology of athletic events added to the Olympic Games Myths and the Olympic Games Pelops myth ... Athens for Olympic Games of 2004 Ancient Olympic Games The Olympic Games begun at Olympia in Greece in 776 BC. The Greek calendar was based on the Olympiad, the four-year period between games. The games were staged in the wooded valley of Olympia in Elis. Here the Greeks erected statues and built temples in a grove dedicated to Zeus, supreme among the gods. The greatest shrine was an ivory and gold statue of Zeus. Created by the sculptor Phidias, it was considered one of the Seven Wonders of the World. Scholars have speculated that the games in 776 BC were not the first games, but rather the first games held after they were organized into festivals held every four years as a result of a peace agreement between the city-states of Elis and Pisa. The Eleans traced the founding of the Olympic games to their King Iphitos, who was told by the Delphi Oracle to plant the olive tree from which the victors' wreaths were made. According to Hippias of Elis, who compiled a list of Olympic victors c.400 BC, at first the only Olympic event was a 200-yard dash, called a stadium. This was the only event until 724 BC, when a two-stadia race was added. Two years later the 24-stadia event began, and in 708 the pentathlon was added and wrestling became part of the games. This pentathlon, a five-event match consisted of running, wrestling, leaping, throwing the discus, and hurling the javelin. In time boxing, a chariot race, and other events were included.

33. Ancient Olympic Games - By Harvey Abrams, BS, MAT, Ph.d/abd The records of the ancient Games were first recreated in the 5th centuryBCE by hippias of elis and a century later revised by Aristotle. http://www.harveyabramsbooks.com/ancient.html

by Harvey Abrams, BS, MAT, Ph.d/abd. The ancient Olympic Games are so old that even the ancient Greeks didn't know how they started. The origins of the ancient Games are steeped in legend and myth. Different versions of the origins of the Games were described by ancient writers such as Pindar, Strabo, Phlegon, Pausanius and Eusebius. Of course all of these writers came many years after the ILIAD and the ODYSSEY were written by an ancient Greek writer named Homer . There is no evidence to date Homer's works, but they appear to be from the period of the 10th to the 6th centuries BCE. In fact, there is no evidence that shows Homer was the writer and it is possible that these works were written by more than one person. Remember what we know today is only a mere fraction of what happened 3,000 years ago. Think about your own history what happened on the day you were born? What evidence exists to prove it? Your birth certificate? Your parents told you about it? Was there a newspaper article written about your birth? Did you talk to any doctors or nurses who were there? So in studying the past even your own past how can you find out what happened? There has to be something to look at, or someone to talk to (witnesses). So how could we possibly know anything about the Greeks who lived 3000 years ago?

Plato, Apology 19d8-20c3 (English) [19d8] But in fact none of these things are true, and if you have heard from anyone that I undertake to teach [19e] people and that I make money by it, that is not true either. Although this also seems to me to be a fine thing, if one might be able to teach people, as Gorgias of Leontini and Prodicus of Ceos and Hippias of Elis are. For each of these men, gentlemen, is able to go into any one of the cities and persuade the young men, who can associate for nothing with whomsoever they wish among their own fellow citizens, [20a] to give up the association with those men and to associate with them and pay them money and be grateful besides. And there is also another wise man here, a Parian, who I learned was in town; for I happened to meet a man who has spent more on sophists than all the rest, Callias , the son of Hipponicus; so I asked him for he has two sons "Callias," said I, "if your two sons had happened to be two colts or two calves, we should be able to get and hire for them an overseer who would make them [20b] excellent in the kind of excellence proper to them; and he would be a horse-trainer or a husbandman; but now, since they are two human beings, whom have you in mind to get as overseer? Who has knowledge of that kind of excellence, that of a man and a citizen? For I think you have looked into the matter, because you have the sons. Is there anyone," said I, "or not?" "Certainly," said he. "Who," said I, "and where from, and what is his price for his teaching?"

Home Encyclopedia Summa Fathers ... S > Sophists A B C D ... Z Sophists A group of Greek teachers who flourished at the end of the fifth century B.C. They claimed to be purveyors of wisdom hence the name sophistai , which originally meant one who possesses wisdom but in reality undertook to show that all true certitude is unattainable, and that culture and preparation for the business of public life are to be acquired, not by profound thinking, but by discussion and debate. In accordance with this principle, they gathered around them the young men of Athens, and professed to prepare them for their career as citizens and as men by teaching them the art of public speaking and the theory and practice of argumentation. They did not pretend to teach how the truth is to be attained. They did not care whether it could be attained or not. They aimed to impart to their pupils the ability to make the better cause seem the worse, and the worse the better. If we are to believe their opponents, Plato and Aristotle , they affected all kinds of refinement, in dress, speech, gesture, etc., and carried their love of argumentation to the point where all seriousness of purpose ceased and quibbling and sophistry began. The Sophists may be said to be the first Greek sceptics. The materialism of the Atomists, the idealism of the Eleatics, and the doctrine of universal change which was a tenet of the School of Heraclitus all these tendencies resulted in a condition of unrest, out of which philosophy could not advance to a more satisfactory state until an enquiry was made into the problem of the value of knowledge. The Sophists did not undertake that enquiry a task reserved to

Home Travel Entertainment Fashion ... Feedback City Home Kolkata Chennai Delhi Mumbai ... Ahmedabad Whats New Click for what's the latest on netGuruIndia All Greek citizens, who were free and had not charged with murder or heresy, could take part in the Olympic Games. Women were not entitled to take part, except as owners in the horse races. Even watching the events was strictly prohibited. The Olympic Games were uninterrupted in ancient Greece. The games were even held in 480 BC during the Persian Wars, and they coincided with the Battle of Thermopylae. Although the Olympic games were never suspended, the games of 364 BC were not considered Olympic games because the Arkadians had captured the sanctuary and reorganized the games. After the Battle of Chaironeia in 338 BC, Philip of Makedon and his son Alexander gained control over the Greek city-states. They erected the Philippeion (a family memorial) in the sanctuary, and held political meetings at Olympia during each Olympiad. In 146 BC, the Romans gained control over Greece and also of the Olympic games. In 85 BC, the Roman general Sulla plundered the sanctuary to finance his campaign against Mithridates. Sulla also moved the 175th Olympiad (80 BC) to Rome.

The sophists were criticized mercilessly by Socrates. These wandering teachers were the successors of the rhapsodes. Recently discovered fragments from the fifth and fourth centuries B.C.E. prove that they were also heirs of the tradition started by the poet Simonides (556 - 468 B.C.E.). These few surviving documents have allowed scholars to trace the line of descent from poet to rhapsode to sophist as part of the transition from oral tradition to written record. When material from more than one source was put together, interpreters were needed to translate anachronistic expressions and foreign words. As the epics came to be preserved in written collections, a group of rhapsodes became interpreters as well as presenters of poetry. Some of the earliest prose consists of their efforts to explain the meaning of traditional names and phrases in the old theogonies. Glosses, along with explanations of Homeric proper names and obscure words by "etymology," were developed, collected and transmitted by the rhapsodes.

Hippias and his quadratrix Hippias of Elis (430 BC) was a sophist who invented the quadratrix curve to trisect an angle. The problem of trisecting a given angle was one of the problems that generated a lot of mathematics during this period, and several mathematicians devised methods for solving this problem. Like many other sophists, Hippias was an itinerant teacher who made his living wowing the locals with his knowledge. Apparently, he did alright, but didn't leave much of a legacy except for the quadratrix. Definition of the curve The curve can be described in a few sentences. Let ABCD denote a square. Over a unit time period, allow the top segment of the square to fall at a uniform speed to the bottom of the square. During the same time, allow the left side of the square to rotate clockwise at a uniform speed to the bottom of the square. At each time, the two segments will intersect in a point P. The totality of all these points P is defined as the quadratrix. Drawing the quadratrix One can imagine how Hippias might have sketched the quadratrix in the sand, but one can hardly image how he would have made an accurate sketch of it.
