The Democratic foundation established by the ancient Greeks Abstract: Our integrated project blends the subjects of math and history. Since two of our group members never bothered to show up these are the only two subjects we will be covering, with the two history majors focusing on religion and government respectively. The math portion will focus on famous Greek mathematicians. With the help of a special education major, we will alter the plan to cater to the needs of special needs students. I plan to use the week to explain how the ancient Greeks introduced a democratic form of government. This was a revolutionary form of rule in a world of dictators and tyrants. Throughout the week the class will learn about the origins of Greek democracy and its prominent figures. We will then compare and contrast the Greek form of democracy to the one used in our own government. We will also be discussing the possible reasons why democracy failed in Greece and if it seems possible for the United States to suffer the same fate. Names and Majors of the Team Members: Clint Shewmaker- History Education Brandon Schoenman- History Education Jose Gonzalez- Mathematics Education Tom Witschi- Special Education Subjects Integrated: History/ Government: The Democratic foundation established by the ancient Greeks History: Greek Gods Math: The Mathematical foundations that was built by the Greeks Objectives: Upon completion of this lesson, participating students will be able to note five key similarities between the ancient Greek democracy and the democracy of the United States.

Py th ea no A po Lif e "Pythagoras . . . had himself initiated into the rites and mysteries not only of Greece, but also of foreign countries . . . he learned Egyptian . . . journeyed among the Chaldeans and the Magi'' (Diogenes Laertius, Life of Pythagoras, I, 1). Clement of Alexandria declares that Pythagoras was a pupil of Zoroaster and a disciple of the Brahmanas [India] (Clement of Alexandria, Misc., I, xv). Hippolytus states that "Pythagoras came to Zaratus the Chaldean, who explained to him that there are two original causes of things . . . two daemons, the one celestial, the other terrestrial'' (Hippolytus, Refutation, I, ii). A passage in Herodotus proves that even in 450 B.C.E. it was well known that the Orphic-Bacchic mystery was also Pythagorean and that its funerary customs were Egyptian (Herodotus, Persian War, II, p. 81). Pythagoras, and his wife Theano, were great Prophetic ones sent to earth to teach the hidden doctrine. Pythagoras of Samos was born about 569 BC in Samos, Ionia and died about 475 BC. The beliefs that Pythagoras held were: (1) that at its deepest level, reality is mathematical in nature

Spring, 1999 Source: Thomas Heath, Aristarchus of Samos, the Ancient Copernicus, Clarendon Press, Oxford, 1913. Reprinted by Dover, New York, 1981. Thales of Miletus (c. 630? - c 550? BC) Statesman, engineer, mathematician and astronomer, one of the "seven wise men." Cosmology: earth floated on water, a disk. Sun, stars, and planets fiery. Perhaps based on Egyptian and/or Babylonian cosmology. Said to have predicted a solar eclipse, but unlikely. Eudemus referred to two written works by Thales: On the Solstice and On the Equinox, since lost. Noted length of four seasons not all the same. Diogenes Laertius says Thales declared the apparent size of the sun and the moon to be 1/720 part of the circle described by it (i.e., 1/2 degree). Recommended sailing by Little Bear (Little Dipper) as the Phoenicians did. Anaximander of Miletus (Anasimandros) (c. 611 - c. 547 BC) Considered first Greek philosopher. Student of Thales. Cosmology: earth at center, a disk with depth 1/3 of breadth floating in air. Believed the stars to be fiery wheels emitting flames through vents, and eclipses occur when the vents are stopped up. Concluded the circle of the sun is 27 or 28 times the size of the earth, and that of the moon 18 or 19 times. Probably brought the vertical sundial (gnomon) to Greeks from Babylonians. Said to be first to draw a map of the inhabited earth. Anaximenes of Miletus (c. 585 - c. 528 BC. Stars on crystal sphere, but planets have their own movements. Sun, moon, stars made of fire. Said eclipses due to obscuring dark bodies.

Pythagoras and the Pythagoreans, Fragments and Commentary Arthur Fairbanks, ed. and trans. The First Philosophers of Greece (London: K. Paul, Trench, Trubner, 1898), 132-156. Hanover Historical Texts Project Scanned and proofread by Aaron Gulyas, May 1998. Proofread and pages added by Jonathan Perry, March 2001. Fairbanks's Introduction Passages in Plato referring to the Pythagoreans Passages in Aristotle referring to the Pythagoreans Pythagoras and the Pythagoreans: Passages in the Doxographists Fairbanks's Introduction [Page 132] Pythagoras, son of Mnesarchos, a native of Samos, left his fatherland to escape the tyranny of Polykrates (533/2 or 529/8 B.C.). He made his home for many years in Kroton in southern Italy, where his political views gained control in the city. At length he and his followers were banished by an opposing party, and he died at Metapontum. Many stories are told of his travels into Egypt and more widely, but there is no evidence on which the stories can be accepted. He was a mystic thinker and religious reformer quite as much as a philosopher, but there is no reason for denying that the doctrines of the school originated with him. Of his disciples, Archytas, in southern Italy, and Philolaos and Lysis, at Thebes, are the best known. It is the doctrine of the school, not the teaching of Pythagoras himself, which is known to us through the writings of Aristotle. Literature: :-On Pythagoras: Krische

Principal Búsqueda Grupo Galería ... Constelaciones Oenopides de Chios © 2001. Carlos Andrés Carvajal T. Astrónomo Autodidacta. Nació en la isla de Chios hacia el 490 a.C. y murió hacia el 420 a.C. Se cree que vivió en Atenas. Oenopides estudio la eclíptica y encontró un valor de inclinación sobre el Ecuador celeste de 24º el cual fue aceptado en Grecia hasta los estudios mas precisos de Eratóstenes , otros autores sin embargo, no aceptan que Oenopides haya estudiado la eclíptica. Otra contribución de Oenopides a la matemática astronómica fue el descubrimiento del periodo del gran año (periodo después del cual los movimientos de la luna y el Sol vuelven a repetirse), Dando un valor de 59 años. Estos resultados llevaron a un mes lunar de 29.53013 días el cual es sorprendentemente cercano al valor moderno de 29.53059 días. Este último cálculo, sin embargo, aunque probablemente basado en los 59 años del gran año de Oenopides pudo haber sido realizado posteriormente por otras personas. Proclus atribuye dos teoremas que aparecen en los Elementos de Euclides como de Oenopides. Desarrolló una teoría para medir los flujos del Nilo, sugirió que el calor acumulado en la tierra durante el invierno seca la tierra debajo del río y este se seca. En el verano el calor desaparece y el agua nuevamente fluye al río y este crece. Otras pistas sobre la filosofía de Oenopides dice que que el creía que el fuego y el aire son los elementos básicos y pensaba en la tierra como un ser viviente siendo Dios su alma.

It triggered enormous public outrage in Western Europe, as can be seen in the art of Delacroix, and the writing of

In Pursuit of George G. M. James' Study of African Origins in "Western Civilization" by Yosef A. A. ben-Jochannan James Revived Count C.F. Volney, an eighteenth century C.E. French academician of the highest esteem in European academic circles, wrote the following in his major work— Ruins of Empire , page xvii, for all the racists who denied the indigenous African origin of the ancient Egyptians to read: THERE A PEOPLE NOW FORGOTTEN DISCOVERED WHILE OTHER WERE YET BARBARIANS, THE ELEMENTS OF THE ARTS AND SCIENCES. A RACE OF MEN NOW REJECTED FOR THEIR BLACK SKIN and WOOLY HAIR FOUNDED ON THE STUDY OF THE LAWS OF NATURE THOSE CIVIL AND RELIGIOUS SYSTEMS WHICH STILL GOVERN THE UNIVERSE. Isn't it rather interesting that today BLACK has become "SABLE," and WOOLLY turned "FRIZZLED" in the quotation! BLACK and WOOLLY are stated in the original edition; whereas Volney's successors found it necessary to change them in a later edition to "SABLE" and "FRIZZLED," etc. This, unfortunately, has been too long typical of " Western Scholarship ."
