Extractions: Some Contributions to Euclidean Geometry Stanley Wong The Academic Setting This unit will be used at Del Norte High School in Albuquerque, New Mexico. It is designed with my Honors Geometry class in mind. Students can be freshman or sophomores. The freshman are recommended by their eighth grade Algebra I teachers if they have exhibited a strong aptitude for mathematics. Math teachers from our feeder schools (Cleveland and McKinley Middle Schools) have been briefed on these recommendations. The sophomores are those who have successfully completed Honors Algebra I as freshman or who have shown great promise in regular Algebra I and who have been recommended by their teacher. Students in Honors Geometry will study, in greater depth, the concepts, techniques, and theory of the regular geometry course. Both acceleration and enrichment are integral components of the curriculum. This is the second course in the Honors/Advanced Placement Program in Mathematics and students will earn a weighted grade in this course. (Albuquerque Public Schools 16.0)

Extractions: There is a story reported by Plutarch in his Life Of Alexander, which says that the conqueror, being so taken by Egypt decided to found: "a large and populous Greek city which should bear his name, and by the advice of his architects was on the point of measuring off and enclosing a certain site for it. Then, in the night, as he lay asleep, he saw a wonderful vision. A man with very hoary locks and of a venerable aspect appeared to stand by his side and recite these verses:- In front of Egypt; Pharos is what men call it.' " Alexander knew his Homer and these brief lines were enough to call to mind the long passage from Book IV of The Odyssey where Menelaus tells Telemachus how he was stranded on the shores of Egypt. The island, Menelaus made clear, offered a good harbour where one could pull ships up onto the shore and take on water. So, continues Plutarch, the Macedonian set himself before the isle of Pharos and judging the situation to be very suitable "he said he saw that Homer was not only admirable in other ways, but also a very wise architect, and ordered the plan of the city to be drawn in conformity with this site." Alexander did not stay long enough to witness the construction of the city and could not have known that the little island of Pharos would be the site of and give its name to the seventh Wonder of the World.

Extractions: After years of marching and fighting, Alexander, later to become Alexander the Great (356 BC -323 BC), finally entered Egypt in 332 BC after defeating Darius III in 333 BC. According to a myth, it is said that Alexander may have been the only natural son, not of Philip II, but of Nectanebo II (360-343 BC), the last of the native pharaohs, his mother Olympia having had an affair with him [Clayton, 1995]. Once in Egypt, he went to the Oasis of Siwa, where a priest apparently saluted him as the son of the god. Plutarch (45 AD - 125 AD) writes that the priest wished to address Alexander in Greek as Paidion (my child) but that the word actually came out as Paidios (son of Zeus). Alexander, from then on, saw himself as the son of Zeus-Amon. Soon, the great monarch planned to found a new city. His actual intentions are barely mentioned by early sources. According to tradition, the city was founded in January 331 AD [Empereur, 1998]. Plutarch mentions in Alexanders Life that a prophet visited the king in a dream and apparently convinced Alexander of having found the right spot.

Extractions: The Ptolemaic Legacy When Ptolemy Soter assumed power, he asked Demitrius Phalerus , a follower of Aristotle , to found a library system at Alexandria that would rival that of Athens. The Alexandrian Mouseion , however, far superseded its Greek prototype to become an intellectual and scientific institution; a university system rather than a bibliotheca. It was here, in the third century BC, that Archimedes invented the pump still in use today and known as Archimedes' screw , and, in the second century BC, that Hypsicles first divided the circle of the zodiac into 360 degrees. Ancient historians claim that the library's 500,000 book collection was so comprehensive that no manuscript was available in any library worldwide that was not available in Alexandria. Have you ever heard of Euclidean Geometry? Did you know that Euclid lived, developed his theories, and wrote Elements at the Alexandria Mouseion during the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus? In his Elements , Euclid provided a comprehensive analysis of geometry, proportions, and theory of numbers. His other notable contribution

Extractions: THE INSTRUCTOR. BOOK III. CHAP. I.ON THE TRUE BEAUTY. IT iS then, as appears, the greatest of all lessons to know one's self. For if one knows himself, he will know God; and knowing God, he will be made like God, not by wearing gold or long robes, but by well-doing, and by requiring as few things as possible. Now, God alone is in need of nothing, and rejoices most when He sees us bright with the ornament of intelligence; and then, too, rejoices in him who is arrayed in chastity, the sacred stole of the body. Since then the soul consists of three divisions; the intellect, which is called the reasoning faculty, is the inner man, which is the ruler of this man that is seen. And that one, in another respect, God guides. But the irascible part, being brutal, dwells near to insanity. And appetite, which is the third department, is many-shaped above Proteus, the varying sea-god, who changed himself now into one shape, now into another; and it allures to adulteries, to licentiousness, to seductions. "At first he was a lion with ample beard."

Extractions: CHAPTER I THE GNOSTIC A TRUE WORSHIPPER OF GOD, AND UNJUSTLY CALUMNIATED BY UNBELIEVERS AS AN ATHEIST. It is now time to show the Greeks that the Gnostic alone is truly pious; so that the philosophers, learning of what description the true Christian is, may condemn their own stupidity in rashly and inconsiderately persecuting the [Christian] name, and without reason calling those impious who know the true God. And clearer arguments must be employed, I reckon, with the philosophers, so that they may be able, from the exercise they have already had through their own training, to understand, although they have not yet shown themselves worthy to partake of the power of believing. The prophetic sayings we shall not at present advert to, as we are to avail ourselves of the Scriptures subsequently at the proper places. But we shall point out summarily the points indicated by them, in our delineation of Christianity, so that by taking the Scriptures at once (especially as they do not yet comprehend their utterances), we may not interrupt the continuity of the discourse. But after pointing out the things indicated, proofs shall be shown in abundance to those who have believed. But if the assertions made by us appear to certain of the multitude to be different from the Scriptures of the Lord, let it be known that it is from that source that they have breath and life; and taking their rise from them, they profess to adduce the sense only, not the words. For further treatment, not being seasonable, will rightly appear superfluous. Thus, not to look at what is urgent would be excessively indolent and defective; and "blessed, in truth, are they who, investigating the testimonies of the Lord, shall seek Him with their whole heart." And the law and the prophets witness of the Lord.

http://www.greekmyth.org/Laurent/Menelaus.htm

Extractions: Menelaus is most well known as the king of Sparta who was robbed of his wife Helen by a guest he received in his palace. For his sake, a fleet of unprecedented size sailed to Troy in order to retrieve Helen. The story behind Menelaus begins with King Atreus of Mycenae, having a serious feud with his brother Thyestes, he decided to arrest him. Atreus had Agamemnon and Menelaus, who seized him in Delphi, brought him to Mycenae, and cast him into prison, where Atreus attempted to murder him. However, because of his misjudgments, Atreus was killed by Thyestess son Aegisthus, who then gave the throne to his father. As a result, Agamemnon and Atreus were forced into exile. The former stayed with King Polyphides of Sicyon, and latter stayed with King Oeneus of Calydon. They eventually returned with intent to dethrone Thyestes; and with assistance from King Tyndareus of Sparta, they drove Thyestes away to Cythera, an island off the southern coast of the Peloponnesus. Having thus seized power, the two married the daughters of Tyndareus: Agamemnon wedded Clytaemnestra, and became king in Mycenae; and Menelaus, united to Helen, and would later inherit the kingdom. Helens father, Tyndareus, following Odysseus' advice, exacted an oath from her many suitors (kings and princes of Hellas), stipulating that they would defend and protect he who was chosen as Helen's husband against any wrong done against him in regard to his marriage. This was the agreement, and Menelaus was the suitor chosen.

http://www.societasviaromana.org/Collegium_Artium/library.htm

Extractions: The Museum was founded by Demetrius Phalerus, under the patronage of Ptolemy I, Ptolemy Soter. The establishment of the Library was handed down to Ptolemy II, Ptolemy Philadelphus, in 283 B.C., and it was during his reign that the monarch began the practice of attracting scholars, housing and funding them in the Museum, and collecting the vast Library. The idea of a formal institution for scholars of all kinds, complete with a library, was a new one, and the Museum was modelled on the Lyceum of Aristotle in Athens; Demetrius himself, an exiled tyrant of Athens, was one of Aristotle's followers. A second "daughter" library, the Serapeion, was soon established in the temple of Serapis, a popular god invented by the Ptolemies as a synthesis of Zeus, Pluto, Osiris, and the Apis bull. This library, found in the Rhakotis or Egyptian sector, was open to all, not just to royally pensioned scholars, and had copies of many of the Museum's scrolls. The Museum was a shrine built for the glorification of the Muses, and from the outset contained lecture halls, laboratories, observatories, living quarters, colonnades for ambulatory discussions, a dining hall, a garden, a zoo, the shrine itself, and, presumably, the Library, which most archaeologists and scholars conclude was housed within the shrine and not in a separate building. An estimated 30-50 scholars were probably permanently housed there, probably fed and funded first by the royal family, and later, according to an early Roman papyrus, by public money. The administrator of the Museum was a priest, appointed by the Pharaoh and was ,together with a separate Librarian, responsible for the whole collection.

Saturday 28/07/01 On this week's LINGUA FRANCA: THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA AND WHAT CAME BEFORE LIONEL CASSON Author of LIBRARIES IN THE ANCIENT WORLD/YALE UNIVERSITY PRESS Founded by Ptolemy I at the beginning of the third century BC, THE LIBRARY OF ALEXANDRIA is the most famous library of the ancient world. In his slim history LIBRARIES IN THE ANCIENT WORLD, American classicist LIONEL CASSON devotes a chapter to it - the third chapter. What preceded it? The beginnings have been found in palace archives - hoards of clay tablets inscribed in cuneiform - in Mesopotamia: the ancient Near East. But critical to the development in the Hellenic world of the library as we know it were the adoption of the alphabet and the use of papyrus scrolls. Details or Transcript: THEME Jill Kitson: Welcome to Lingua Franca, I'm Jill Kitson. The Library of Alexandria, founded by Ptolemy I at the end of the 4th century BC is the most famous library of the ancient world. Its collection of papyrus scrolls, said to have numbered nearly half a million, drew intellectuals from all over the Greek speaking world. It survived Julius Caesar's torching of the nearby dockyards in 50 BC to last beyond the era of the Ptolemys well into the 3rd century of the Christian era, when it was destroyed in a local uprising. In many respects, the Library of Alexandria was like any of our great modern public libraries: it sought to be comprehensive, to hold authoritative texts on all subjects; works were catalogued and stored in alphabetical order by subject. The Library was open to all scholars. In other ways, it was like a research school and a scholarly publishing house: its scholars compared and analysed texts, translated them, wrote commentaries, and undertook lexicography and the study of grammar.
