The city was founded early in the seventh century B.C. by a Dorian colony from Thera and named after a spring, Kyre, which the Greeks consecrated to Apollo; it stood on the boundary of the Green Mountains (Djebel Akhaar), ten miles from its port, Apollonia (Marsa Sousa). It was the chief town of the Lydian region between Egypt and Carthage (Cyrenaica, now vilayet of Benghazi), kept up commercial relations with all the Greek cities, and reached the height of its prosperity under its own kings in the fifth century B. C. Soon after 460 it became a republic; after the death of Alexander it passed to the Ptolemies and fell into decay. Apion bequeathed it to the Romans, but it kept its self-government. In 74 B.C. Cyrene became a Roman colony. There were many Jews in the region, with their own synagogue at Jerusalem (Mat., xxvii, 32; Acts, ii, 10; vi, 9, xi, 20, sq.), who rebelled, A.D. 73, against Vespasian and in 115 against Trajan Cyrene is the birthplace of the philosophers Aristippus, Callimachus, Carneades, Eratosthenes and Synesius; the latter, a convert to

Extractions: LinkExchange Member Although there were no actual Modern Humanists until the 20th century, the formation of the building blocks of Humanism started long before that. Ancient Greek and Roman civilizations emphasized reason rather than revelation in answering philosophical questions, and persuasion through democratic debate rather than insistence on scripture or dogma as revealed to elite religious authorities. Many of the ancient Greek and Roman thinkers were forerunners of Humanism for those reasons, and because of their development of human centered ethics, challenges to convention, and naturalism. These include: Anaxagoras, Diagoras of Melos, Theodorus, Protagoras, Sextus, Socrates, Plato, Democritus, Aristotle, Epicurus, Lucretius, Cicero, and Seneca. This does not mean that everything they each believed was consistent with Humanism; but they did propose ideas that are central to it, and laid the groundwork. Anaxagoras (500? -428? BCE), a Greek philosopher and teacher, was thrown in a dungeon for impiety after suggesting that the sun is a hot stone and the moon made of earth. He also believed that the gods were mythical and anthropomorphic abstractions. His philosophy that all matter had existed originally as atoms prepared the way for the atomic theory of Democritus. Diagoras "the Atheist" of Melos (c. 430 BCE) once threw a wooden image of a god into a fire, saying that the deity should perform another miracle and save itself. The Athenians put a price on his capture, dead or alive, and he fled, living the rest of his life in Sparta.

Extractions: God, Dreams, and Revelation: A Christian Interpretation of Dreams by Morton T. Kelsey. 1. If dreams are prophets, and if the visions seen in dreams are riddles of their future fortunes to anxious men, they would in that case be full of wisdom, though certainly not clear. In sooth their lack of clearness is their wisdom. For the gods keep mans life concealed. To obtain the greatest things without labour is a divine prerogative, whereas for men, not merely in front of virtue but of all fair things, The gods have set sweat. Now divination must be the greatest of all good things, for it is in knowledge and, in a word, in the cognitional part of his faculties that God differs from man, as does man from the brute. But whereas the nature of God is sufficient unto Himself for knowledge, man through divination attains to much more than belongs to our human nature. For the mass of mankind can know only the present . . . but not the affairs of the gods, which the common language of poetry shows are ruled by Zeus, the oldest in time and in knowledge. Philosophy confirms that the gods are nothing else but minds, intelligences, and one who is worthy to rule over gods does so because of the superior force of wisdom. For this reason also the wise man is akin to God.

SYNOPSIS: This synopsis is brought to you by guest synopser, (Bluesong@aol.com) The episode starts out with Xena having nightmares about Callisto and Ares; her guilt and the part she played in Callisto's death is taking it's toll. In dreams within dreams, Xena sees her mother, Ares, and Gabrielle all blaming her for Callisto's death. Gabrielle even seems to turn on Xena, saying that maybe there was some good to mined there, but so what ... and then she points out that if Hercules had treated Xena like Xena treated Callisto, then Xena would be dead. Xena is dreaming this, of course, but to her it's a very real and upsetting dream.

Extractions: back to PHL200Y home page back to course outline Topic #D33 23 November 2001 Scribes: Rebecca Cuneo and Maddy Macdonald These minutes were spoken on 26 November; for another version, go to the unspoken minutes The Theaetetus is an incredible masterpiece of philosophy. It is our earliest complete study of epistemology. Truth may be an earlier account of epistemology, but all that has come down to us from it is the opening words. Professor Hutchinson described the dialogue found in Theaetetus as unfathomably rich, and noted that he had spent an entire term studying it alone with students in a third year class. On the outside, Thaeatetus is a return to a the Socratic form of dialogue, but at its core is a Platonic viewpoint. As in his Symposium , Plato takes great pains at the beginning to establish the pedigree and hence the authority of the text. The dialogue is also a tribute to Euclides, who was a good friend to both Plato and Socrates. He had followers of whom we know little, apart from the fact that they did not shy away from abstract philosophical analysis. This is best inquired of talented people who possess abstract analytical skills, like geometers.

TERPSION: No, I came some time ago: and I have been in the Agora looking for you, and wondering that I could not find you. EUCLID: But I was not in the city. TERPSION: Where then? EUCLID: As I was going down to the harbour, I met Theaetetushe was being carried up to Athens from the army at Corinth. TERPSION: Was he alive or dead? EUCLID: He was scarcely alive, for he has been badly wounded; but he was suffering even more from the sickness which has broken out in the army. TERPSION: The dysentery, you mean? EUCLID: Yes. TERPSION: Alas! what a loss he will be! EUCLID: Yes, Terpsion, he is a noble fellow; only to-day I heard some people highly praising his behaviour in this very battle. TERPSION: No wonder; I should rather be surprised at hearing anything else of him. But why did he go on, instead of stopping at Megara?

And Plato was born, as Apollodorus says in his Chronicles, in the eighty-eighth Olympiad, on the seventh day of the month Thargelion, on which day the people of Delos say that Apollo also was born. And he died as Hermippus says, at a marriage feast, in the first year of the hundred and eighth Olympiad, having lived eighty-one years. But Neanthes says that he was eighty-four years of age at his death. He is then younger than Isocrates by six years; for Isocrates was born in the archonship of Lysimachus, and Plato in that of Aminias, in which year Pericles died. III.

Extractions: THE ACADEMY 1 History DINOSTRATUS THE SQUARING OF THE CIRCLE Dinostratus proved that the trisectrix of Hippias could be used to solve this problem after discovering that the side of the square is the mean proportional between the arc of the quarter circle AC and the segment DQ. There are various stages to the reductio ad absurdum proof which are illustrated in the following windows: Let the circle with centre D and radius DR intersect the trisectrix at S and the side of the square at T. Draw the perpendicular SU to side DC from point S. As the arcs are proportional to the radii then AC/AB=TR/DR (2) From (1) and (2) it must follow that TR=AB (3) S is the point on the trisectrix which satisfies TR/SR=AB/SU (4) From (3) and (4) it follows that SR=SU However, this is absurd as the perpendicular is the shortest distance between a point and a line. Therefore, DR cannot be longer than DQ. 2.- We repeat this way of reasoning with the hypothesis
