Greek Empire - Empire, Alexander the Great, Hellenistic, Culture Greek Empire Empire, Alexander the Great, Hellenistic, Culture Ancient Greece Unit Greek Empire - empire, Alexander the Great, Hellenistic, culture Greek Empire empire, Alexander the Great, Hellenistic, culture Ancient Greece Unit This article is brought to you by the years 356 B.C.E to 323 B.C.E. What would you need to do in order for people to add "the great" to the end of your name? Get straight A's? No, that's not good enough. Make a new kind of phone? No . they don't call him Steve Jobs the Great. What then? How about take over all of the city-states around you and then expand your empire across nearly 3,000 miles and across different continents? Now we're talking. It's time to meet Alexander . the Great. Today, we have cities and states and countries that are ruled by a government. Many years ago, things looked very different. People lived in cities that acted like very small countries, called city states. Today, countries stay in one place, but two thousand years ago there was a lot more change. Instead of each city state being always a part of one county, they were constantly taken over by different leaders. If someone with a big army came through, you might have a new leader! An empire is a group of states or countries under one ruler. Greece was just a collection of city-states and colonies until a leader named Philip II fought away many of their enemies and brought them all together. They started to grow into something more. Of course, in order to become something really big, an empire needs a brave leader . Or one that's willing to fight, at least. This is where the "Great" part comes in. In 336 B.C.E., Phillip II was killed and a new leader would rise. He was only 12 at the time, but he brought his country together and took over most of the world around him. Alexander the Great was the emperor of ancient Greece who built a large empire. He did this by taking over the city-states near him first. He then took over other lands around the Mediterranean, West Asia, and North Africa. He never lost a fight. He cut his way through Persia and kept marching into India . when his soldiers quit. They wanted to go back to Greece and did not want to fight any longer. Little did he know that all this fighting and taking over of other people changed the world for many years to come.

He just wanted the glory of war. He tore down many buildings and did not build many new ones in their place. Still, as he cut across the world, he ended up spreading the art and ideas of his people. Culture is the beliefs, values, and attitudes shared by a group of people. This is who we are, what we do, and why we do things. As Alexander made Greece's borders bigger, he and his soldiers did not force people to take on their ideas. They allowed the cities they took over to keep their art and ways of living. To make sure he could keep control, he placed his people in places of power and they began to spread their way of life. This changed the way people saw the world from Europe across North Africa and far into Asia. People started reading the same things, speaking the same languages, and shared the same ideas. This brought a big part of the world together in a way that had never happened before. Alexander grew sick and died when he was only thirty-two. But he left a changed world behind him. The lands he had taken over came together to share the culture of Greece. Hellenistic means "Greek-like"• and it is a time period where we see governments and ideas from Greece all around the world. Each place would mix their own ideas with those from the Greeks. In this way, these city states grew into something bigger and the world became a little bit smaller. The word is used to explain they way that ideas from Greece changed the world for almost 300 years after Alexander died. What makes someone "Great"? If someone is the head of an empire, they have a lot of power, but does that make them Great? Alexander the Great was one of Greece's most famous leaders who took over much of Europe, North Africa, and West Asia. He only wanted the glory of war, but he ended up bringing a big piece of the world together by having them speak the same language and look at the same art--this is also known as culture. After Alexander died, the Hellenistic time began, where many countries spoke Greek and shared the same ideas. So what made Alexander "Great"? Was it because he was strong in war? Was it that he brought Greek ideas to many other people, something he did not mean to do? Just because he has the word "Great" in his name does not mean he was a great person. You can read the stories of Alexander and decide if he was great or not. References: The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

    Special Edition: 200th Anniversary of the Greek War of Independence 1821-2021 18 1821-2021 A publication of the Dean C. and Zoë S. Pappas Interdisciplinary March 2021 VOLUME 1 ISSUE NO. 3 Center for Hellenic Studies and the Friends of Hellenic Studies From the Director Dear Friends, On March 25, 1821, in the city of Kalamata in the southern Peloponnesos, the chieftains from the region of Mani convened the Messinian Senate of Kalamata to issue a revolutionary proclamation for “Liberty.” The commander Petrobey Mavromichalis then wrote the following appeal to the Americans: “Citizens of the United States of America!…Having formed the resolution to live or die for freedom, we are drawn toward you by a just sympathy; since it is in your land that Liberty has fixed her abode, and by you that she is prized as by our fathers.” He added, “It is for you, citizens of America, to crown this glory, in aiding us to purge Greece from the barbarians, who for four hundred years have polluted the soil.” The Greek revolutionaries understood themselves as part of a universal struggle for freedom. It is this universal struggle for freedom that the Pappas Center for Hellenic Studies and Stockton University raises up and celebrates on the occasion of the 200th anniversary of the beginning of the Greek Revolution in 1821.

  • Hellenic Impact in Romantic Literature
    www.ijcrt.org © 2018 IJCRT | Volume 6, Issue 1 March 2018 | ISSN: 2320-2882 Hellenic Impact in Romantic Literature SHOMIK DE Assistant Teacher of Haripukuria High School English (M.A., B.Ed) (NET Qualified) ABSTRACT Hellenism illustrates any of the characteristics of ancient Greek Culture, civilization, principles and ideals, including humanism, reason, the pursuit of knowledge and the arts, moderation and civic responsibility. It reflects the culture and civilization of the Hellinistic period. Hellenism divulges the admiration for and adoption of ancient Greek Culture, ideas and civilization. It unveils the national character or culture of Greece as well as the belief in and worship of the Greek gods. It can also termed as the neoclassicism. As a neoclassical movement distinct from other Roman or Greco Roman forms of neoclassicism emerging after the European Renaissance, it most often is associated with Germany and England in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. In Germany the preeminent figure in the movement Winckelmann, the art historian and aesthetic theoretician who first articulated what would come to be the orthodoxies of the Greek ideal in sculpture. For Winckelmann, the essence of Greek art was noble simplicity and sedate grandeur, often encapsulated in sculptures representing moments of intense emotion or tribulation. Other major figures includes Hegel, Schlegel, Schelling and Schiller. In England, the so-called “second generation” romantic poets, especially John Keats, Percy Bysshe Shelley, and Lord Byron are considered examples of Hellinism. Drawing from Winckelmann(either directly or derivatively), these poets frequently turned to Greece as a model of ideal beauty, transcendent philosophy, democratic politics, and homosociality or homosexuality (for Shelley especially).

  • A HISTORY of the PELASGIAN THEORY. FEW Peoples Of
    A HISTORY OF THE PELASGIAN THEORY. FEW peoples of the ancient world have given rise to so much controversy as the Pelasgians; and of few, after some centuries of discussion, is so little clearly established. Like the Phoenicians, the Celts, and of recent years the Teutons, they have been a peg upon which to hang all sorts of speculation ; and whenever an inconvenient circumstance has deranged the symmetry of a theory, it has been safe to ' call it Pelasgian and pass on.' One main reason for this ill-repute, into which the Pelasgian name has fallen, has been the very uncritical fashion in which the ancient statements about the Pelasgians have commonly been mishandled. It has been the custom to treat passages from Homer, from Herodotus, from Ephorus, and from Pausanias, as if they were so many interchangeable bricks to build up the speculative edifice; as if it needed no proof that genealogies found sum- marized in Pausanias or Apollodorus ' were taken by them from poems of the same class with the Theogony, or from ancient treatises, or from prevalent opinions ;' as if, further, ' if we find them mentioning the Pelasgian nation, they do at all events belong to an age when that name and people had nothing of the mystery which they bore to the eyes of the later Greeks, for instance of Strabo;' and as though (in the same passage) a statement of Stephanus of Byzantium about Pelasgians in Italy ' were evidence to the same effect, perfectly unexceptionable and as strictly historical as the case will admit of 1 No one doubts, of course, either that popular tradition may transmit, or that late writers may transcribe, statements which come from very early, and even from contemporary sources.

  • Without Doubt Greek Belongs to the Small Group of Indo-European Languages Which Are Well-Attested by Written Documents Already in the Ilnd Millenium B
    J. HARM ATT A THE PREHISTORY OF THE GREEK LANGUAGE* “The nature of the Greek langauge during the prehistoric period is . hard to determine, so that most statements about it must be qualified as probable rather than certain.“ JOHN CHADWICK Without doubt Greek belongs to the small group of Indo-European languages which are well-attested by written documents already in the Ilnd millenium B. C. Notwithstanding, the prehistory of the Greek lan­ guage as well as the prehistory of the Greeks themselves presents a whole set of hotly discussed problems. This character of Greek prehistory be­ comes even more striking if we compare it with the researches seeking for the origin of the Latin language. In spite of such tantalizing problems as e. <jr. the exact determination of the territory settled by the Latins be­ fore their immigration into Italy, it does not encounter any serious diffi­ culty to clear up the prehistoric position of Latin among the other Indo- European languages. This is all the more surprising since the historical knowledge of Greek is based on an uncomparably greater linguistic mate­ rial. In the case of the Latin language the common innovations in the phonemic system and in the vocabulary, observed in it and in Celtic, Germanic as well as in Venetic, allow us to trace the gradual movement of the Proto-Latins from Western Europe towards Italy. As regards the prehistory of Greek, however, no such possibility offers itself on account of the insufficient knowledge of the languages neighbouring to Greek in prehistoric times. Accordingly, the study of common innovations in vocabulary results in nothing in the case of the Greek language and his prehistoric neigh­ bours.

  • The Soccer Culture of Greece
    History of Soccer in Greece y The game of soccer appeared for the first time in Greece at the end of the 19th century and more specifically in 1866. y It was brought to the Greek ports by English sailors. y According to the tradition, the first soccer match was played on January 29th of 1866, on the island of Corfu (Kerkyra). The story goes that the officers of a British warship, which was stationed in the port of Corfu, wanted to play a game with a team formed by the locals. The Greeks were unfamiliar with the sport, yet they still managed to win that first football match on Greek soil, attended by over 3,000 spectators. History of Soccer in Greece y The first soccer games among Greeks took place in unofficially in 1899. y The first Greek championship took place in 1906. y In 1907 soccer becomes part of the physical education program of elementary and high schools and at that time the first school teams are created. y After a hiatus during the Balkan wars and the Asia Minor catastrophe, soccer becomes a major part of the Greek life after 1920s. y Social History of Soccer in Greece y Before the WWII soccer was part of the working class’ entertainment and culture. y It provided the working class with the sense that they belong to a certain unique community, a special social environment that existed independently from those of the upper and middle classes. y In the 1960s, soccer becomes professional and the fans of the sport are now members of all social classes.
