Major Points in last Spring’s last classKagan compared 5th century Greek leagues to the Cold War
when Athens crushed Thasos the Delian League was viewed as a tyrannical empire
the struggle for hegemony sowed the seeds of war
Thucydides explained the outbreak of the Peloponnesian War as the result of Sparta’s fear of the Athenian empire
the Sicilian expedition was a tremendous blow to Athens
Athens managed to stay in the war after 413 because of her navy
she finally lost because of Persian gold which financed a Spartan navy which could destroy her sea power
Questions to answer in this session
why is the Golden Age often called the Age of Pericles?
what are the various forms of art which this age produced?
how did Greek playwrights give birth to the tragedy?
how did science and philosophy come to replace myth and religion as the educational foundation for the upper class?
what is the Socratic method?
what is Plato’s theory of Forms?
how did the discipline of history begin?
what explains the stature of Thucydides as one of the greatest, perhaps the greatest, historians?
