Persian WarsPersian Wars499 B.C. Ionian Greeks stage an uprising. Persia goes in to put down the rebels. Athenians help the Ionians, so Persia decides to attack the mainland. Although Persia had some victories, they were soundly defeated at the battle of Marathon in 490 B.C.

In 480 B.C., after 10 years of preparation Xerxes again attacks Greece. At the Battle of Thermopylae, King Leonidas of Sparta and his 7,000 soldiers hold off the 200,000 (+/-) Persian army. After most had surrendered, Leonidas and his 300 Spartans almost held off the Persians at the pass, inflicting massive casualties.

Persia broke through and started wreaking havoc, but was defeated by the navy at the Battle of Salamis.

Fall of Greece to RomeFall of Greece to Rome

The Greeks had polises, or city-states. They never ever fully united. In fact, the whole Peloponnesian war was because Sparta thought Athens was getting too strong. If they had united, they probably could have defeated anyone. But, they never were, and Rome defeated them.

146 B.C. Battle of Corinth. Rome defeats the wealthiest and one of most powerful polises, thus crushing the will of Greece and asserting authority.

SocratesSocratesSocrates was a philosopher who believed that his role was to help people think and question the world around them. He would teach by asking them questions- the Socratic method.

He felt he was the “gadfly” of the state. Obnoxious and annoying, but successful in spurring the lazy horse of state into activity. He felt it his calling and duty to educate young men who had a good hold on their shoulders, particulary Plato.

He was so successful at being annoying, that the Athenian government felt he was corrupting the youth. Ordered him to death by drinking hemlock. The Apology.

Plato- the IdealistPlato- the Idealist

Plato believed that there was a perfect, beautiful truth out there. Believed in a pre-existence where everything was perfect. He believes that there is still the “shadow” of this perfection in everything, but we have to look for it. He influenced art by having sculptors and painters not paint for what was really there, but the perfection that is behind everything.

Aristotle- the RealistAristotle- the Realist

Aristotle disagreed with Plato. Rather than look for the perfect, he found joy in the realistic. He was the king of applying rational, scientific thinking to solving problems. He liked things to be more practical and utilitarian.
