I asked Ms. Fate to wrap the leash around the dog’s mouth to prevent the dog from biting her or me while I placed the dog on the stretcher. Ms. Fate complied, I slowly guided the dog on the

One of the basic themes of the book is that the thought and the art of classical Athens is full of meaning for people of later generations. It is the full of meaning for nations, cultures and societies beset by broad-scale and profound social and political change and the accompanying confusion and fear produced in the minds and souls of human beings.

At the end of the Persian wars, Athens materialized along with Sparta as the two leading powers in the Greek world. As Athens grew in confidence, their promotion of ‘Athenianism’, was a bid to place Athens as leader of its empire. This growing confidence is demonstrated in the building programme during the 440’s and 430’s B.C.E, such as the Parthenon. As Robson

With the rise of Alexander “The Great” begins the Hellenistic Age which is used to describe a time which Greek culture spread to places like Egypt and Asia. Due to this Greek culture had changed from what it was during Classical Greece as they were able to achieve much more with this new diverse culture. The Classical Age of Greece is known for its work in philosophy and the arts. The work of Greek philosophers of this time such Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle cannot go unnoticed in these contexts as their accomplishments still have lasting effects on our world today. Along with the great work of these philosophers, came other great works in architecture and drama. Beginning in 448 B.C. Pericles began the construction of the Acropolis,

Men of Athens: as we congregate today to discuss my several charges against the city of Athens, I would like to address and hone in on the new charge of myself corrupting the youth. Many of you observe my relationships with these young men as inappropriate and based on falsehoods. But I would like to conjure that instead, I am stripping them of their ignorance and identifying the depths of reality, which provide the true feeling of ecstasy.

The appetite for glut was a threatening thing in classical Athens, and the bondage between the members of classical Athens and their fascinating desires was a complicated and compelling one. Dr. James N. Davidson works on social and cultural Greek history and historiography. He served on the Council for the society for the Promotion of Hellenic Studies from 2001 to 2004, was a member of Classical Association Journals Board 2000 to 2010, and is a professor in the Department of Classics and Ancient History at the University of Warwick. He has written articles on Polybius, Greek public bars, Dido and child sacrifice and is a regular contributor to The London Review of Books, The Guardian, The Daily Telegraph and the Sunday Times. He has just

The Greeks love to celebrate, and the Acropolis does not shy away from this. While perhaps not the best venue for a quiet and romantic dinner date, this is the perfect place for people who don’t just want to sit and eat, but have fun as well. Evening patrons should be prepared for lots of dancing and shouts of, “Opa!” accompanied by many napkins being thrown into the air. This lively environment is a lot of fun and is the perfect place for any get-together, celebration, or perhaps a more exciting and “adventurous” dinner date.

In the article “The Battle for the Parthenon Marbles”, written by Helena Smith, the author shows the reader the debacle the Parthenon faces. She shows the reader how the New Acropolis Museum has transformed Athens. Since the opening of the museum there has been in increase in traffic and cafes and restaurant have been full. In the first post-opening press conference Greek officials couldn’t contain their excitement after looking at the high number of ticket sales. The buyers of these tickets were both local and abroad. In the first five days of the opening about 55,000 people had bought the tickets. The New Acropolis Museum is on track to retrieve the Parthenon sculptures from the British

Erected on the Akropolis, it can be inferred that apart from Perikles’ sons, the Athenians involved in the Periclean building programme took a resounding interest in this commemorative portrait of Perikles. Perhaps, by employing the statue, they wanted to reinvigorate sustained public interest in continuing Perikles’ legacy: the construction of the Akropolis. Stripped of any element indicative of weakness or defect, this

In the history of our civilization, there have been many great civilizations that have helped shape the world as we know it today. The ones that immediately come to mind are the Egyptian, the Greek, the Persian, and the Roman. These civilizations have paved the way for education, science, music, art architecture and much more.  In this piece of work, we will zero in on two of these illustrious societies the Greeks and the Romans, more specifically their on historical architectural contributions. We will do so by looking at two of the most famous Greek and Roman buildings respectively, the Parthenon in Athens and the Pantheon in Rome.

Daily life in Athens is full of activities as the people of Athens are known for their curiosity about many things and their love for knowledge: in arts, literature, architecture, medicine and trade (Hansen, 1991). On a daily basis, young adults are very keen to learn the most recent philosophy from their tutors and older ones, they gather to learn

The last Olympic swimmer just touched the wall and the race has ended. Cameras are replaying every single movement from the race and a winner has been clearly decided. Just as these Olympic swimmers will gain a medal for placing, ancient Athens had numerous accomplishments of its own. Athens “prosperity … was due in large part to its stable and effective government” (SOURCE 1). When analyzing the history of ancient Athens, is easy to see how the accomplishments of a democracy, Greek philosophy, and Greek literature all shape Athens.

The acquisition of the Parthenon marbles by the British museum has been a controversial topic for many years. The Parthenon marbles (commonly known as the ‘Elgin marbles’) concerns the set of stone sculptures and archaeological features which were procured by Lord Elgin and imparted to the British museum in 1816. Although the British endorse the legality of the subtraction of the marbles, many argue that the situation was ambiguous. Through the removal of these historically significant artefacts, Greece has suffered impacts upon their national pride, value and cultural symbolism. This topic is not only a matter of legal and ethical import, but also a degradation of justice.

Greek buildings were designed for a political purpose. These political purposes were for the celebration of civic power and pride and also to offer thanksgiving to the city’s management on their success in a war.

From the immense stone coliseum to the intricately carved marble statues of deities, Greek has long been known for its arts and architecture. The beauty of these artifacts has been preserved and admired for centuries; however, as with most things humans find beautiful, these artifacts have been worn down, ripped apart, and abused over the centuries. Christopher Hitchens’ article addresses this long history of neglect and argues against further destruction of these grand and ancient treasures, and he uses many literary devices in his writing to support and strengthen his claims.
