Summary: The Father Of Galion

Action from necessity is a constantly recurring theme in Thucydides’ The Landmark Thucydides: A Comprehensive Guide to the Peloponnesian War. A sentiment used to explain the growth of the Athenian Empire which some Athenians espoused to an assembly at Sparta best quantifies necessity, “. . . we were necessarily compelled at first to advance the hegemony to where it is—especially by fear, and then by honor, and later by benefit.” (Selected Passages 1.75.3). This claim, referred to as the Athenian Thesis, is used to advance the two following implications: all states act with the motivations of fear, honor and interest and no one can condemn a state for doing so. The Athenian Thesis influences the way many of the Athenian elite structure their patterns of reasoning in both noticeable and subtle ways.

It is our hope that this correspondence finds you in pleasant circumstances. It is with great trepidation and frustration that the cohorts of the Dangriga Galen center have found the need to write this letter. After the end of our first year in the Galen Bachelor 's in Education program we find that there are circumstances and situations that have persisted to the disadvantage of the cohorts and have failed to be addressed by the administration of Galen and its staff. Galen recruited us under the guise of "excellence" and with every course we are reminded that it is "excellence" that is also demanded of us. It is with this in mind, that we hope to effectively articulate our concerns and find prompt resolution in order to ensure that we all draw closer to this "excellence". The following are the pressing and urgent matters that we feel must be addressed not only for the betterment of our center cohorts, but for all the cohorts that have entrusted Galen with their valuable time, hard earned money, and academic careers.

Eratosthenes was born in 276 B.C. in a Greek colony in Cyrene, a country in North Africa better known in the present day as Libya. He raised by modest parents, his mother’s name is not known, and his father’s name could be one of two that have been discovered, Aglaos or Ambrosios. Even though they were modest parents, they were somehow able to have enough money for an education for their son. They would have had to own land that was worth at least 20 minas (type of Athenian currency), and his parents would have been free citizens. He was a typical, curious baby and as he grew older, he asked hundreds of questions that no one could answer. He was extremely interested in the sky, because it was something that he could not reach up and touch. He wondered how what the distance between the sun and earth was and what the sun was made of, why there was wind, and why the stars moved. Like most young Greek boys, when Eratosthenes was about six, he began to go to school in the local gymnasium, where he learned reading, writing, mathematics, poetry, music and physical education. He was very strong in math but geography was by far his favourite subject. In his early years, he was given the nickname Beta, the second letter of the Greek alphabet, because he never came in first place (taken by Archimedes). Later in life, he got the nickname Pentathlos. This word meant an athlete that participated in 5 sporting events or to describe someone who was good at a variety of different
