The classical period in Greece ushered in great reformation, in which the city of Athens was placed on the map for its works of art, design and culture. The coordinator of such a vast change was Pericles , who in the fifth century BC, brought about the city’s most important buildings, namely the Propylaia, the Erechtheion and the Parthenon.

212 B.C.E. Archimedes lead us through the door of science. Archimedes lived in a greek settlement on the island of Sicily, which is off the toe of Italy. The settlement he lived in was called syracuse. He was the son of a great astronomer named Phidias, he also may have been related to Hieron the king of syracuse and his son Gelon, his father named him Archimedes because it means great thinker. Syracuse was home to many people and leaders of many fields. When Archimedes was old enough his father

what you do, is honorable to me. And to me, Archimedes is a very respectful person. Archimedes, full name Archimedes of Syracuse, was born around 287 B.C. in Syracuse, Sicily (now Italy). His father was a mathematician and an astronomer, named Phidias. We do not know anything about his mother or if he had any other siblings, but reports suggest he may have been related to King Hiero II, a king of Syracuse. Not much is known about his early life, but at one point in his early life, he went to Egypt

Some things that are known is that Archimedes’ father was Phidias, a famous astronomer. Also Archimedes might have studied in another place

admission for poorer citizens cheaper, the fine arts were democratized. Architects and urban designers Ictinus and Callicrates planned the new acropolis and build the Parthenon, the main temple that dominates the hill of Acropolis, while the sculptor Phidias carved the friezes on the Parthenon and created a 40-foot tall statue of

The Life and Work of Archimedes Archimedes was a very intelligent and a great man. He is thought of as one of the three greatest mathematicians of all time, along with Newton and Gauss. In his time he was referred to by such great aliases as “The wise one”, “The Master”, and “The Great Geometer”. And his work has yet to have been forgotten. He was indubitably was one of the last of the great Greek mathematical minds that this world has ever seen. I will attempt to show

As many people may know, Zeus had many love affairs over the years. One of which resulted in a daughter named Athena. Athena is one of the twelve major Greek gods.
