Ancient Greece EUH 3403 007 (FC) Dr. Philip Kaplan Hours: M W 1:30-2:45 Office: Building 8, room 2533 Room: 2/2083 Office hours: 3 Credits Office phone: 620-2886 www.unf.edu/~pkaplan/greece.html pkaplan@unf.edu Ancient Greece has long been considered the birthplace of many of the ideas which are central to our own society: freedom, democracy, philosophical and scientific thought, humanism. But Greece was and is its own world. It is an ancient civilization whose customs, culture and beliefs were very different from our own. In this course, we will trace the history of this fascinating people, and examine their literary and material culture. We will consider their quest for the perfect form of government, and their inability to live together in peace; their search for the higher truths of existence, and their mythology and religious practices; their artistic and literary achievements, and their love of athletics and games. We will discover that, although their outlook was in some ways profoundly different from our own, we still have very much in common, and much to learn from them. Goals: This course will introduce you to the culture and the history of the ancient Greeks. You will become familiar with some of the key concepts of ancient Greek thought. You will come to appreciate how those concepts have survived to influence American social and political thought. By reading ancient works of history and literature in translation you will learn how the history and ideas of the remote past can be reconstructed using the words of the ancient writers themselves; and you will be exposed to the ways that everyday life may be reconstructed using the tools of archaeology.

Tuesday, 8 April 2003 09:23 Back Print History and Culture The territory of Bulgaria has been inhabited since the earliest historical times: the Stone Age and the Chalcolithic Age. Archaeological discoveries from that time have been made near Karlovo, in the region of the towns of Nova Zagora, Veliko Turnovo, Vidin, Sofia, Teteven, Troyan and in the Rhodope Mountains. The oldest gold treasure in the world, discovered near Varna, is dated to that time. During the Bronze Age the present-day Bulgarian lands were inhabited by the Thracians, mentioned for the first time by Homer. They were engaged in agriculture and stockbreeding, and left evidence of a rich culture (the Vulchitrun gold treasure). The first Thracian state unions emerged in the 11th-6th centuries BC, which flourished in the 7th-6th centuries BC. In the 1st century BC their lands were conquered by Rome, and after the 5th century AD they were incorporated in the Byzantine Empire. The Thracians were later gradually assimilated by the Slavs who settled in the Balkan Peninsula in the 6th century AD. In the second half of the 7th century, the Proto-Bulgarians - an ethnic community of Turkic origin - settled on the territory of the present-day Northeastern Bulgaria. In alliance with the Slavs they formed the Bulgarian State, which was recognised by the Byzantine Empire in 681 AD. Khan Asparouh stood at the head of that state and Pliska was made its capital.

DIGNITY Arhiv na Makedonija Archives of Macedonia Online Journal on Macedonian History and Culture MAKEDONIKA Web Site HLA genes in Macedonians and the sub-Saharan origin of the Greeks Abstract: HLA alleles have been determined in individuals from the Republic of Macedonia by DNA typing and sequencing. HLA-A, -B, -DR, -DQ allele frequencies and extended haplotypes have been for the first time determined and the results compared to those of other Mediterraneans, particularly with their neighbouring Greeks. Genetic distances, neighbor-joining dendrograms and correspondence analysis have been performed. The following conclusions have been reached: 1) Macedonians belong to the ``older'' Mediterranean substratum, like Iberians (including Basques), North Africans, Italians, French, Cretans, Jews, Lebanese, Turks (Anatolians), Armenians and Iranians, 2) Macedonians are not related with geographically close Greeks, who do not belong to the ``older'' Mediterranenan substratum, 3) Greeks are found to have a substantial relatedness to sub-Saharan (Ethiopian) people, which separate them from other Mediterranean groups

89. History Of Ancient Greece as the first democracy in the history of the its primitive monarchical form of governmentwith little rising power of its democratic rival in central greece. http://www.crystalinks.com/greekhistory.html

History of Ancient Greece One of the great paradoxes of history is that the next hesitant advance of European civilization - the development of the first city-states - took place not on the fertile open central European plains, but in a remote island to the south of the Aegean Sea which was completely lacking in metal resources. While the glittering mounted warrior-princes of central Europe dissipated their creative energy in warefare, a highly cultured yet peaceful society, built on trade and an agricultural surplus, emerged on Crete. The history of Greece can be traced back to Stone Age hunters. Later came early farmers and thecivilizations of the Minoan and Mycenaean kings. This was followed by a period of wars and invasions, known as the Dark Ages. In about 1100 BC, a people called the Dorians invaded from the north and spread down the west coast. In the period from 500-336 BC Greece was divided into small city states, each of which consisted of a city and its surrounding countryside. Chronology Neolithic Period (6000 - 2900) Neolithic Cultures Early Bronze Age (2900 - 2000) - The period in antiquity that corresponds to the introduction of metallurgy, notably bronze-working, for making tools, weapons, and ceremonial objects.

Their beliefs, entertainment, and the Category Society history By Time Period Ancient greece...... Athens was the intellectual center of greece. This form of governmentwas used at a meeting place which the Greeks called the Assembly. http://www.arwhead.com/Greeks/

(This Site is Intended for Educational Purposes) The ancient Greeks (mainly the Athenians ) were a unique people. They believed that individuals should be free as long as they acted within the laws of Greece. This allowed them the opportunity to excel in any direction they chose. Individuality, as the Greeks viewed it, was the basis of their society. The ability to strive for excellence, no matter what the challenge, was what the Athenians so dearly believed in. This strive for excellence was the method from which they achieved such phenomenal accomplishments. These accomplishments astound us to this day. They also believed in the balance of mind and body. Although many of them strove to become soldiers and athletes , others ventured into philosophy, drama pottery and the arts . The two most important concepts which the ancient Greeks followed were found inscribed on the great shrine of Delphi, which read "Nothing in excess" and "Know thyself". This philosophy greatly impacted the Greek civilization. Athens was the intellectual center of Greece. It was one of the first city-states of its time, and is still world renowned as one of the most famous cities in the world. It was named after Athena, the goddess of wisdom and the city's patron. In 508 BC, Athens became one of the first societies in ancient times to establish democracy. Democracy came from the Greek words
