The modern world is deeply attracted to ancient Greece.
About one million people visit the Parthenon every year and wander around the ruins.
Because they believe in this place and its culture
The super examples have something important to tell them.
But this is usually not so clear what it is.
What can ancient Greece do for us?
This is a big secular but central issue.
Maybe there are 5 big ideas we can get from ancient Greece.
tragedy
The Greeks think this is especially important for everyone to witness
A certain glorious story is called a tragedy.
Some come to the festival of these tragedies
The governments closed the civil building business and the courts to get citizens out to watch the show.
Some festivals in Athens, like the Dionysus (Bacchus) Festival starting at 508 BC
It will last for a week and there are as many as 17 tragedies.
Famous tragedies include Oresteia of Aeschylus
Ajax of Sophocles, King of Oedipus and Electra and Medeia of Euripedes.
The characters in these tragedies violate a secondary law or
Making a hasty decision or sleeping with the wrong person results in humiliation and death before the public.
And what is seen is what happens to a large extent
The Greeks are called destiny or the hands of the gods.
This is what the Greeks poetically say that many things happen in a dynamic random way.
It does not reflect the merits of the person concerned.
In Poetics, the philosopher Aristotle defines some of the key elements of tragedy:
The hero in the tragedy should be a righteous person, better than the average.
Usually born noble but easy to make small mistakes like all of us.
At first it can be obvious that it is a mistake they made.
But through a series of things that can’t completely blame them
This little mistake leads to a catastrophe.
Tragedy is compassionate and morally complex.
How can a good person fall into various disaster situations.
It and today’s lace news tabloid or social media
Use a group of people to make a judgment on those who made mistakes.
Aristotle believes that it is very important for people to watch tragic works on a regular basis.
To counter their otherwise strong tendencies for judgment and moral preaching.
Tragedy means as a correction to easy judgment.
Without the idea of tragedy, we can make everyone’s survival more than what is actually needed.
Far from being cruel and far from being judged.
We should look at the Greeks later to restore a particularly important idea.
philosophy
Athens is the cradle of philosophy.
The hometown of these three greatest philosophers:
Socrates, Plato and Aristotle
The union of Greek philosophers is a way of exploring what they call eudaimonia.
This translation is happy or satisfying.
They see philosophy as a very practical topic that can help people through
Find a way out in the dilemma of life.
The method has been included in the word philosopy.
In Greek, Philo means love or concentration and Sophia means wisdom.
Philosophers are those who focus on wisdom.
If the concept of wisdom is not mysterious, it will be abstract.
Having wisdom means coming to live and die
Come live a life as good as possible under the various conditions of survival.
The history of Greek philosophy we call it is repeated for centuries.
Try to solve some of our methods that are not smart enough
So, for example, Socrates pays special attention to how people confuse this problem in their hearts.
He noticed that people don’t know some key ideas.
What do you mean like brave or just or successful?
These are the main ideas even when they are used to talk about their own lives.
Socrates developed a way of still bearing his name, by disregarding any thoughts and disagreeing with you.
So you can learn to clarify what you mean.
Its purpose is not necessarily to change your mind.
It is going to test whether the idea that led to your life is right.
A few decades later, the philosopher Aristotle tried to make us more confident about some big problems.
He thinks the best question is that you have to ask what a thing is doing.
He did a lot and asked in many books.
Why is the government?
Why is the economy?
Why is money?
Why is art?
Today he may encourage us to ask questions like these:
Why is the news media?
Why is marriage?
Why is the erotic palace?
Also active in ancient Greece is the stoic philosophers who are interested in panic.
The ascetic notes the main features of panic:
When we are assuming that things are going well,
We panicked not just because something bad happened but it happened unexpectedly.
So they suggested that we should arm ourselves and not panic to get used to this idea.
Danger, trouble and difficulty Every change is very likely to happen.
Learning Greek philosophy as a whole is the task of absorbing these
And many other lessons and put them into the world today.
The main thing is not only to know that philosophers have said these and those by chance.
Instead, we are committed to using wisdom from now on at the individual and social level.
democracy
Athens is known for its hometown of democracy.
Democracy was first developed in Solon in the 5th century BC and then in Cleisthenes and Ephialtes.
However, democracy was in the late 5th century BC
In Athens and its strong enemy Sparta
A long-term war is under way, and the Peloponnesian war is threatened.
So to remind the Athenians of their importance in a democratic society, the generals Pericles
A fascinating speech was made in 430 BC to commemorate the annual funeral of the fallen soldiers.
Make Pericles’ famous speech so amazing
He is not defending democracy but as a way of managing the country.
He is defending what we might call the spirit of democracy,
An equal, social and comradely spirit
It can be developed in some societies where members feel equal to each other.
The electoral system is rooted in a deeper thing we can call a “companion.”
A feeling that the Greeks found for humanity.
Pericles announced that the administration of Athens pays attention to this majority rather than the minority;
This is why it is called democracy. If we look at some laws, they are for everyone.
Provide justice in their private differences; if there is no permanent social arrangement,
Advances in public life have fallen to such a reputation for status, some consideration of level
Not allowed to intervene by the merits of the matter itself
It must also block poverty; if one can come to serve the country,
He will never be hindered by his unnamed situation.
In the barbarism against the Spartans,
Pericles praises the generosity, public spirit and dignity of the democratic life of Athens.
Pericles said that these moral values enable the Athenians to provide the Greek world and also for our present era.

The Greeks are listed among the best architects.
He participated in five of the seven wonders of the ancient world:
The Temple of Artemis (Earth and Hunting Temple) in Ephesus
The Statue of Zeus in Olympia
Monument at Halicarnassus
Colossus (Colossus) in Rhodes
And the lighthouse in Alexandria.
But the most common and inspiring buildings are their usual temples.
Those majestic structures are typically made of limestone and scattered throughout Greece and its islands.
