  1. Greek Mythology & Greek Contributions

  2. What is Greek Mythology? • The Greeks used to explain how and why things happen by using gods and goddesses. If something happened that was good, that particular god was pleased. If something bad happened, that god was angry.

  3. Major Greek Gods

  4. Greek Contributions (1-10) • 1.The ancient Greeks invented Democracy. • 2.The ancient Greeks invented Tragedy, Comedy, Drama, and Theatre. • 3.The ancient Greeks invented Logic. • 4. The ancient Greeks invented Science. • 5. The ancient Greeks invented Lyrics. • 6. The ancient Greeks invented the field of study we call History.

  5. 7. Medicine-Hippocrates of Cos, known as the Father of Medicine. The Greeks alone called their healers physicians, which means “those versed in the ways of nature.” The highest ethical standards were demanded from the physicians of that time, who were required to take the celebrated Hippocratic Oath, an oath still taken by physicians today. • 8. The ancient Greeks revolutionized Architecture, Sculpture, and Painting

  6. 9. The ancient Greeks developed Literature, Oratory, and Rhetoric into perfected art-forms. Rhetoric is defined as the art of persuasive, impressive, or eloquent speaking or writing. Among no other people has public speaking been so important and effective as among the citizens of the world’s first Democracy, in which every decision of state was publicly debated in plenary assembly. • 10. The ancient Greeks invented Philosophy. It means, literally, Love of Wisdom. The Oxford Concise Dictionary defines Philosophy as “Seeking after wisdom or knowledge, especially that which deals with ultimate reality, or with the most general causes and principles of things and ideas and human perception of them, physical phenomena (as in natural philosophy), and ethics (as in moral philosophy); advanced learning in general (as in doctor of Philosophy); a philosophical system; system of principles for conduct of life; serenity, calmness.”

  7. Olympics • The ancient Olympic Games were primarily a part of a religious festival in honor of Zeus, the father of the Greek gods and goddesses. The festival and the games were held in Olympia (see 'Did you know' in the glossary), a rural sanctuary site (model shown here, courtesy of the British Museum) in the western Peloponnesos.

  8. The ancient Olympic Games began in the year 776 BC, when Koroibos, a cook from the nearby city of Elis, won the stadion race, a foot race 600 feet long. The stadion track at Olympia is shown here. According to some literary traditions, this was the only athletic event of the games for the first 13 Olympic festivals or until 724 BC. From 776 BC, the Games were held in Olympia every four years for almost 12 centuries.
