By most accounts Aristophanes was the greatest
comic writer of his day. On his shoulders alone
rests an entire age of comedy. By the time
Aristophanes began to write his comedies, the
people of Athens were increasingly demoralized by
the ongoing conflicts of the Peloponnesian War.
That is why in most of his plays there are tones
of apprehension and grief. Lysistrata was written
twenty-one years into the Peloponnesian War.
Although the play is light-hearted, it was written
out of the writers grie...

Time In His Life Passed Laws
686 words
Athens and Sparta were the two major city-states
during the ancient Greece time period. These two
city-states were very different from each other in
many ways. One reason for this was because the
city-states were separated from each other by low
rugged mountains. This made travel and
communication difficult. The main difference
between the two city-states was in their
government. The Athenian government had a
democracy, while the Spartan government had a
military aristocracy. The two governments...

Golden Age Of Athens And Women
779 words
The Golden Age of Athens was one of the most
brilliant eras in Athenian history. Yet this
brilliance did not reflect womens roles during
this time period. The Golden Age of Athens was a
low point for women; through society's opinion of
women, the citys politics, and their household
lives. The Athenians viewed all classes of women
as an unimportant distraction to society. The most
constant view of woman in the Golden Age was that
they were only necessary to produce children.

from natural philosophy, which was concerned with
the nature of the physical realm, to classic

Women In Ancient Greece Athens And Sparta
1,324 words
Most people think of ancient Athens as the city of
freedom and democracy, while they think of Sparta
as a highly restricted society. The schools teach
us that modern democracies are modeled on Athens,
while military dictatorships are modeled on
Sparta. However, history shows us that women had
much more liberty in Sparta than in Athens. In
fact, the democracy of Athens was available only
to free men who were citizens of Athens. Moreover,
to claim citizenship, an Athenian had to prove
that both hi...

... regions of this early temple are significant.
With 6 columns across the front and back and 16 on
each side (counting the corner columns twice), the
temple has a ratio of length to width of nearly
three to one. As time passed, Greek architects
felt these proportions were too elongated. They
progressively reduced the temples length relative
to its width, until by the mid- 5 th century the
ratio was slightly more than two to one. The

First, the mentalities of most citizens are that
of following the crowd. If small groups of people
change their view of our status in activities of
war, they will influence other people to change
their minds, and so on. Slowly we will find that
large areas of Athens will alter their opinions,
not only because they feel that they are right,
but also so that they may fit in with the
majority, therefore spreading the idea of peace
and retraction from fighting. Then if the decision
is made to withdr...

Socrates Believes South Vietnam

The purpose of " Crito" seems intended
to exhibit the character of Socrates in one light
only, not as the philosopher, fulfilling a divine
mission and trusting in the will of Heaven, but
simply as the good citizen, who, having been
unjustly condemned is willing to give up his life
in obedience to the laws of the State. The main
argument that seems to entail the discussion
between Crito and Socrates is the opinion of the
majority on Socrates? fate. In the "

relation of the state to the individual? Should
obedience be paid to the will of the state, or to
the justice with which it conflicts? If loyalty is
required, is it conditional; necessary only part
of the time? And, given that the state and the
individual will inevitably disagree on some
issues, who suffers in the end? Through their
writings, Plato and Sophocles outline two sides of
this issue. In Euthyphro, The Apology, and Crito
Plato expresses a ...

Shakespeare offers a wonderful contrast in human
mentality. Shakespeare provides insight into man s
conflict with the rational versus the emotional
characteristics of our behavior through his
settings. The rational, logical side is
represented by Athens, with its flourishing
government and society. The wilder emotional side
is represented by the fairy woods. Here things do
