The Development of Greek Culture BCE

Notice that Greek settlements are widely scattered throughout the Mediterranean region by 550 BCE. What did these colonies develop?

Myths and stories were written in the Greek language which developed from the Phoenician script. Why is a written language important?

These early Greek writings became the foundation of Greek culture. Two main sources: Homer’s writings, -The Iliad -The Odyssey Mythology

Homer was a blind storyteller from the Greek civilization of Mycenae. His stories date back to 700 BCE and reveal legendary heroes of the Greeks’ war with the city of Troy. Statue of Homer, Munich

Homer’s stories were later written as epic poems, The Iliad and The Odyssey. What does “epic” mean? “…A literary work about a hero, amazing adventures or an otherwise intense or amazing story. Often, an epic tale involves a hero on an adventurous quest to rescue another main character, to save the world in some manner, or to defend his community against a rival or enemy. -Education, Seattle Pi

What do you already know about the Trojan War? Talk to your neighbor.

The Trojan War is believed to have occurred around 1200 BC. The Greeks fought Troy for ten years. Historians believe that the war was over control of the Aegean Sea.

But that is not the story you are familiar with. Homer’s Iliad recounts the story: Helen, beautiful wife of the king of Sparta, falls in love with Paris, the prince of Troy. Helen is kidnapped by Paris and taken to Troy. This sparks a war between the Greeks and the Trojans as the Greeks attempted to invade Troy.

“Beware of Greeks Bearing gifts.” Proverb Talk to your neighbor, what does this mean?

Because they reveal so much about Greek culture, civilization and their values of honor, heroism and courage. Why are Homer’s stories important?

Both stories also reveal much about Greek Mythology. What do you already know about Greek Mythology? Is it polytheistic or monotheistic?

How did Greek mythology affect culture, politics and art? Festivals were held to honor the gods and goddesses Each city state had a patron god or goddess that the Greeks believed protected it. Politically, governments consulted the Gods and goddesses through the Oracle of Delphi The gods and goddesses were the subject of classical art Replica of Athena sculpture that stood at the Parthenon

“Thus, have the gods spun the thread from wretched mortals that live in grief while they themselves are without cares; for two jars stand on the floor of Zeus of the gifts which he gives, one of evils and another of blessings.” The Iliad U.S. Dept. of Justice
