Greece: Heroism

Chivalry was a trait that Achilles saw to be very important, to strive hard to
perform well in. He showed a few instances were he could have conducted himself
differently but made a gallant decision. This includes when Agamemnon took away
Briesies, Achilles' war prize. Achilles could have become very angry and could
have killed him very easily but he refrained, he spared the Achians leader and
left so no shame could soil his name .....

Reforestation
.... said that new trees pull the
carbon dioxide better than old trees, and this may seem true, but it is
not. There is one point being overlooked from all of this. The older,
larger trees can store much, much more carbon dioxide than a new tree
could. By cutting and burning these magnificent seasoned trees, the CO2
is being released back into the atmosphere. These releases of carbon
dioxide add up in our surroundings, only to intensify Global Warming.
Although this shows what happens when one burns an .....

The Olympic Games
.... is 776 BC, although virtually all historians presume that the Games
began well before then.
It is certain that during the midsummer of 776 BC a festival was held at
Olympia on the highly civilized eastern coast of the Peloponnesian peninsula.
That festival remained a regularly scheduled event, taking place during the pre-
Christian golden age of Greece. As a testimony to the religious nature of the
Games, which were held in honor of Zeus, the most important god in the ancient
Greek pantheo .....

silhouettes as the hieroglyphic for “primeval mound”, the first piece of earth
to emerge from the soup of creation (Malek 90).
King Djoser's chief architect for his pyramid was Imhotep. It is
thought that King Djoser's stone tomb started out having the standard shape of a
mastaba. Then, as construction progressed, a concept evolved. Imhotep began to
place one flat-topped stone structure atop another until he had created six

Socrates
.... heard is nothing out of the way. Where the
teacher (Socrates) does not even worship the immortal gods, but sets the aside
for his new divinities, one can hardly expect in the pupil much reverence for
age and kinship in mere men." Parents blamed the lack of respect for elders on
Socrates. In truth Renault says that he was only giving them guidance so that
they may guide themselves and be free of petty problems. This guidance and
advice caused these young men to re-think their attitudes. Indeed Alexias .....

Socrates' Moral Decision To Not Escape

Now the state says "Is it alright for you, who thinks so much of virtue, to
destroy us?" Socrates is wise to see that he would be contradicting not only
himself, but he would betray the examples he was trying to set to his followers.
The impact of Socrate's teachings on the world were greatly increased by
his decision. Socrates had no education, therefore none of his own teachings
were ever written. His followers have carried on his messages and lessons into .....

fields, a thriving vineyard, a herd of longhorn cattle, and a dancing circle.
Once Hephaestus completes the shield he makes a breastplate and helmet for
Achilles. The armor he forges is indestructible and worthy of a god. Through
Homer's description of the shield and how it is forged, the reader can begin to
understand the importance and value of this device in a literary context.
