The most influential actions Pericles took to expand democracy was to successfully stand up against Cimon. This was a very significant action because Cimon had very strong Pro-Spartan sentiments and strongly opposed the democratic revolution hoping to maintain Aristocratic control over Athens.
The land which was designated or intended for schools is typically referred to as "school land" or "school site."
It was different from school now.
An academy was no myth. It was an actual institution of learning. The name traces back to Plato's school of philosophy, founded approximately 385 BC at Akademia, a sanctuary of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, north of Athens,Greece.
Even assuming that Moses was a historical figure that lived during the dates commonly suggested, roughly 1300 B.C.E., it depends on your definition of "Greece". The Minoan Civilization on Crete is usually considered a "Greek-ish" civilization. It shares much in common with what we think of as traditional Greek civilization, but has a number of distinct qualities. The Minoan Civilization was certainly older than Moses, existing from 2600-1450 B.C.E. Moses was contemporaneous with the Mycenaean civilization and specifically the accepted dates of the Trojan War. The Mycenaean Civilization was from 1600-1100 B.C.E.However, the Ancient Greece that kids are usually taught about in High School, e.g. Classical Greece, with the city-states of Athens, Sparta, Corinth, and Argos, where Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, and Pericles lived, came long after Moses, from roughly 700-300 B.C.E.
Pericles called Athens the school for all Greece, because he believed that Athens was better than all the other cities in culture and government. He believed that all the other city states should follow Athens example.
Athens taught all of Greece by its example
They are different from the others.
Athenian leader Pericles referred to Athens as the 'school of Hellas', Hellas being the Greek word for Greece, and he was claiming that the schools of Greek philosophers at Athens were the centre of learning.
Because Pericles thought Athens was better than all the other city states in Greece. he helped found many school and he even founded his own school.
Athens is the school of Greece.
Plato's school was called the Academy, named after the hero Academus. It was located just outside Athens, Greece.
No city-state had that ''title'' but many of the great ancient thinkers were from Athens.
Athens
Athens was the intellectual center of Greece until Justinian the Great closed the School of Philosophy in 529A.D.
It was painted by Raphael in the Vatican.
It was known as the "school of greece" because it was a center for art, literature, and ideas. Back then you had two major players in Greece, the Spartans and the Athenians. Athens are known for their wisdom and is also where Plato's school of philosophy arose (Akademia, the first university?). This would make sense because Athena is the goddess of wisdom.
