What did early Greek Civilization inherit from Mesopotamia and Egypt?
Early greek civilizations (Cycladic, Minoan, Mycenean) were infuenced from Egypt mainly in regard of maritime technology and not so much in what we now regard as culture. Both mesopotamian and Greeks learned iron working from the Hittites (present day Turkey) around the 11th century B.C. and Greeks got the alphabet from the Phoinicians (present day Syria). Studies in seeds (plants) evolution show that agriculture started in Mesopotamia in the 9th millennium BC and from there to the southern Europe and beyond. Also pottery (with the use of the high speed pottery wheel) was most likely started in that region. Further more is believed that mesopotamian civs were the first to write laws (Hammurabi), and built roads (along with Hittites) as a government project (something that the Roman is creadited for).
What did the Oracle of Delphi state about Socrates?
Oracle of Delphi story: Chaerophon visits the Oracle of Delphi and asks if anyone in Athens is wiser than Socrates. The Oracle answered that no one is wiser than Socrates. Socrates made it his mission in life to test and understand the Oracle's pronouncement. He seeks out people who have a reputation for wisdom in various regards and tests their claims to knowledge through questioning. He discovers a good deal of vain ignorance and false clams to knowledge, but no one with genuine wisdom. Ultimately, Socrates concludes that he is wisest; but not because he possesses special knowledge not had by others. Rather he finds that he is wisest because he recognizes his own lack of knowledge while others think they know, but do not. This is not a skeptical conclusion, however. Socrates does not deny that knowledge is to be had. While he does not claim to have knowledge himself, he shows us how to obtain knowledge by demonstrating a method of testing claims to knowledge.
