This document provides background information on Greek mythology. It discusses the Greek landscape, history, literature, and religion/culture. The myths originated from oral tradition but were later written down, including in works by Homer and Hesiod. Major playwrights also adapted myths. Romans like Ovid later helped preserve Greek myths. The Greeks believed in many gods and held festivals in their honor. Myths explained natural events and were deeply embedded in Greek life.

The document provides information about the ancient civilizations of Egypt and Greece. It discusses some key similarities and differences between their political structures, religions, architecture, and art. The Egyptian civilization had a highly centralized government focused on the pharaoh, while ancient Greece was decentralized with power distributed among city-states. Both civilizations placed importance on religion and the afterlife, but Egyptian religion focused more on ensuring prosperity after death. Their architecture also reflected differences, as Egyptians built large monumental structures while Greeks focused on smaller, more literary pieces of art.

Ancient Egyptian Religion - Part 1Lisa Brewer

��

This document provides an introduction to the conceptual foundations of ancient Egyptian religion: ma'at (cosmic order), duality, and heka (divine magic). It discusses how ma'at represented order over chaos in the natural world and formed the basis of Egyptian theology. Duality was also important, with gods, principles and aspects of reality understood through balanced opposites. Together these concepts help explain Egyptian religious beliefs like the relationship to the divine, afterlife notions of duality between this world and the next, and how gods could have both positive and negative aspects.

History of Nature 2a Invention of Nature.pdfJohn Wilkins

��

Ancient Greece and Rome developed influential concepts of nature that still impact modern understanding. Greeks viewed nature as all-encompassing and perfect in its cycles, though also malleable by outside forces. They distinguished nature from culture and regarded natural order as both descriptive and prescriptive. Romans saw nature as regenerating in a cyclical fashion. Both civilizations regarded uncontrolled wilderness differently than the idealized nature incorporating human presence within cities and cultivated lands. Their ideas of a hierarchical natural order were used to justify social inequalities.

Eleusinian Mysteries Lecture 2mheim

��

The Demeter/Persephone cult centered around the theme of hope. Rituals at Eleusis reinforced confidence in future good times through a sacred story, group activities, and sacred objects. The story involved Persephone's abduction by Hades and her eventual return, symbolizing the seasons and renewal of vegetation. Ritual components included fasting, purification, processions, enactments of the myth, and a secret chest of symbolic objects. The Mysteries gave initiates hope of a better afterlife by commemorating Demeter's teaching of agriculture, on which society depended for survival.

Weekly Forum: Greece Each week, we're going to use this space to continue our discussions about the weekly topics. This means that we share things pertaining to subjects or topics that are related to this week but might not have come up during our face-to-face discussion. · What do you want to add to this week's discussion? · Which "game changer" you felt was significant and why? · Do you have articles, videos, or information that would be pertinent to your fellow students (about one this week's game-changers)? Make a post here are some Examples then response to 2 of them Greek Gods by��Tehya Anguiano��- Monday, February 17, 2020, 9:41 PM When learning that we were going to be talking about Greece, because their culture and their beliefs, I believe are very interesting and something that I believe should be studied more than it is. So when knowing that we were going to talk about Greece I was very excited to present the Greek Gods. Their values and their way of life was very advanced for their time and something that humanity should all learn from. I think it is interesting to belief that there was a god for everything in the world that happened during this time. The Greeks believed that their life was the way it was because of the work of the gods. With Greek Gods comes Greek Mythology, this is the entire story and lives that were created from these gods.�� http://rickriordan.com/extra/meet-the-greek-gods/ Here is link that list all the gods and a description if you're interested! Greece (Part 1) by��Lexy Smith��- Wednesday, February 12, 2020, 9:27 PM I really enjoyed our discussion over Greece today, especially when talking about the term "polis". It reminded me of where I used to live which made me want to learn about the term a bit more. When I was young, I lived about an hour north of Minneapolis. The term polis is a Greek definition for the city-state and was centered in Athens, Sparta, and many others. In Minneapolis specifically, "the name "Minneapolis", meaning "Water City" in a mash-up of the Dakota word��minne��for water, and the Ancient Greek word��polis��for city" (MH Sub I, LLC, 2019). In Ancient Greece, "the polis centered on one town, usually walled, but included the surrounding countryside. The town contained a citadel on raised ground (acropolis) and a marketplace (agora)"��(The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica, 2011) In Minneapolis, different parts of the city are raised to accommodate the Mississippi river. Also, there are a variety of different neighborhoods with a city center in downtown Minneapolis.�� Citations:�� The Editors of Encyclopaedia Britannica. (2011, December 11). Polis.

Demeter was the Greek goddess of the harvest and agriculture. One of the most famous myths about her involves Hades abducting her daughter Persephone. This caused Demeter to place a drought on the earth. She later established the Eleusinian Mysteries, a series of secret religious rites and ceremonies held annually in the city of Eleusis in honor of her and Persephone. The document then provides details about the myths, symbols, and rituals associated with Demeter and the Eleusinian Mysteries, including their spread to Rome.
