we owe much to the ancient Greeks from
the invention of democracy to citizens
participation in government to the
Olympic Games the Greeks laid the
foundations of science and created
quests and drama
the Romans conquered and unified Europe
their greatest achievements lay in
administration infrastructure and above
all their system of law
the Vikings amnon to the world stage as
Raiders from the sea but they went on to
build a vast network of Trade and they
were the first to discover America
between them these three peoples were
the founders of Europe
[Music]
our journey into the past takes us first
to ancient Greece known to this day as
the cradle of Europe
[Music]
the land of the Greeks a Mediterranean
world of ancient temples of countless
gods carved in gleaming marble of
mountain villages perched above rugged
coastlines scattered over the sea are
the Greek islands many are bare and
uninhabited but on the mainland
there are huge olive groves in the cool
of the mountains there are oak forests
and even fir trees
[Music]
it was in this land almost 3000 years
ago that the history of the Greeks began
with a hundred city-states
in the eastern Mediterranean
the many empires were constantly
fighting bloody battles were commonplace
they were united only by their language
and their gods who were believed to live
high on Mount Olympus from there they
intervened in human affairs as they
pleased the Greeks had many gods but
only the 12 most important dwelt on
Mount Olympus where they lived as a
single large family the Greeks portrayed
them as ideal human beings their
features are noble and regular they are
tall slim and well proportioned
but ideal as they might appear in their
natures the gods of Greece were all too
human
their stories are shot through with

the game of destiny the most colorful
figure was use known as the father of
the gods and famous for his love of

his sister Demeter both the virgin and
the mother governed fertility and the
Hogs
her moody brother the sea god Poseidon
enjoying sinking ships Athena born fully
armored from the head of Zeus stood a
wisdom and war beautiful Aphrodite
looked after loved she was married but
rarely faithful Dionysus drove away
sorrow he loved wine and ecstatic
festivals and finally Apollo responsible
for all kinds of things but most of all
for the Oracle of Delphi it was unwise
to do anything in ancient Greece without
consulting the gods ideally at the so
called navel of the world healthy
[Applause]
the complex of temples that Delfy
surrounded the most influential Oracle
of the Greek world thousands of pilgrims
made their way to Delfy taking with them
animals for sacrifice for all knew that
the Oracle required of precious
sacrificial gift Rahman have young
agimpels stellenbosch does they admit
anything many ordinary people made the
journey in the hope that fate would
decide in their favor and Kings from
Croesus to Alexander the Great anxiously
awaited the right prophecy
[Music]
success or failure to go to war or not
victory or defeat it all lay with the
pronouncements of the Oracle
[Music]
we have under this das ich Swedish is be
enough labor time how did you getting
consider so hard the attitude the words
of the oracle were delivered by the
Pythia a priestess inspired by apollo
pilgrims were not permitted to address
the Pythia directly they submitted their
questions to the priests who then passed
them on to the right took place behind
closed doors
no one has ever discovered exactly what
went on in the inner sanctum
according to tradition the Pythia fell
into a deep trance
only when she had reached delirium could
she receive the messages of the gods
when the priestess finally proclaimed
the Oracle her words sounded confused as
if she were intoxicated
there is long beans speculation as to
how the Pythia into the trance one
explanation is that she breathed in
methane and carbon monoxide that issued
from fissures in the ground
inhaling these gases can deprive the

it could even be said that the priests
were running Greece's largest financial
center the two most important Delphic
principals know thyself and nothing in
excess are said to have been carved
above the porch of the temple however
the most important thing of all was to
have the unpredictable gods on your side
even the powerful city of Athens
deposited its votive offerings in
Delphic the other city-states also
entrusted their earnings to the
sanctuary of Apollo the faraway Greek
colonies were largely independent but
probably had Oracle's and treasure
houses of their own for centuries the
Greek temples and treasure houses cast
their spell on artists architects and
poets
today they attract visitors from all
over the world two of the most famous
are the temple of Harrah in sicily and
the temple of poseidon not far from
athens
while most ancient Greeks believed in
their mythology and the will of the gods
Greek scholars were open to other
explanations of the world they tried to
understand the world by reflecting upon
it the first step was a thorough
observation of nature Greek researchers
drew conclusions from the mating
behavior of bees or measure the
circumference of the earth with
instruments of their own devising
[Music]
the Greeks designed the water clock even
if only to regulate the speaking time of
politicians
[Music]
they built equipment such as a machine
for drawing lots for the allocation of
official positions the scholars were no
longer satisfied with stories of the
gods they wanted to identify cause and
effect and to record them as laws these
inquiring minds called themselves
philosophers Friends of wisdom they are
regarded as the founders of science from
the 6th century BC onwards their will to
understand spread through all of Greece
schools of philosophy the forerunners of
today's research centers sprang up like
temples of learning
[Music]
in the 16th century Rome returned to the
ideas of antiquity pope julius ii
celebrated the great philosophers in a
fresco Raphael's School of Athens one of
them is Socrates who tormented the
Athenians with uncomfortable questions
and declared I know that I know nothing
white-bearded Plato established the
world's first school of philosophy its
central concern was the search for truth
beside him is his pupil Aristotle who
invented systematic logic
[Music]
then there's Diogenes famous even though
little is known of it and the great
Archimedes already famous during his
lifetime for his scientific ingenuity
Archimedes reputation won him a very
special assignment he had to discover
whether a royal crown was made of pure
gold or had been alloyed with some
cheaper metal it was a challenging task
as the precious crown could not be
damaged in any way the idea that saved
Archimedes came to him in the barn the
tub was full and when he got in it began
to overflow
[Music]
Archimedes realized that the volume of
the water that had overflowed Khorasan
did approximately to the volume of his
own body he concluded that the volume of
bodies and even their density could be
calculated by the volume of water they
displaced
[Music]
he realized that he could use the water
method to determine mathematically
whether or not the cran was of pure gold
he observed that an object with a
density lower than that of water
displaced more liquid than an object
with a higher density the comparison
only worked however if the two objects
were of the same weight it is said the
dark immediate was so delighted by his
discovery that he cried Eureka I found
it and ran out naked into the street
so Archimedes took the crown and the
lump of pure gold of the same weight if
the crown was a pure gold it would
displace the same amount of water as the
lump of gold
however the crown displaced far more
proving it was not pure gold
this was not the only problem solved by
the ingenious Archimedes to this day he
is regarded as one of the best minds of
all time and his Archimedean principle
still stands his fellow scholars were
not to be outdone they designed the
first world map with longitude and
latitude
[Music]
they discovered that the earth is a
sphere and ptolemy calculated the
movement of the planets and other
celestial bodies in relation to it the
list also includes the first
steam-powered machine and the invention
of the water pump in addition the Greeks
developed equipment such as the catapult
and protective vests for their soldiers
Archimedes formulated the law of the
lever laying the foundations for the
development of mechanics we even know
disciplines such as geometry and algebra
to the Friends of wisdom without the
great scholars of antiquity and their
observations calculations and
discoveries much of what we now take for
granted would not exist perhaps there
would never have been domes on top of
churches there would be no explanation
of the building blocks of the earth or
any nuclear research
the Industrial Revolution at the
beginning of the 19th century might
never have happened
ocean liners might have remained early
in the 6th century BC a reform was
implemented in Athens that would
radically change the lives of the Greeks
an estimated 80,000 Athenians witnessed
a political revolution the city-state
was in crisis the ordinary people had
revolted against the king and the nobles
they wanted to say in all important
decisions it was the birth of the public
assembly every citizen of Athens could
participate or almost everyone only men
aged 18 and over were permitted there
was almost always a crowd the poor
received the daily payment for attending
so that they too could have their say
[Music]
maybe dude I got a no in order
the citizens of Athens met once a month
in a square near the Acropolis to engage
in politics
I got it us one time what about that
this monthly People's Assembly was the
first of its kind in the history of the
world which introduction not the
beginning of a new system democracy
symbols of the new system were
harmonious and Alistair Gaytan two
Athenians who assassinated the tyrant
Hipparchus it was quite different in
varville Egypt and the ancient East
their rulers continued to represent
themselves as gods the law was always on
the side of the despots their people had
few rights but still had to give their
lives in battle it may be surprising but
democracy was born from such a crisis
at first the Greeks fought only one
another but then they had to defend
themselves against the Persians every
man was needed in the battle against the
foreign invader all those who were fit
to fight from the nobles to the peasants
joined the army the armies of the
city-states had thousands upon thousands
of men rich and poor faulting closed
ranks shoulder to shoulder for their
country's independence initial Athens
built a new Navy its thousands of rowers
came from among the poor together the
Greeks were strong they defeated the
Persians in two decisive battles
marathon on land and Salamis at sea the
victories boosted the growth of Athenian
democracy having risk their lives
constantly for the state the poorest
citizens insisted on their right to a
say in its direction everyone who fought
were the peasant or day laborer noble or
ordinary citizens wanted to play his
part by the early 5th century BC
democracy was firmly established in

with the French Revolution democracy
finally returned to continental yoga
women have had the right to vote since
the early 20th century the right of the
people to participate in government is
now a basic principle throughout the
Western world
[Music]
but in ancient Greece the precondition
for participation and politics was to be
a good warrior for young men physical
fitness was compulsory
although they learned a little rhetoric
and grammar in the schools boys into
sport they performed it naked in Greek
gymnast thus the word gymnasium means
literally naked place the demands on the
boys were extremely high those who
showed talent during training were given
special assistance to help them compete
in the main sporting events it was one
of the principal aims of the Greeks to
have a well schooled body they were the
first people to revere the proportions
of a human body and to record them in
stone
for the first time statues look like
flesh-and-blood human beings the
flawlessness of Greek sculpture sets the
aesthetic standard to this day the
Renaissance took up the Greek ideal once
more creating fresh masterpieces
[Music]
however the artists of the Renaissance
were more concerned with the perfect
representation of human anatomy than
they were with developing a perfect body
few Renaissance men ever subjected their
own bodies to harm training

live on in the modern world even a few

it was very different for the youth of
Greece if they were not training for war
they were training for athletic
competition there were around 300 events
spread over the year
everyone who took part did so to win
victory brought cash prices and helped
in one's career
all of the Greek sporting disciplines
survived today the discus was there from
the beginning as well as the javelin
both require strength and a
sophisticated technique the Greeks also
pioneered boxing although the rules on
our much stricter and in running all
that matters in the 21st century is
world records the Greeks greatest
sporting event the Olympic Games was
held every four years from the sanctuary
of Olympia messengers toward all of
Greece to announce the beginning of the
games all the city states even avowed
enemies were invited and all fighting
had to stop
during the games a truce
the Olympic peace prevailed throughout
the Greek world tens of thousands
attended the spectacle it was originally
dedicated to Zeus gymnasiums were made
available so that competitors could
trade during the games the athletes were
two lakh for nothing for then as now
they were idolized those who won
received the laurel crown and eternal
glory

the 5th century AD the Olympics had
faded away the Christian Emperor
Theodosius banned pagan religions and
Olympia itself disappeared
first beneath a city and then under
metres of rubble
[Music]
it was not until the late 19th century
that archaeologists uncovered the ruins
once again Olympia was on everyone's
lips in 1896 the first modern Olympic
Games were held in Athens very soon
women were allowed to compete
later black athletes were also admitted
[Music]
it is impossible to imagine the
globalized world of the 21st century
without the Olympic Games regardless of
which country hosts them they are seen
as a universal symbol of peace and

important legacy is the theater

in Greek drama there were strict
performance rules and each play was
performed only once on the stage there
were only three actors all of the men
they wore masks to play different parts
the old the young and of course women
what counted was the grand gesture a
loud voice and good diction there was
also a chorus which moved the story
forward and explained its background
these are the finished status but most
important of all was the patron a
nobleman who paid for the production's

the idea of the theater as a purifier of

conflicts is still influential today and
has developed new forms now it is not
only the world stages but also its
screens that tells stories of tragic or
happy events every night when pictures
began to move film took the lead from
theatres the dream factories of the
cinema reached the hearts of millions

there are always new heroes to conquer

[Music]
the culture of the Greeks spread
throughout the known world
in no small part because of the king of
Macedonia
Alexander the Great
in the 4th century BC Alexander set out
to conquer the world
he brought Greek city-states to their
knees on one of far-reaching empire
throughout his empire
Alexander established the Greek language
and Greek education in doing so he
founded the era of Hellenism from his
native city of Pella
Alexander carried the Greek heritage all
the way to India by then however the
Golden Age of Athens was long since over
after Alexander's death his empire broke
up and a new power emerged Rome the
Romans were specialists in conquest in
contrast to the ever quarreling Greeks
they emphasized organization and
discipline it was not difficult for the
Roman legions to subjugate the small
Greek city-states
once and for all
politically the Greeks remained what
they were at the beginning
individualistic and divided they were
incapable of uniting against the Romans

with their art of storytelling they
created great works of world's
literature and inspired the film
industry
the huge venues that today attract
thousands of spectators can be traced
back to the theaters of the Greeks
[Music]
and the idea of bringing many people's
together in peaceful competition is
still celebrated every four years at the
Olympic Games around the globe and
across all borders
but the most important legacy of ancient
Greece is an idea
the idea that the citizens are the
masters of the state and govern it with
laws that they themselves have adopted
many European countries would probably
not be democracies today if not for the
revolutionary reforms of the ancient
Greeks and not just European countries
Abraham Lincoln echoed the Greeks in his
dictum government of the people by the
people for the people the achievements
of the ancient Greeks have stood the
test of time to this day they influenced
profoundly the life and thought of the
Western world there can be no doubt that
ancient Greece was the cradle of our
culture
