Today in class, we went over some of our vocab words or terms. Here are some good definitions of the ones we went over.
Agora- a voting area to meet and discuss
Arete- excellence at any time; the act of living up to one's potential
Polis- a
city state in ancient Greece, especially as considered in its ideal form for
philosophical purposes
508 BC- overthrew the government; the people threw out Tarken and brought in Cleisthenes who shared his power with the people
Socrates- was
a classical Greek philosopher credited as one of the founders of Western
philosophy; teacher of Plato and many more
Death of Socrates- died of forced suicide/hemlock poisoning ---- disrespected gods and corrupted the minds and morals of the youth of that time
Those were the terms we got to today. Three people were late today. We also talked about how the people in Greece voted. They either put a black or white rock in a vase. White and Black stood for Yes and No.
