Extractions: Stoicism school of philosophy founded by Zeno of Citium (in Cyprus) c.300 b.c. The first Stoics were so called because they met in the Stoa Poecile [Gr.,=painted porch], at Athens, a colonnade near the Agora, to hear their master Zeno lecture. He had studied with Crates the Cynic, and his own teaching included the Cynic adaptation of the Socratic ideals of virtue, endurance, and self-sufficiency. He added to them the explanation of the physical universe given by Heraclitus and something of the logic of Aristotle. The development and organization of Zeno's doctrines into a great system of metaphysics was the work of Chrysippus (c.280-207 b.c. ), successor to Cleanthes. Among the acknowledged leaders of the Stoics in the following period was Panaetius of Rhodes, who in the 2d cent. b.c. introduced Stoicism into Rome. He and his pupil Posidonius sought to lessen the attacks of critics by mingling with the Stoic doctrines some of Plato's psychological views. Cicero, a pupil of Posidonius, was indebted to a work of Panaetius for the basis of his own treatise De officiis.

Extractions: by R.P.Oliver Appendix The most important fact about Stoicism is that it was not a product of the Greek mind and was therefore an alien doctrine foisted onto the Aryan peoples of Antiquity.A1 He was a merchant engaged in the export trade, and when he was more than thirty years of age, he brought a cargo of dye-stuffs to Greece, but was ruined when his ship was wrecked in or near the Piraeus, the harbor of Athens. He walked to the city, where he listened to the lectures of philosophers, doubtless trying to become fluent in Greek, a language which he seems to have spoken with a heavy accent and of which he evidently knew only enough for bargaining in commercial transactions. De republica Zeno’s book was pure Communism – not the practical Communism of Lenin and Stalin, but the Utopian communism that was so successfully used as sucker-bait in the later Nineteenth Century and was scarcely distinguished from anarchism before Marx’s quarrel with Bakunin, which promised that after the Revolution the state would "wither away" and mankind would become one glorious mass of raceless proletarians. We do not know whether Zeno candidly faced the problem of how a nationless and raceless world was to be created and admitted that it would be necessary to slaughter the better part of every civilized society, but he taught that men would somehow become so reasonable that states, governments, courts, police, religion, money, private property, and marriage would be abolished, and the world would be filled with a mass of raceless proletarians, all cuddling one another, freely exchanging the products of their labor, and having all women in common.A3

Extractions: An eclectic, widely read and systematic scholar, Posidonius has been compared by many historians to Democritus and Aristotle. He travelled extensively, and used his voyages to make a systematic study of the geography of numerous countries in both the East and the West. He travelled to North Africa, the Iberian Peninsula and the Balearic Islands, to the shores of the Atlantic, to Britain and Germany, to the lands bordering the Adriatic, to Sicily and Sardinia, and to France, particularly the area around Massalia.

Extractions: ...let me tell you about winds. There is a whirlwind from Southern Morocco, the Aajej, against which the fellahin defend themselves with knives. And there is the Ghibli from Tunis which rolls and rolls and rolls and produces a rather strange nervous condition... and then there's the Harmatton, a red wind which mariners call the sea of blood. Red sand from this wind has flown as far as the south coast of England apparently producing showers so dense they were mistaken for blood... Herodotus...writes about a wind, the Simoom, which a nation thought was so evil they declared war on it and marched out against it in full battle dress. - Almásy's speech in Anthony Minghella's screenplay of The English Patient (1) mythological; (7) locutions. Due to the extremely large corpus of material, a selection has been made to show the most important points available, and, as before, we shall pass through each of the categories to enable us to see the wider picture. Appendix 3 shows a list of all references in the ancient literature to Wind-gods and to meteorological winds. The cause of the weather was taken very seriously in ancient times, being a force of nature that was beyond human control save for attempts to influence its path and ferocity by magic, prayers and offerings. Men of a philosophical bent, beginning with the Presocratics, attempted to explain the weather in all its variables by the constant flux of the elements that they believed constituted the universe, in particular, air, water, fire and aether. Aristotle was the first of the second generation to suggest any serious causes for the inception of the weather, and his works

RealSlideShow: The Antikythera Mechanism Aristotelian science loses its creditability after the Copernican Revolution, yet it produced this stunning relic of ancient technology. In several ways, however, ancient Greek science was more advanced than is usually acknowledged. For example, Over 200 years before the birth of Christ the Greek scholar Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of the Earth to be 25,000, just 99 miles more than the actual figure, 24, 901 miles. Although Eratosthenes made mistakes in his calculations, these mistakes cancelled each other out to produce a very accurate result. Several decades later, another Greek scientist, Posidonius, believing Eratosthenes to be wrong, calculated the circumference to be 18,000 miles (this figure Columbus would use when planing the voyage that resulted with the European discovery of the New World). Posidonius was from Rhodes, where the Antikythera Mechanism is thought to originate. The Antikythera Mechanism is one of the most outstanding archeological finds of the Twentieth century. Its technology, 1,000 years ahead of its time, was lost to history until 1959.
