Pre-Viewing Questions and Activity

1. Man is a measure of all things. What is the meaning of this phrase? How does it exemplify Greek humanism? Do you agree with the philosophy?

2. Look for examples of humanism in Greek art and architecture.

3. What is "community"? Define it. What definition does the programme give?

 

While watching find the answers to the following questions

1. Where did the Dorian tribes come from?

2. Where did the Ionians come from?

3. Where did they settle?

4. What level of culture had they attained?

5. Why do we look to Ancient Greece for the roots of Western Man?

6. In what way were these early Greeks different from previous civilizations?

7. Was the most striking difference their commitment to man himself, to his capacities, his potential and his ideals?

8. Were the Greeks history's first humanists?

9. Did they believe that man was the measure of all things?

10. Did they wish to survive in freedom and dignity? What human values did they aspire to?

11. Do their ideals exert enormous influence today?

12. What is the difference between the Greek and the Egyptian civilizations?

 

 

Egypt 1. Ancient Egypt was concerned with deathand with the life hereafter. 2. The Egyptians built the most famous cemetery in the world, the Pharaohs wanted to prolong their life into eternity. 3. For most Egyptians the ideas of reason and freedom did not exist, human life had little value. Greece 1. For the Greeks, on the other hand, reason, democracy and life here-and-now were all important. 2. Their interest in man was so great, that the Greek gods were anthropomorphic, that is, created in the image and shape of man.  

 

13. Were gods and goddesses in the form of superhumans? Did they fight like humans? Were they angry and jealous? Did they make love? Did they take sides in the wars of man? Were gods created by the poet, priest and sculptor in the form of the powerful, dignified and graceful human beings?

14. In what way are the gods in Ancient Egypt represented? By animals or distorted humans?

15. Did the Greeks believe the human being to be the module, or basic unit of measure? Did they identify the human being with the characteristics of the column? Why? (strong, orderly, proud, erect, beautiful).

The column symbolized Man, while Man symbolized life, the intellect and the human spirit. The Greeks dedicated their temples not only to the gods, but also to the idea of Man. Man was the measure of all things, even of his gods. Just as each column contributed to the whole structure, so each human contributed his support to the whole community.

16. What is community? What is polis? Was it intended to exert force or oppress the individual? Did it influence all aspects of their lives - moral, intellectual, social, aesthetic, spiritual and practical? Did the word "polis" stand for the integrated relationship, which governed every aspect? What else did it mean? (It was a community, a city and a state, all in all. The Acropolis - the physical centre of the polis. Acro = high, polis = city).

17. When was the Athenian Acropolis erected?

18. What did the Greeks take part in? (refinements, subtleties, not in huge dimensions).

19. What are the four buildings that crowned the great age? Were they excellently planned, down to the last detail? Is such excellence rare?

Post-Viewing Questions and Activities

1. Compare the Greek and Egyptian beliefs and lifestyles.

2. How did the art of each culture reflect that culture's belief in the value of earthly life?

3. What was the polis (both the idea and the place)? How did the ideas of the polis reflect the humanistic philosophy of the Greeks?
