John French[11:03:42 AM]: ok

Mike Albritton[11:03:50 AM]: Cahill tels you all about the trojan wars

Mike Albritton[11:04:02 AM]: he makes a big deal out of Hector and his wife.

Mike Albritton[11:04:17 AM]: he puts in this quote from the guy who played George Patton in the movie

Emily Belowich[11:04:28 AM]: what page is that from again?

Garret Ekpunobi[11:04:31 AM]: war is a glorios hell

Nandini Srinivasan[11:04:32 AM]: isnt

Nandini Srinivasan[11:04:34 AM]: he saying

Mike Albritton[11:04:39 AM]: can't remember page number

Nandini Srinivasan[11:04:41 AM]: something

Mike Albritton[11:04:44 AM]: yes, war is a glorious hell.

Nandini Srinivasan[11:04:44 AM]: about like being a man

Nandini Srinivasan[11:04:47 AM]: in ancient greece

Nandini Srinivasan[11:04:48 AM]: sort of?

Mike Albritton[11:04:50 AM]: everybody stop for a second

Garbriella Venuto has joined the chat.

Garret Ekpunobi[11:04:52 AM]: noo

Mike Albritton[11:05:01 AM]: Garret: What does the War is a glorious hell mean?

Mike Albritton[11:05:09 AM]: you wrote about it in your reserach paper.

Ginny Hollingsworth[11:05:15 AM]: ...?

Mike Albritton[11:05:17 AM]: everybody needs to get this, and I htink yo cn help

Lani Mann: andhow hector is a modern man

John French[11:05:33 AM]: Before we continue- just a suggestion. Please put any comments all in ONE message, otherwise it gets awefully confusing.

Ginny Hollingsworth[11:05:45 AM]: oh hey thank jooohnn

Emily Belowich[11:06:12 AM]: garret you still haven't answered mr. albritton's question and we are all awaiting your response...

Mike Albritton[11:06:32 AM]: give him a break! he's typing. it's a big question :)

Jake LiBassi[11:06:46 AM]: hah

Emily Belowich[11:06:52 AM]: sorry

Ginny Hollingsworth[11:07:02 AM]: haha

Garret Ekpunobi[11:07:45 AM]: War is a Glorious hell. This is how Thomas Cahill describes war in his book called Sailing the Wine Dark Sea. When Cahill describes war as a glorious hell, he means a couple of things. War is a glorious hell because it is where countries, states, enemies, and allies all come together for a meeting. It is hell because thousands and thousands of people are killed. When Cahill states this he is referring to the Greeks, but this could very easily apply to the Romans. The Romans fought a lot more than the Greeks, and war was more meaningful to the Romans. The Romans were overall a more violent group of people so one could make the point that this statement could fit the Romans better than the Greeks.

Emily Belowich[11:07:48 AM]: while he's typing I have one question: did you give us back ALL of our homeworks? i feel like i am missing a couple, i might have thrown some out without thinking, but i just want to be sure that you still don't have some of our homeworks

Ginny Hollingsworth[11:08:10 AM]: hahah garret what site did u get that from?

Garret Ekpunobi[11:08:16 AM]: i wrote it

Mike Albritton[11:08:32 AM]: Garret nailed it.

Stephen Phillips[11:08:34 AM]: i agree with him

Nandini Srinivasan[11:08:40 AM]: yeah what garret said

Lani Mann: slow down i have to read the answer!

Garbriella Venuto: ya i agree

John French[11:09:09 AM]: Um- the fact that Garret's font changed for his answer does make me suspicious

Lani Mann: i'll just copy all of the answers into a document on word

Ginny Hollingsworth[11:09:40 AM]: haha john the spy over here

Ginny Hollingsworth[11:09:48 AM]: ...sorry off topic

Stephen Phillips[11:09:50 AM]: good point johnny

Jake LiBassi[11:09:53 AM]: wen u finish typing them in word, can u send them to us?

Nandini Srinivasan[11:10:03 AM]: YES PLEASE

Ginny Hollingsworth[11:10:06 AM]: oooh yah!

John French[11:10:11 AM]: click the attachmets tab in the chat to post word files and such

John French[11:10:15 AM]: thusly:

Mike Albritton[11:10:34 AM]: The big picture is that the Greeks valued honor and glory and striving. Cahill almost worships them for this. But war came at a high price. Homer does a magnificent job of showing the human cost. That's why he in his poem (and Cahill in his quoting of it) spends so much time talking about relationship between Hector and his wife Lani Mann: yea no problem

John French[11:11:39 AM]: Yes, didn't Homer also show people like Odysseus who fought, even though they hated the war, to strenghten his point?

Lani Mann: Which is not common in greece, men did not love their wives the way hector did

Mike Albritton[11:11:54 AM]: Remember the essay question from that Greece test is something like, "How does Homer portray the greek view of war." Garret's lead will take you a long way there. He wrote a kick-rear section of his rome research paper

Lani Mann: which makes him more of a "modern man"

Mike Albritton[11:12:41 AM]: Love the modern man comment, Lani. But you may not be totally fair. Just because we don't have records of how men loved women back then, doesn't mean it didn't happen.

Nandini Srinivasan[11:12:42 AM]: are there going to be any questions on the test about the illiad or the odessy?

Ginny Hollingsworth[11:12:46 AM]: so lani u mean homer didnt stay true to the regual traditions?

Lani Mann: yeah basically

John French[11:13:21 AM]: Mr. Albritton- I believe there is a save transcript function, I cannot click it but I bet you can. It's in the setup tab. That could be helpful.

Mike Albritton[11:13:42 AM]: No questions about odessy. ONly questions on illiad stemming from what we read in SWDS I have clicked save transcript button

Mike Albritton[11:14:03 AM]: Man, this is a wiered way to run a review.

Jake LiBassi[11:14:07 AM]: so did homer stay home from war?

Ginny Hollingsworth[11:14:17 AM]: DING-DONG-DANGIT!!!

Ginny Hollingsworth[11:14:19 AM]: :)

Emily Belowich[11:14:27 AM]: In the review packet, one of the questions is "explain Homer's view of war, and compare it to your own." I'm so confused about this one.

Garret Ekpunobi[11:14:28 AM]: virginia may hollingsworth

Mike Albritton[11:14:45 AM]: OK Emily,

Ginny Hollingsworth[11:14:50 AM]: same

Jake LiBassi[11:14:55 AM]: where do u see that emily, like what page

John French[11:15:01 AM]: Ginny, stay on topic. I don't know if there were any wars in homer's time. Remember that he lived long after the stories he wrote about took place.

Emily Belowich[11:15:12 AM]: in the sailing the wine dark sea section

Emily Belowich[11:15:23 AM]: john, dont boss ginny around

John French[11:15:30 AM]: sorry.

Mike Albritton[11:15:30 AM]: The stuff Garret was explaining about Patton's quote in the middle of the first chapter, that is the summary of Homer's view of war.

Ginny Hollingsworth[11:15:42 AM]: jeez jooooooooohn french

Mike Albritton[11:15:53 AM]: Ladies and gentlemen, please, don't put in cross talk. it confusese the issue.

Ginny Hollingsworth[11:16:00 AM]: sorry

Mike Albritton[11:16:05 AM]: forgiven

Mike Albritton[11:16:20 AM]: Emily, ask more and we'll help

Emily Belowich[11:17:00 AM]: got it, so Homer's view was that it war was a glorious hell, oK WAIT ITS ALL COMING BACK TO ME, how it is really a beautiful thing, they are attempting to create peace, but its really just a bloody hell, and there's victories and what not and that is what make's Homer think that war is a glorious hell?!!?!

Lani Mann: I think it's a good idea and look at your SWDS quiz...this is to everyone. Those questions are most likely going to be on the exam. I remember the topics on the quiz also coming up a lot in class and here.

Mike Albritton[11:17:30 AM]: you've got it, Emily.

Garret Ekpunobi[11:17:47 AM]: ya thats right

Nandini Srinivasan[11:17:50 AM]: yeah that quiz was really helpful

Mike Albritton[11:17:51 AM]: go lani. you're right

John French[11:17:53 AM]: Basically, I remember it meaning that war is necessary and glorious, but horrific at the same time. Is that right?

Garret Ekpunobi[11:17:55 AM]: thats wat i was trying to say

Mike Albritton[11:18:27 AM]: John, Garret & Emily, you've got the big idea perfectdly.

Aaron August has joined the chat.

Ginny Hollingsworth[11:18:35 AM]: great...if only i still had my quiz...

Emily Belowich[11:18:37 AM]: YAY!

Garret Ekpunobi[11:18:38 AM]: OH RIGHT!!!!!

Lani Mann: and i agree with emily's answer

Mike Albritton[11:18:53 AM]: now all you need to do is go back and look through the chapter and hang some details on the big picture.

Emily Belowich[11:18:56 AM]: ginns, you can look over my quiz either tonight or in school on monday

Mike Albritton[11:19:10 AM]: you want the name of some of the actors, and rough explanation of what they did.

John French[11:21:10 AM]: Where are they? could you attach them to this chat?

Garbriella Venuto has left the chat.

Nandini Srinivasan[11:30:16 AM]: thank you

Mike Albritton[11:30:19 AM]: oh nuts, I got them backwards. double check the chart!

Stephen Phillips[11:30:19 AM]: do we need to know all the stuff you said

Mike Albritton[11:30:36 AM]: no, I'm just speaking to exercise my fingers and toung1

Emily Belowich[11:30:40 AM]: this is what i wrote in my review packet : The Minoan civilization of Crete became very rich and prosperous in the late Helladic period. Some of their striking features were acquired from Syria, Asia Minor, and Egypt, but they managed to stay unique as a civilization. Other aspects such as jewelry, pottery, and clay tablets seemed to have been influenced by the Mesopotamians. · The Mycenaen civilization differed in many ways from the Minoans. Their wealth was far more greater than the Minoans. The fall of their civilization seemed to diminish more quickly than the Minoans.

Ginny Hollingsworth[11:30:43 AM]: who are the Helots?

John French[11:30:44 AM]: Mr. Albritton- the end of your audio keeps getting cut off. Record a little after you stop talking.

Emily Belowich[11:30:47 AM]: is that right?

Mike Albritton[11:31:00 AM]: of course you need to know this stuff

Mike Albritton[11:31:05 AM]: yes emils, good stuff

Aaron August[11:31:05 AM]: spartan surf/slavesa

Mike Albritton[11:31:17 AM]: ok,let's go on to sparta and athens

Emily Belowich[11:31:18 AM]: do i need to add anything to that?

Mike Albritton[11:31:28 AM]: no emily, you're fine.

Stephen Phillips[11:31:32 AM]: wait what was thetes?

Stephen Phillips[11:31:48 AM]: i missed a few in the wds part

Mike Albritton[11:32:13 AM]: everybody skim the charts for question 3. that's the meat of both difference between athens and sparta and how democracy developed in greece.

Emily Belowich[11:32:45 AM]: can i suggest that we move on to sparta and athens? because if we stay on swds then we are going to be in this chat room forever and i don't think thats what we all want on our snow day...

Nandini Srinivasan[11:32:51 AM]: Athens had lots of different leaders

Emily Belowich[11:32:57 AM]: wait, what charts?

Stephen Phillips[11:32:57 AM]: ok thats cool

Nandini Srinivasan[11:33:03 AM]: and sparta had a monarchy

Nandini Srinivasan[11:33:10 AM]: So that might of affected it?

Nandini Srinivasan[11:33:27 AM]: WAIT no just kidding

Nandini Srinivasan[11:33:36 AM]: sparta had a democracy

Nandini Srinivasan[11:33:39 AM]: ???

John French[11:33:40 AM]: right.

Stephen Phillips[11:33:46 AM]: symposion?

Mike Albritton[11:33:47 AM]: Emily: the charts are in the answers to review question 3 that you just opened

Mike Albritton[11:34:14 AM]: Yes, Sparta did have something like a democracy.

John French[11:34:18 AM]: Monarchy, oligarchy, democracy: 2 kings, Council of elders – 28 over 60; judicial Assembly – all citizens over 30; ratify Ephors – 5 elected annually; foreign policy Foreign policy emphasis: Conquer, then allow to keep land and wealth in return for collaboration in foreign policy and contribution of soldiers. || Style of Gov’t: Monarchy, oligarchy, democracy: 2 kings, Council of elders – 28 over 60; judicial Assembly – all citizens over 30; ratify Ephors – 5 elected annually; foreign policy Foreign policy emphasis: Conquer, then allow to keep land and wealth in return for collaboration in foreign policy and contribution of soldiers. || Males: 0 life or death; 7 to military school; 20 to army; 30 to home but still involved; 60 to retire Females encouraged shift care from family to polis || More inclusive, because needed skilled workers for economic trade. Solon & Pisistratus cultivated idea of participation, that others would not easily be able to diver themselves from. || Much trade Dependence on Helots to produce. In essence, a slave economy with required military power to enforce. || Geography constrained growth Even more trade. Dependence on craftsmen, cash crops to produce high value goods that then they could trade for basic needs plus a profit. As a result, had to extend citizenship to lots more people and be more inclusive. ||
 * || Sparta || Athens ||
 * Political || Style of Gov’t:
 * Social || In order to maintain control of Helots, all emphasis on military training:
 * Economic || Geography constrained growth.

Mike Albritton[11:34:33 AM]: Sparta had a council of elders that advised the kings.

Garret Ekpunobi[11:34:34 AM]: that was uncalled for

John French[11:34:46 AM]: sorry I didn't know it was so big

Garret Ekpunobi[11:34:52 AM]: its ok

Nandini Srinivasan[11:34:57 AM]: ok

Stephen Phillips[11:35:01 AM]: ok can we go over the definitons in the paket

Mike Albritton[11:35:30 AM]: yes, but not before I make a point about the chart JF just inserted.

Mike Albritton[11:35:51 AM]: Guys, this organizes the whole story of the develpment of democracy.

Emily Belowich[11:36:11 AM]: This is what I wrote for one of the homework assignments: Sparta developed its unique form from the board of ephors. Other than being the leaders of gov't institution, the board of ephors oversaw the generalship of the kings on campaign. During Solon's rise to power, he helped to alter some of the ways Athens was being goverened. Slaves were being sold to foreign countries, and Solon quickly helped to change that. He also broadened citizenship to expand a wide range of social classes into the network.

Emily Belowich[11:36:23 AM]: is that right? do i need to add more?

Mike Albritton[11:36:43 AM]: If you can tell youself stories about the eb and flow of movent

John French[11:36:55 AM]: what?

Mike Albritton[11:37:08 AM]: yes emily, but it's not the whole story,

Jake LiBassi[11:37:22 AM]: whats eb

Mike Albritton[11:37:36 AM]: Just shoot me :)

Jake LiBassi[11:37:39 AM]: hah

Mike Albritton[11:37:46 AM]: Eb is what the tide does when it goes out

Mike Albritton[11:37:53 AM]: Flow is what the tide does when it comes in

John French[11:38:01 AM]: oh i thinnk thats ebb

Ginny Hollingsworth[11:38:03 AM]: like made it more complete so it flows better

Mike Albritton[11:38:17 AM]: Eb and flow is the push and pull or back and forth of big powerful things and ideas.

John French[11:38:30 AM]: it's spelled ebb, according to my dictionary

Stephen Phillips[11:38:39 AM]: irrelevant

John French[11:38:42 AM]: sorry

Mike Albritton[11:38:56 AM]: Anyway, if you can get a handle on these peoploe, and the conditions they were dealing with, you can fill in the details with your imagination.

Garret Ekpunobi[11:39:05 AM]: haha

John French[11:39:07 AM]: thanks for clarifying that

Mike Albritton[11:39:11 AM]: The low level people were getting crumped on, as they do all the time.

Mike Albritton[11:39:21 AM]: The powerful elite were making rules to serve their own interests.

Mike Albritton[11:39:36 AM]: Solon comes along, and sees civil war is going to result if he doesn't do something.

Emily Belowich[11:39:36 AM]: Athens and Sparta came to blows in the Great Peloponnesian war because the 30 years of peace endured a little more than 10 years. After many disputes, they both declared war. Sparta's strategy was more traditional: invade Athens and threaten crops, forcing Athens to defend thenmselves in battle. Athenian's strategy was to take pride in their own land and to not let Sparta hurt Athens or invade them at all. Sparta won due to the collapse of the Athenian empire.

Nandini Srinivasan[11:39:40 AM]: And solon changed that?

Mike Albritton[11:39:55 AM]: No, solon didn't change great peloponesian war.

Mike Albritton[11:40:03 AM]: yes, nandin, solon did change that

Mike Albritton[11:40:09 AM]: He didn't totally change it,

Emily Belowich[11:40:12 AM]: is that right, mr. albritton?

John French[11:40:19 AM]: change what? Please clarify.

Mike Albritton[11:40:29 AM]: pause emily. let me answer nandining

Nandini Srinivasan[11:40:34 AM]: OOH OH he made that system

Emily Belowich[11:40:35 AM]: okay

Nandini Srinivasan[11:40:44 AM]: i forget waht it is though

Emily Belowich[11:40:51 AM]: Solon was the one who created that BALANCE, remember?

Nandini Srinivasan[11:40:55 AM]: YES

Nandini Srinivasan[11:40:56 AM]: that one

Emily Belowich[11:41:01 AM]: that is they KEY!

Emily Belowich[11:41:03 AM]: haha

Ginny Hollingsworth[11:41:07 AM]: the balance between the different classes?

Garret Ekpunobi[11:41:10 AM]: yessssss

Mike Albritton[11:41:10 AM]: yes

Nandini Srinivasan[11:41:11 AM]: YUS

Emily Belowich[11:41:16 AM]: yes yes yes

Ginny Hollingsworth[11:41:17 AM]: SICKKK!

Ginny Hollingsworth[11:41:19 AM]: i remember

Mike Albritton[11:41:28 AM]: Now the thing to remember about solon is this:

Mike Albritton[11:41:35 AM]: He didn't completely solve all the problems.

John French[11:41:38 AM]: could you give us another audio explanation, mr. albritton? those help a lot

Emily Belowich[11:41:41 AM]: He was an Athenian writer statesman and legistlator who did not let the aristocrats have all the say, he tried to create A BALANCE between poor and rich people, broadened citizenship to include craftsmen.

Emily Belowich[11:41:48 AM]: that is from my review packet

Mike Albritton[11:41:54 AM]: magnificent.

Mike Albritton[11:42:05 AM]: eveybody stop typingfor a second and let me zip you an audio

Emily Belowich[11:42:19 AM]: mr. a, can you respond to my answer before about the conflict between sparta and athns?

Emily Belowich[11:46:25 AM]: sorry to keep bugging you mr. a, but can you respond to my answer? ill copy and paste it again

John French[11:46:26 AM]: my dictionary says an archon is "each of the nine chief magistrates in ancient Athens"

Emily Belowich[11:46:39 AM]: Athens and Sparta came to blows in the Great Peloponnesian war because the 30 years of peace endured a little more than 10 years. After many disputes, they both declared war. Sparta's strategy was more traditional: invade Athens and threaten crops, forcing Athens to defend thenmselves in battle. Athenian's strategy was to take pride in their own land and to not let Sparta hurt Athens or invade them at all. Sparta won due to the collapse of the Athenian empire.

Stephen Phillips[11:46:40 AM]: thanks

Mike Albritton[11:47:05 AM]: Solon was a memvber of the elite, elected by the elite. An archon is the elected leader, like president. He made the elite lighten up (some) on the working folds because otherwise they would blow up and the elite would be ruined.

Emily Belowich[11:52:56 AM]: ok thank you!! i have a paragraph about the delian league too--The Delian league was an alliance known for being remarkably successful, driving the Persians from Europe. AFter the Egyptian disaster, the Delian league turned into the Athenian empire, resulting largely from the pressure of war and rebellion. the empire offered one sixtieth of the league's annual revenues to keep for themselves. so they were clearly becoming the master of their subjects

Mike Albritton[11:52:58 AM]: not because they loved to fight
